Hi, I’m Mia Emerson!
I’m a freelance illustrator from Plainfield, Illinois.
I will earn my BFA in Illustration at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design in May 2025. I’m told I’m a pretty funny fellow, so I suppose comics and graphic novels were a natural choice for me. I often focus on storytelling and the human experience in my work, and I employ a variety of mediums like writing, printmaking, and (of course) comics to do so.
Aside from comics, I am open to doing a variety of work within the publishing and advertising industry. I have designed posters for the Trek Bicycle Corporation and Penfield Children’s Center in collaboration with MIAD. I have exhibited work in gallery shows like Don’t Call Me Junior! Excerpts from MIAD’s 3rd Year Experience, Penfield Poster Exhibition, and Punks, Geeks, and Lovers.
Outside of art, I spend a lot of my time playing video games, reading comics and manga, watching anime, and petting my cat Shaw.
