Paul Wee was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii. He moved to Los Angeles in 1984 to study Illustration at Otis Art Institute of Parsons School of Design, graduating in 1987. Started working in the animation industry, doing time in Saturday morning cartoons, working on such crappy classics as StarCom, Alf, AlfTales, COPS, Super Mario Bros. Until a little show came along called "The Simpsons". Dying to work on something that was actually funny, joined the team in the second season and have been with the show ever since, currently in it's 19th season.
Worked on a few feature films including Sony Pictures Animation's "Open Season" doing Visual Development, and as Character Layout Lead on the "Simpsons Movie"
