He is also a magazine illustrator and book designer, perhaps best known for his work designing the complete collection of Charles M. Palooka-Ville began as a low-key chronicle of the artist's daily life but moved on to longer and more ambitious stories, including what was later collected as the graphic novel It's a Good Life. Seth, Chester Brown, and Joe Matt not only also began their own semi- autobiographical series at the same time, but were friends and sometimes depicted each other in their stories. It became part of a miniature boom in non- genre alternative comics from Canada in the 1990s. In 1990, he began his own series, Palooka-ville, which was one of the first series to be published by Montréal, Canada-based Drawn and Quarterly. He left after issue #13, and went into illustration for a few years. Seth's first published comics work was providing the artwork to the Vortex Comics series Mister X, shortly after Los Bros Hernandez left. He currently lives in Guelph, Ontario, with his wife, Tania, and two cats. Born in Clinton, Ontario, Seth attended the Ontario College of Art in Toronto.
