Joe Ollmann lives in Hamilton, the Riviera of Southern Ontario. He is the winner of the Doug Wright Award for Best Book in 2007. His most recent graphic novel is 2021's FICTIONAL FATHER, which follows the only child of one of the world’s most famous cartoonists as he struggles to come to terms with his relationship to art-making and his family. Publishers Weekly's Starred Review said "Ollmann’s funny, faux-meta memoir… is a complex look at an artist’s evolving relationship to the past."
