My name is Mary Clark, and I was raised in the frozen north among the smell of beer yeast and cheese. With long cold months in Wisconsin and Michigan I dove into sci-fiction and fantasy novels, a love I shared with my brothers and father before discovering anime. Drawn into the art style and storytelling, it shifted my mind and motivated me to draw the universe in my head instead of writing it. I was inspired by the story of Sailor Moon and the animation of Studio Ghibli's films, while books such as the Dark Hunter series, Dresden files, and Chronicles of Amber influenced the genre for my stories. I also enjoy researching modern religion and mythology to help influence some of my character designs. 

I have been looking into books about screenwriting to help work on a personal script in my hopes to one day either animate it or turn it into a comic. Some of my interests and inspiration influenced the Burning Embers. Many of the characters were drawn from Christian lore and backgrounds from Middle-Eastern mythology.  There is also lots of Greek lore and stories to influence some of the events that take place in this world. It’s a modern fantasy series with a mystery that plagues the characters as they learn more of the forces on this outside at work. 

T.R.U.S.T. is a series of shorts about a robot working on a space station in an unknown sector. The robot believes they are a narrating teacher on a children tv show teaching others about how physics work in space to the dismay to the humans also aboard the station.

I am looking forward to meeting you in my colorful world of chaos. I am thankful for you looking at work and may we work together. If you happen to swing by the conventions in the Kansas, Missouri area, feel free to make a stop at the Nerdy Foxtails’ table to join me.
