Ian MacEwan<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 I didn’t write Atonement! Hi. I’m a comics artist and illustrator in Portland, Oregon. The Yankee is my first comic that’s been released into the public sphere. In my down time I curate Quenched Consciousness, a tumblr devoted to the work of Jean “Moebius” Giraud. When I’m not doing that, I’m probably forgetting to eat regularly or finding new ways to disrupt my sleep schedule.
