Piya Wannachaiwong (that's P-ya Wanna-chai-wong) was born in 1979 in Yonkers, New York. He misspent his childhood drawing dinosaurs on paper, kitchen tables, windows, school books and living room walls.He earned his B A in Studio Arts from the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA in 2001. Looking for a more thorough art education, he suddenly found himself at the Admissions office of the Academy of Art University in the City by the Bay (San Francisco).Three years later, someone gave him a piece of paper with the letters MFA 2005 on it, tossed him bodily out the door and told him to be useful and get a job. He is currently employed as an illustrator at Amscan, the largest party supply company in the world. He has also freelanced for game companies, churches and any other company which might appreciate his services. He continues to misspend his adulthood, this time drawing dragons as well as dinosaurs (thankfully not on furniture anymore)
