Hi, I'm Ray! I’m a cartoonist, prehistory buff, sci-fi nerd, and anthropology student. My work is primarily inspired by Paleolithic art, outer space, LGBTQIA+, and cute characters! I have a BFA in cartooning and illustration and I'm working toward a BA in anthropology. Eventually I would like to become a paleoanthropologist so I can study cave art sites and make educational graphic novels about them.I'm available for work as an inker for comics!
