Concept Artist, Illustrator, and Comic Author
Los Angeles, United States

Summary

In love with worldbuilding and storytelling for as long as he can remember, Levi has worked with the likes of Microsoft, 343 Industries, Dark Horse Comics, Catalyst Game Labs, and more on his path to appeasing his inner 8-year-old.

After graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Missouri with an emphasis on illustration and anatomical drawing, Levi taught himself digital painting and began experimenting with comics and game design. His early webcomic, A Fistful of Arrows (http://Leviathan.Bungie.org), made an impact on the Halo fan community by filling in the gaps of the story of Halo: Reach. He went on to create a science-fiction graphic novel entitled Mayflower (http://MayflowerComic.com) and the 80’s manga-inspired REmaster Monk.

Levi has illustrated in-house for the Kansas City Public Library and Cinder Block Brewery, and his art has been featured in a number of books, magazines, comics, and games, including the new Halo Encyclopedia, Halo: Evolutions, Shadowrun, The Pitch, the Joplin Toad, and Kansas City's Summer Reading program.

When not art-ing, Levi is likely sunbathing with The Clash blaring in his ears, dreaming of a Ferris Bueller-style life.
