Barry Bradfield

Born in Ottawa, Ontario, Bradfield developed an interest in art during his youth.

From June 1994 to July 1997 his untitled comic strip was published in the Ottawa Citizen. The comic, usually one-panel in length, ranged in topics from political humor to slices of life.

In 1998, Bradfield created Batman: The Animated Homepage which featured information and images from Batman: The Animated Series. Following a merger with Superman: The Animated Message Board created by James Harvey, the site was rebranded as The World's Finest. Bradfield later left the site to pursue other interests.

Bradfield has been creating original material and characters since 1994 including his superhero genre parody "Sinus-Man". He also collaborated with Mike Jakubinek on their spy genre parody, "James Bean: Double-Oh-Nothing" which was featured in an animated short in 2002.

He pursued studies in Animation Television at Algonquin College, where he earned his diploma.

Bradfield began work in the collectible toy industry at Art Asylum, and continues to work with Diamond Select Toys and Gentle Giant Ltd.{{Cite web |title=Collector's Corner: Interview with Diamond Select Toys Designer Barry Bradfield |url=https://previewsworld.com/Article/216999-Collectors-Corner-Interview-with-Diamond-Select-Toys-Designer-Barry-Bradfield |access-date=2025-04-03 |website=previewsworld.com |language=en}}{{Cite web |title=Rebelscum.com: Rebelscum.com Presents: The 2020 Gentle Giant Ltd.
