Mercy Michaud (25) is a self-taught, queer, trans artist living in Queens, NY. Working primarily as a pen and paper artist, comics are their preferred medium as they create a unique organization for story telling. Throughout their work, Mercy centers the spectrum of human emotion and collective experience. Mercy’s visuals emphasize the way we belong to to everyone and everything; they juxtapose the vacuum of the self against the choir of humanity; they are a hand reaching out.
