Mary Verhoeven

  • Hi! I'm Mary, an artist working in comics, illustration and games. I love anything spooky and haunted and really enjoy working in YA.

  • I picked it at the dawn of time when signing up for twitter; it's a call back to a teenage online handle, plus "comix" because I wanted to work in comics. I used and "x" at the end instead of an "s" because I am very cool.

  • Love to draw a skeleton, or a horrible beastie, diagrams of weird places and gangs of intrepid adventurers.

  • Big fan of blues & oranges in combination. Why? Honestly it's probably half because it just looks great, and half I love saying "blorange". What a great portmanteau.

  • Of course, how could it now! Learning how to interpert other's ideas in your own way, or just bouncing ideas around really helps flesh out your own creative lexicon.

  • This was an elementary school staple during rain-days, where we couldn't go outside to play. I mostly drew robots and horses!

  • A half eaten bean burrito, a cryptic map and a small copper key. The key wouldn't open anything, which I think pretty well encapsulates my sense of humour.

  • I can't say much right now as it hasn't been officially announced, but I am working on something really fun and special with Maverick, which is the young adult imprint of Mad Cave Studios. So keep your eyes open for more on it soon!
