Tile  Eris and Itzal  Projects  Gallery  Story  [portrait of Maryanne] This is me. I'm Maryanne. I draw comics and sometimes other things.

I decided to go into comics because I had stories I wanted to tell. Though I was weak in prose, I'd been drawing all my life. I attended the Savannah College of Art and Design, and earned my BFA in Sequential Art.

I first started dabbling in webcomics in 2005 with a fantasy strip I intend to revisit one day. Then Tile began in 2006, and suffered from sporadic updates schedules, but is still ongoing.

One day in 2009, while I was having difficulty focusing on a single project, I decided to pretend I was someone else. Someone more productive. Though this did not end up helping me get any of my things done, because she wanted to make her own comic. This comic was Eris and Itzal.

In other news, I enjoy chocolate, hats, motorcycles, dressing like a pirate, dancing around the house to loud music, and learning cool things about the universe.
