A cartoonist and writer from New Orleans, Louisiana, who is currently based in Chicago, Illinois. Noir creates work that is fiction and auto-biographical fiction. Their work focuses on the interpersonal uncanny, futurism and black queer identity. The artist is an alumnus of The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
As an artist I work primarily in ink, gouache, and watercolor. My practice focuses on comic making and writing. Working within the themes of Afrofuturism, life-writing and the metaphysical, my illustrations experiment with elements of horror and eeriness. I create atmospheres that leave the audience questioning and intrigued. My comics are sometimes autobiographical while others are science fiction, fiction, or fall within the category of graphic journalism. I appreciate how unserious you can be with comics and the endless amount of experimentation within the format. In terms of prose, I prefer formatting my writing as essays. Working within similar themes as my comics do, I expand on them by taking inspiration from sociologist and feminist texts.
