★ About ★
Jamie or 'spo0n' (he/they) is a strange creature working in comics and illustration based in Milwaukee, WI. Currently an illustration major at Milwaukee Institute of Art and Desing. He is interested in experimentation in mediums that can be used to create comics, recently working most in risograph and gouache. The stories Jamie tells are an attemt to make sense of thoughts and emotions he can't put neatly into words. They hope to create work that can connect with other weirdo freaks trying to find their place in a hostile world.
