Career
Fabok graduated from St. Clair College's Tradigital Animation program in 2007.[1] He then attended the Word of Life Bible College in Owen Sound for a year, an experience that furthered his interest to pursue a career as a comic artist.[1] After becoming aware that legendary illustrator David Finch lived in his same town, Fabok sent him his portfolio.
