We have an amazing sponsor this month... Art by Mi Ran!

Hello I am Mi Ran artist and owner of Artbymiran, I was born in Seoul, South Korea. I grew up with Korean and Japanese Manga. In my childhood, I loved drawing and making my own little stories. I moved to Canada in my late 20s, where I reside with my husband.

I have worked on a variety of publications, ranging from children's to contemporary adult genres. I have contributed as an artist and colorist. I also worked as a graphic artist and layout designer for non-comic publications. For several years I was able to share my passion through teaching art to elementary school aged children. These experiences have influenced my recent artwork. 

I am excited to have been kindly received into the community of digi stampers and crafters.

I love to share my art. I love thinking of new images, and it’s so fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art.
