After Alex Woolfson started a successful career as a filmmaker in the Bay Area, he soon realized the best way to make the "big-budget" adventure stories he craved would be as full-color comics. Inspired by the sci-fi thrillers he loved as a kid, he teamed up with illustrator Winona Nelson to create the science-fiction graphic novel, Artifice. In addition to writing and publishing comics, Alex enjoys eating other people's cooking, talking to strangers in the far parts of the world and spending weeks at a time on silent meditation retreat. He currently lives in the Bay Area where he is writing scripts for his latest story with gay action heroes, the superhero webcomic The Young Protectors.
