About Ren Liv Munson

I am a comic artist and illustrator currently studying at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Revolving around a nexus of hope, I draw upon my own experiences with mental illness and chronic pain to inform my work. My life is shaped by alternative aesthetics such as goth, punk, and kawaii culture, and I strive to tell stories which connect on a deep level with people of all ages, histories, and walks of life.

Alongside a body of autobiographical comic works, I am currently publishing a zine series called The Things Behind Us, as well as scriptwriting for various collaborative comics projects.
