M. R. Kessell is a writer, illustrator, and musician with a penchant for the weird and macabre.
And smoothies.
Born and raised in New Jersey, he currently lives in New York City with his lovely wife.
By day, he works as a Design Drafter. By night he works as a Freelance Illustrator/Graphic Designer creating book covers, drawing comics, and creating various product designs.
He has published two books: IT CAME FROM THE BASEMENT, an original illustrated book for monster kids of all ages, and BATBOY AND THE ART OF SELF-SABOTAGE, a collection of the first fifty Batboy comic strips.
He created an illustration that went slightly viral on social media a few years back titled THE RETURN OF PUMPKINSPICE.
In between all of that he puts art tutorials, animation and music out on his YouTube channel.
