About the Artist
Erica Reis is a sequential artist and illustrator
hailing from Austin,
Texas. Always knowing she would find a
career as an artist, she graduated from the Savannah College of
Art and Design in 2006 with a degree in Sequential Art, and
amazingly was already working in the professional field before
graduation.
Her first book which she both wrote and drew, a manga entitled
SEA PRINCESS AZURI published by Tokyopop Inc., came out in that
same year. It is the story of a killer whale mermaid princess
unlike any mermaid princess you've ever seen, set in a rich
underwater world created entirely by Erica. The dangers and
pressures Princess Azuri undergoes are great, as she must decide
what is the right thing to do to save her kingdom in the face of
confusing love. Volume 2 is scheduled
to be released in October
of 2007.
Erica lives and breathes her life as an artist, and is at heart
a storyteller who swoons for other wordly tales of true love.
Her art thrives on juxtaposing the unexpected, creating
something new and beautiful
simply for the reason that she's never seen anything like it
before.
