Hi, I'm Darrick "DC" Chen. I'm a cartoonist/writer/storyteller from Illinois.
I've spent the vast majority of my life finding new and interesting ways to share my story- my characters, ideas, and message- with the rest of the world. I've been a cartoonist and writer most of my life and I am currently working on Onward Bound, a western-themed fantasy.
My fervent belief is everyone has art in them and it's by sharing that art can we truly undersstand each other as a people.
