Morgan Lees is an artist and writer from Michigan, USA. They focused on traditional black and white pencil and ink art for most of their life, but in the last five years they’ve turned towards colorful digital work that keeps the strong basis of line that they learned from their work in comics (they made Corner the Maze). They like to explore traditional fantasy and science fiction narratives with characters less often seen in those roles, filling gaps that they found missing when they were growing up. A background in stage combat and historical martial arts helps them keep the armor and weaponry they depict grounded in reality. They’ve loved fantasy and science fiction since they were a small child when they first read The Lord of the Rings and began working their way through their parents’ science fiction collection. They started getting serious about drawing in order to portray their own characters from roleplaying games and stories that they were writing, and that’s still one of their biggest motivations – bringing characters, both theirs and others’, to life. They studied fine art at Lansing Community College for two years but are otherwise self taught, having learned from their artistic family as they grew up. They’re a member of the Arts Council of Greater Lansing and Art of Combat.
