Happy #ColoristAppreciation Day! I often feel like I stand on the shoulder of giants with so many talented folks in my field.

Thanks for making the space, Alex! I'm Avery and I color comics. My jam is spooky stories for YA and MG audiences but I'm generally open to anything. Here's some pages of work (colors on inks by: Jenn St-Onge, Morgan Beem, Justin Barcelo and Talia Dutton).

Hi Gail! I'm a comic colorist, super excited to have been able to work with pubs like HarperCollins to help make books for YA and MG audiences. Here's some pages from The Ojja-Wojja (Mags Visaggio & Jenn St-Onge) that I'm proud of, and some samples from Justin Barcelo and Morgan Beem.

Slowly adding my pages here. I have nothing new to show until the publishing powers that be allow me to, but here's a sample page I've always been incredibly proud of.

Hello! I'm a life long horror fan, comics colorist, and I'm especially passionate about horror and supernatural comics for MG and YA audiences. I want to make spooky stories that I would have wanted as a kid.

Hello #PortfolioDay!
I'm Avery and I'm a comic colorist looking for work late fall/winter 2023+. I've worked with HarperCollins and Abrams, and love horror, sci-fi, and LGBTQA+ stories for middle grade and YA but open to others.

Bookshelf 2/???: My Stephen King books that have survived moves or lending out to friends over the years. I used to have so many, but really kept the most nostalgic ones.

I've been loving looking at @definitelyvita.bsky.social's bookshelves and wanted to share some of mine!

I kinda curate my books by mood. This one is non-comics related lit that gets my brain going. Lots of Shirley Jackson, Amanda Lovelace, etc.

Shoot my shot? I'm going to be looking for some new work in November-ish.

If any of your comics projects are spooky and/or weird and need a colorist I'm down to chat! In the shorter term I'm also free for some covers or shorter comics (under 10 pages).

Hello!! I'm Avery and I color comics. I love working on horror and sci-fi for MG & YA audiences, with a huge soft spot for LGBTQA+ stories. The stranger the better, so reach out with your weird books.
