Hi there! I’m part storyteller, part chaos gremlin, and 100% in love with creating worlds where imagination actually makes sense.

Oh hey there! I’m Manda Lynn, artist, storyteller, and full-time day dreamer with an overactive imagination and too many sketchbooks to count. I’ve been drawing and creating worlds for as long as I can remember, and along the way, I fell completely in love with manga; the art, the world building, the storytelling, all of it. My work is all about bringing characters to life: the weird, the wonderful, and the ones who won’t stop talking in my head until I draw them (sometimes literally). I love mixing humor, heart, and a little chaos in everything I create, because art should feel alive. Whether it’s sketching late at night with a cup of coffee (yes) or pulling my hair out over my next plot point.

I started out teaching myself, drawing anywhere I could; napkins, notebooks, random receipts. Finally, I decided it was time to take things seriously and go to school. I studied classic art first (because foundations matter, right?) and then wandered my way into animation, where everything clicked. Seeing characters move that I drew was like watching my imagination come to life for the first time.

I’ve always been inspired by stories that feel big, the kind that stay with you. Lord of the Rings taught me about epic worlds and quiet courage, One Piece showed me how friendship and dreams can make the impossible feel real, and Howl’s Moving Castle (the novel)…well, that one taught me that a little magic and a messy heart can make something beautiful. I still remember sneaking into the first Lord of the Rings movie as a kid, wide-eyed and completely in love with the idea that someone made this world. That moment pretty much set me on this path, and I’ve been chasing that feeling of wonder ever since. Now, I pour all of that: the lessons, the love, the spark, into every story I create. Because for me, art isn’t just what I do. It’s how I see the world.

I look forward to sharing more of myself and taking you on a great adventure.
