Vaughn grew up in Moncton, New Brunswick. As a kid, he could always be found drawing or with his face buried in a book or two.

Once Vaughn hit junior high, he developed a more serious interest in art, from pottery and sculpture to painting in all sorts of mediums. In college, he took Intro to Animation, and then a 3D Graphics and Design course. After leaving college, he focused on commissions, ranging from pin-ups to murals.

After moving to Nova Scotia in 2007, Vaughn started to attend local conventions in the artist alleys. He soon launched his personal brand, Sweet Loots, consisting of original digital and watercolour illustrations, pet portraits, greeting cards, and some pop-culture paintings.

At Hal-Con 2010, Vaughn met Jay Paulin and soon discussed working together. They started with the poster and cover to the Ink'd Well Comics charity anthology What The Wild Things Read, and it's exploded from there.

In his downtime, Vaughn enjoys playing Dungeons & Dragons and all sorts of board and video games, watching movies, listening to podcasts, and of course reading!
