Guy Porfirio is an artist, author and storyteller. Porfirio grew up near Chicago, which may have nothing to do with his curious preference for deep-dish pizza, but everything to do with his unique voice and sheer wit. Porfirio lives in Arizona, the setting for his recent picture books, "My Grandma Lives in Arizona" and "Jump." Porfirio’s artwork has been featured in advertising, books, posters and murals. Porfirio claims drawing as his second language, and painting as pure heartfelt fun.
