Lorenz Peter was born in Montreal, Quebec and grew up in northern Alberta in the 1970s and 80s. After a short stint in art school there, LP began to self publish comics in the 1990s amidst a wave of zine makers in Toronto and Vancouver. LP settled in Toronto in the late 90's and took on jobs as a telephone surveyer, a subway courier, a waiter, muralist, bookstore receiver, caterer, record shop owner and set painter to name a few. Most of these experiences end up in his semi-autobiographical stories. LP was awarded the Doug Wright award for best emerging talent for his novel Dark Adaptation in 2005. His 5th book, On Vinyl, was nominated for a prize at Montreal Expozine 2018. Moon Boots is LPs 6th graphic novel.
