Tillie Walden is a cartoonist and illustrator from Austin, Texas. Born in 1996, she is a recent graduate of the Center for Cartoon Studies in Vermont. During her time at CCS she published three books with London-based publisher Avery Hill: The End of Summer, A City Inside and I Love This Part. She has already received an Eisner Award nomination and two Ignatz Awards for her work. When she is not drawing comics, Tillie can be found walking and listening to audiobooks or asleep with a cat. She also enjoys studying architecture and tries to incorporate that passion into her comics. Spinning is her first long-form autobiographical work.
