Inspired by cartoons, Tripper Dungan drew prolifically as a child. By age 13 he was steadily writing a comic strip entitled Child Hood. Tripper went to high school at the Las Vegas Academy of performing and visual arts and International Studies in Old town Las Vegas. This is where he met John Engle whom he collaborated with on Meat Comics, the Carnival of the Eye backyard experiential, and other Number Star co. creations. After leaving Las Vegas he moved up to Oregon to live with his friend Scarlett Rose Torrance. In 1999 they started performing shadow puppet shows at lounges, house parties, fairs, and piano schools around town. In 2002 he moved up to Portland Oregon and built shows with Junk Town a loose art collective dedicated to making art out of discarded materials. Now Tripper paints 3d pictures, and makes electronic music for his cartoons and shadow puppets.
