Hey! I’m Lie Blake, an artist with experience in comics, illustration, and writing! I love anything fantasy with a twist- whether that be something a bit spooky, comedic, or strange. I pour my heart into my work and love surrounding myself with other passionate artists, working in teams or just being a part of the artistic community through zines or anthologies.
If you need someone willing to jump into the trenches with you, I’m that guy.
