M. R. Kessell is a writer, illustrator, and a musician with a penchant for the weird and macabre.

And smoothies.

He doesn’t usually talk about himself in the third person, but it sounds more official this way, so I’m just gonna stick with it. I mean him. Him will stick with it. 

Born and raised in New Jersey, he currently lives in New York City with his lovely wife and their large cat.

By day, he works as a project engineer in New York City’s architectural metals industry. You may have seen some of his work.

Fun Fact:

He doesn’t believe in Puffins.
