Mary Park

“My name is Mary Park, and I am a Los Angeles Based artist. Before doing comics, my background was digital media, I worked professionally as a designer for various companies, but my heart just wasn’t quite there so I began to draw comics loosely based off my life in my downtime and Murrz was born!”
