Jazz Groden-Gilchrist is a Canadian comic artist with a BFA in Illustration from Emily Carr University. Growing up as an adopted kid and only black person in his family, identity was more of a struggle for him than he realized, but he found he was able to express this through the safe distance of storytelling. He enjoys creating diverse fantasy settings that explore identity, complex familial relations, and responsibility. His other passions include D&D, Ultimate Frisbee (briefly a professional athlete), and engineering casual conversations to be verbal Rube Golbergs that culminate in bland puns.
