Bio
Photo by Susan Hershey
Paul Jamiol has been behind a pen, pencil or computer most of his adult life. His love of the art world and cartooning have given him a chance to speak out and give something, however small, back to those he cares about. He credits Linda, his best friend and the love of his life, for giving him the peace of mind and heart to focus on his art.
His editorial cartoons have appeared extensively in newspapers and on the Internet. He has drawn and published political cartoons for his site, Jamiol's World, every week since September 2000.
Below are some of the places where Paul's cartoons and artwork have appeared in print...
