John Grimes

John Grimes, cartoonist, illustrator, and photographer, grew up in the Washington DC suburbs and now lives in San Francisco. His cartoons and illustrations, which have been featured in journals, books, films, online trainings, and consumer products, are inspired by relationships and a “world gone mad.” During the pandemic he coined the term Grimes factor: “One’s age is the approximate percentage of conversation devoted to health.”
