Mike Krahulik is the artist from the popular web comic Penny Arcade. He goes by the online moniker "John Gabriel" or "Gabe". Krahulik's unique drawing style can also be recognized in promotional comics he has created for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six and many other video games.
Krahulik's style has changed (and, it can be argued, improved) since he began drawing Penny Arcade in 1998.
When not working on their comic, Krahulik and his partner Jerry Holkins (AKA "Tycho Brahe") play videogames and attend gaming conferences and events.
He lives in Seattle, Washington with his wife, Kara, whom he proposed to in a special edition of Penny Arcade (http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php3?date=1999-02-17). On September 9, 2004, he and his wife became parents to a son, Gabriel Aiden Krahulik.
In addition to the artwork on the comic strip and for video game promotions, Krahulik also provided the illustrations for the cover of the book "Agent to the Stars" by John Scalzi [1] (http://www.scalzi.com/whatever/003475.html).
