THE SAFE VERSION.
Leah graduated from the University of Arizona
with a BFA in Illustration/Design. While on campus she produced
a daily comic strip, Sauce, for 3 1/2 years and interned at Marvel
Comics. She has been on staff with a local paper as a Graphic
Artist since October 2003, where she produces everything from pie
charts to full-page dynamic poster illustrations, garnering her
an abundance of local recognition. She does a wide variety of freelance
on her spare time, from coffee shop merchandise design to comic
books to storyboarding to event caricaturist...
THE KICK YOUR MOM VERSION.
Leah has been drawing since the opposable
thumb was discovered. Why am I talking in the third person? I'm
incredibly motivated and passionate about design and
illustration. My expertise lies in caricatures, human
anatomy, and visual storytelling, but I'm more
versatile than most Transformers. I'm constantly
learning new mediums because there is no room for complacency in
passion. Working on the comic with George "Maddox" Ouzounian
has been a dream come true. I got to draw pirates head-butting
little girls, and guts. GUTS! Not to mention the illustrations
for his book. Working at The Star has landed me on the
news,
but the freelance I have been doing (comics, storyboarding, caricaturist,
designer, and a buttload of everything else), keeps my blood white
hot with pumpedness.
