Hi, I’m LJ - a writer, illustrator, and comic artist!
I love bringing stories to life with the same excitement, vibrancy, and individuality that I hope to inspire in my audience!
I have adored drawing for as long as I can remember, from creating my own sequels to the latest Biff and Chip books to mimicking the quirky expressions of characters I saw in cartoons.
My experience in storyboarding for animation and maintaining a comic diary have taught me the nuances for illustrating characters with humanity and complex emotions, as well as super fun, over-the-top expressions!
Most of all, I want to inspire the joy of visual storytelling in today’s youth. I would love to create that same feeling of excitement I experienced when I was little, as I traced the illustrations from my favourite books by the hallway light.
I am particularly keen on illustrating for preschool, picture, and middle grade audiences.
