Hello there, you beautiful people! My name's Nathan. I'm a writer, illustrator, and comic book creator based in Chicago.

I started my journey as a creative when I was a young boy, probably around the age of 7, when I started constructing worlds and characters in my mind that I thought were cool. My drawing habits started when I tried to imitate the design and feel of characters from Dragon Ball Z, which I'm sure many people of my generation can relate to. I prided myself in my art skills among my classmates growing up, but I didn't get serious about art until I reached high school; that's when my imaginations had culminated into a story that was deeply meaningful to me. I wanted to translate the world and characters in my head into something visible and real.

I sharpened my craft silently for a long time as I struggled to decide on the specific aesthetic and feel I wanted in my story, but over time, I realized that you have to jump in at some point in order to really finalize the big decisions. I wish I had discovered that sooner, and I want to inspire everyone else to jump in as well.

Commission work is the only professional work that I've done with my creative skills in the past, believing that I wasn't good enough yet to fully devote myself to my passion project. But time wasn't the thing that I needed. So many of us try to wait until we're ready for that leap, not realizing that readiness is never something we will actually obtain until we're in the thick of it. I want to help others reach that conclusion as quickly as possible.

So,

Welcome to the fruits of my creative journey, and may it be a helpful companion to yours.
