Hi I’m Mariel! I’m an illustrator, designer, zine-maker and graphic novelist, who shares my time between Toronto and Cardiff.

I have over 10 years of industry experience both in-house and freelance, drawing and designing for brands and businesses big and small. I am available for comics and sequential work, editorial work, illustration-driven graphic design, and turning ideas into things! I am open to personal commissions but approach them selectively.

My graphic novel Monster (2022) can be found through Black Eye Books

Let’s work together! Please direct any and all inquiries to marielashlinn@gmail.com
