Brian Ahearn is the author and illustrator of the popular webcomic series Zoodraws. Through relatable humor and expressive animal characters, his work blends traditional drawing, science, and storytelling to spark laughter, curiosity, and a deeper connection to nature.

He’s collaborated with organizations including Humane World for Animals, Born Free USA, and Colossal Biosciences on projects exploring animal welfare, environmental issues, and wildlife conservation. He was also selected as a lead artist for the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s Bird Art Week and teamed up with Bird Buddy to illustrate the tiny dinosaurs in his own backyard.

Brian holds a Bachelor of Science in Graphic Design. Even better, he once had a comic about manatee flatulence fact-checked and confirmed by Snopes. When he’s not drawing, Brian enjoys spending time outdoors with his family, sketching ideas for future comics, and making ambitious plans to start a vegetable garden that will no doubt be devoured by squirrels.
