My name is Mars and I am an illustrator and writer living and working in Cleveland, Ohio.

Projects that I am seeking out and most excited to work on include picture books, graphic narratives, editorial illustrations, character designs and lots more!

I love experimenting with a variety of mediums, depending on what a particular piece calls for. I think my favorite tools to pull out of the box are colored pencils, gouache, and collage! I am interested in projects that are full of humor, whimsy, and stories centering LGBTQ+ characters, friendship, and silly creatures.

On the chill days, you can find me hanging out with my two cats (Tanji and BMO,) riding my bike around town, or in the printmaking studio.

I look forward to working with you!
