Hi, Mike here :)

he/him or they/them

I’m an artist, illustrator, and micropress publisher living in Omaha. I enjoy working in diverse mediums like painting, soft sculpture, performance art, graphic design, and printmaking. 

 

Since 2018, I’ve run the WBMC, a Patreon project publishing a new zine each month from trans and queer authors. 

I'm currently working on Lady Margaret, a gothic, fairytale-inspired comic based on the folksong of the same name. I was awarded a microgrant by Amplify Arts to publish the comic in 2022! 

In the future, I'm pursuing further work illustrating comics in collaboration with another writer or artist. 

Want to collaborate?
