Teare was educated at University of Idaho and Utah State University. He subsequently moved to New York City where he freelanced for the New York Times.
Teare is a landscape painter and noted woodcut artist. In 2006 his woodblock print "Rock Moss" won the Deseret Morning News $2,500 Purchase Award.

A spin-off comic, The Subterranean, has subsequently been created and released online.
