Keezy Young

About the Author

Keezy Young is an award-winning and Eisner and Ignatz-nominated cartoonist and illustrator who writes and draws comics and graphic novels. They enjoy writing mystery, horror, love stories, and ghosts, and their vibrant retro color palettes and strong sense of linework help to bring their stories to life. Their work is character-focused, and they often explore LGBTQIA characters and themes. Mental illness is also an important focus in many of their stories. Outside of drawing and making comics, they spend most of their time watching horror movies, listening to oldies tunes, and waiting impatiently for the sun to come out in the Pacific Northwest.

About the Author

Keezy Young is a queer comic artist, writer, and illustrator from the Pacific Northwest, currently living in Seattle, WA. They grew up drawing on their walls, stealing a few extra chapters by nightlight after bedtime, making graveyards for lost animals in the forest with their brother and sister, and adding monsters and flowers to the margins of every homework assignment. Today, Keezy creates young adult graphic novels and short comics. Their stories are eerie, and often dark, but almost always hopeful at their core.
