Meet MJ!

This is Marie Jane, a freelance comic artist and illustrator with a fun mermaid persona and proud follower of Jesus Christ.

She was born on February 18, 1995 and has had the passion to draw since the moment she could hold a pencil. Growing up with so much practice, MJ always excelled in the creative field both inside and outside of her formal education, winning awards and honors along the way.

Over the years, MJ organized art shows, taught students

and performed at the Art Gallery of Ontario on more than one occasion. She was featured and interviewed by the New York Times, gave presentations to students at colleges as a model artist, and her talents were recognized by DC and Marvel Comics editors when they met her at Fan Expo Canada.

​

Today, MJ prioritizes her faith and her personal projects while managing commissions and her store. She hopes that her crowd funding on Patreon will one day be enough to support herself so she can can continue to create the content she loves, especially her favorite project The Alley Cat, her comic series which is ongoing and free to read.
