About Chris Ayers

Chris is an character designer and concept artist living in Los Angeles, California. He has accomplished his dream of working in the film industry, and has been a part of such films as Men In Black II, Fantastic Four, and The Santa Clause 2.

Chris has had his own battle with cancer. In 2005 he was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML - a cancer of the blood). Luckily, things have gone well so far and he continues to try to live one day at a time.

Chris says on his website:

"In 2006, on the one-year anniversary of my diagnosis, I started a sketchbook called The Daily Zoo and set out to draw one animal each day for a year. My hope, in addition to being challenging and fun, was that it would help my healing process and give me a focused opportunity to appreciate the gift of each healthy day."
