Hi, I'm Ray! I enjoy making comics, studying prehistory, and consuming sci-fi media! My work is largely inspired by Paleolithic art, space exploration, and LGBTQIA+ experiences. I have a BFA in cartooning from the School of Visual Arts and a BA in anthropology from Southern New Hampshire University. I'm extremely interested in paleoanthropology and cognitive archaeology. Eventually I would like to make both fiction and non-fiction graphic novels about the art and artists of Paleolithic Europe.I'm available to ink your comics! Check out my Hire Me page for more info.My pronouns are they/them.

I ink comics and I'm always on the look out for new projects! I also have experience with assistant inking (inking backgrounds, crowds, etc).Page Rates
Inking: $75-$100 per page
Assistant Inking: $40-$60 per pageThese rates are for art only. If you'd like me to put in panel borders and/or word balloons I may charge an additional fee. I prefer to work on projects that already have the panel borders put in. Rates are negotiable and depend on the complexity and length of your project. I may be able to work with your budget on long-format projects (graphic novels or ongoing webcomics). Please contact me with more details for a quote!Method
