Marty grew up in northern Ohio, and earned his BFA in Graphic Design there. He had several studio design jobs in Boston, then moved to San Franciso to freelance as an illustrator. In 1982 he got his first motorcycle. That same year he accepted a design job at The Boston Globe, where he met illustrator Jamie Hogan. Two years later they married, and lived the freelancer’s life in San Francisco. They now live on an island off the coast of Portland, Maine with their daughter Daisy, and enjoy touring New England together on their motorcycles.
