Haitian-American artist Goeffrey Jean-Louis was born in White Plains, New York, and raised in Orlando, Florida. After his short story “Mara the Martian” appeared in the 2017 edition of #SummerOfManga, the annual new artist showcase from Saturday AM, Goeffrey was tapped to illustrate and co-plot the seinen supernatural mystery series Yellow Stringer for Saturday AM’s sister magazine Saturday PM. His illustrations have delighted fans in zines as well as on Instagram and other social media platforms, and he won the Lo-Fi Halloween contest in 2020. Goeffrey lives with his family in Florida and is currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in fine arts, focusing on character animation and minoring in computer science.
