Biography edit

Lagarrigue was born in Paris, to a French father who was an illustrator and painter, and an American mother who was a journalist and writer. As a child, he was schooled in France, but spent summers in New York City, where he now lives. He graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design, with a major in illustration, in 1996.[1][5]

Two years after graduation, Parsons School of Design made Lagarrigue professor of drawing and painting.[6]
