Paul Friedrich is a native of Raleigh, North Carolina and the great-grandson of the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (ruler of Mecklenburg-Schwerin from 1837 to 1842). Drawing upon his vast and grand family history, Paul tries to represent traditional values and morals in his paintings as well as feelings of comfort. Paul's color sense comes from a deep spirituality that connects him to the earth in ways that allow him to observe and realize our natural connection to blues, greens and ecru.
He is the creator of the popular characters Onion Head Monster and Hubie the Dead Cow (among many others). He is also the creator of HellCar comics, DVD, unconference, and empire. Paul is one of the acclaimed leaders of the Low Pop art movement.
In 2007 Paul was nominated for an Eisner Award for his book, Onion Head Monster Attacks. The book was nominated in the Best Humor Publication category. He lost in dramatic fashion to Bob Burden's Flaming Carrot.
