Alex Lukas' drawings have been exhibited in Philadelphia, Los Angeles, New York, Denver and Stockholm, Sweden.
While a Rhode Island School of Design student in 2001, Lukas founded Cantab Publishing, which specializes in low run,
hand made artists' 'zines. Since that time he has released more than 20 titles, including over 1,500 copies made by hand.
In 2005, Lukas was crowned the "King of Zine" by Tokion Magazine. Lukas has contributed both artwork and writing to Swindle
Magazine, Apenest and The Drama Magazine. Born and raised in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and a 2003 Rhode Island School of
Design graduate, Lukas lived in Brooklyn for three years and then packed his life into the back of a pickup truck and hit
the road, living on various couches throughout the country.
