Conner grew up in a muddy, unpaved, rural part of Michigan. They were, as their parents referred to as, a "self entertaining child" who would dip into their own fantasies to draw and come up with stories for hours on end.
Around the ages of 5-7, Conner was already drawing comics about superhero-animals, making flip book animations, and creating creature designs that bordered on babies first speculative biology. With a great love for fiction, animals, and education, they spent near every moment of their youth practicing the arts to regale themselves. As of today, Conner is an imaginative adult, member of the LGBT+ community, and eco-hobiest who is known for keeping busy. |
Outside of their artwork, some of their hobbies include native butterfly husbandry (namely raising and releasing Eastern Black Swallowtail and Monarch butterflies), live-streaming on Twitch.TV, and recycling single use plastic bags into reusable handcrafted goods through crochet.
This up-cycling hobby came to be after years of frustration that their college dorm did not recycle plastics. After learning about "plarn" crochet on the internet, Conner went to ever stop that the elevators in the dorm made and taped up a sign letting people know that outside their dorm door would be a cardboard box for people to deposit their unwanted plastic bags. Soon after, they were inundated with a lifetime supply of crafting materials and are still working through them to this day. |
