Hello hello!I'm Nahee (aka StudioLepta), a Korean-Canadian storyboard and comic artist from Ontario. You might know me for my silly animatics on YouTube or my comedy-adventure webcomic, Rags and Rascals, which explores heartfelt and goofy sibling dynamics. After graduating summa cum laude with a BFA in Visual Arts, I've been focused on crafting a career with my storytelling. It's a wild ride, and given that you're still here reading this, well... buckle up, buddy.(Kidding. Though I would love to have you along for the ride!)In 2021, I self-published Rags and Rascals's pilot comic, Beyond Aurega's Walls, with a short print run. I was also an intern and comic flatter for Space Boy, Stephen McCranie's long-running Webtoon series, in early 2022.At my core, I long to tell stories of hope, love, and good ol' chaotic adventure. Triple bonus points if musical sequences are involved. I'm here to create good stuff for God's glory and maybe (...hopefully) make you laugh!
For any business inquiries, please email [email protected]Psst! If this is your first time reaching out to an artist for a commission, don't be intimidated. Just remember to send me as many relevant details as you can (e.g. type of commission, project length, intended use, etc.) so that I can help you figure things out.
