Alina Pete was born in the frozen wastes of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. To survive the harsh Canadian winters, she took to doodling funny animals on any available surface in a feeble attempt to stay warm. After high school, Alina studied classical animation and went to the University of Saskatchewan in pursuit of a BFA (which remains uncompleted). She followed this up with a 3D animation certificate, just for good measure. Alina is a firm believer in overkill.

Over the years, Alina has lived in Albera, Fiji, Arizona and China. She really gets around! At various times she has worked as a web designer, an art gallery director, a graphic designer and a digital effects artist. Her talents are displayed in such projects as Wapos Boy (Gemini Award-winning children's animation for Canadian television) and her online comics, Weregeek and Moosehead Stew.

Alina is a proud member of the Little Pine First Nation, a Cree native reservation located in central Saskatchewan. In her spare time, Alina enjoys playing a wide variety of role-playing games, designing elaborate costumes for LARP, painting Warhammer miniatures and console video gaming. She currently lives in Northern Alberta with her devoted boyfriend Layne and her pet hedgehogs.
