Michelle L. Nguyen

Michelle Nguyen is a Vietnamese-American illustrator and comic artist based in Portland, Oregon. After obtaining her Fine Arts degree from Portland State University and leaving the gallery scene, she pursued and obtained her lifelong dream of working in comics. Michelle has previously illustrated the Reckstar webcomic, and contributed artwork to the Misadventures of Grumpy Cat & Pokey series (Dynamite) and the Ignatz and Eisner-award winning anthology Elements:Fire (Beyond Press). The Underfoot: The Mighty Deep was her first fully illustrated graphic novel. Michelle enjoys life in the pacific northwest with her equally artistic high-school-sweetheart-turned-spouse, Adrian Ricker, and their significantly stupid cat and ridiculously cute dog.
