O.K. is a 24-year-old cartoonist and educator living in Vermont with their cat Goose. They graduated from The Center for Cartoon Studies in 2024. O.K. loves using their art to tell stories that are fun, meaningful and a little bit magical. They spend most of their time in the worlds they come up with in their head, accompanied by relevant music playlists.

In the past, O.K. has worn lots of hats - bookseller, nanny, and noodle chef, to name a few. These days, they wear the hat of substitute teacher at a local elementary school. When they’re not working in person with students, O.K. is an illustrator and designer at Miacademy, creating accessible comic-ified K-12 curriculum.

After they are done sitting hunched over at their desk making art (and ruining their spinal curvature), O.K. can be found watching cartoons, composing elaborate Star Wars fanfiction, or tending to their tiny front porch garden.

O.K. is represented by Molly O’Neill at Root Literary. Visit the Contact page to get in touch.
