Fine. Here's a real bio:
Christopher Chan is an award-winning art director with over a decade of experience in the advertising industry. He's also an award-winning board game designer/illustrator with several published titles and more on the way! When he's not doing either of those things, he's generally out running or chasing insects around with a camera.
Recently, he became a Canadian permanent resident and is now based in Toronto, ON.
Neat, eh?
