Hi, I'm Blujay Buckley, I am a graphic novelist, illustrator, and writer. I am the author and illustrator of Raising Frankenstein and specialize in horror and historical fiction, but I am willing to branch out to gain more work experience. I am not a cartoonist and specialize in much more grounded art. My rates heavily depend on what the project is and I am open to discussing and negotiating.
