Nice to meet you! My name is Moe (they/them) and I am an illustrator, painter, and teacher currently based in Oakland, California. I grew up surrounded by corn (Grinnell, Iowa) and was lucky to have access to lots of arts and crafts programming as a kid. I’ve been drawing as long as I can remember, and eventually I earned my degree in Visual Art with honors from Brown University (Providence, Rhode Island). My work has a lot to do with the feeling of taking a walk in springtime when the plants are so bursting with life that you feel like you’ll be swept away by them. But I’m also inspired by a million other things, from music to science fiction to cooking. Mostly, I like to make squiggly lines and weird little guys. I’m available for work in children’s illustration, editorial, posters and album art, and more.
