Howdy! My name is Bailey Culver. I’m a storyteller with a soft spot for misfits.

I create comics for people who started watching Adult Swim way too early and think every little thing will lead to the end of the world. On one hand, I focus on comedic young adult stories that revolve around identity and community influenced by youth counter-culture.  On the other, I love creating Gothics about forgotten rural landscapes inspired by my upbringing in north central Pennsylvania. I’m also interested in adapting classic works that inspire me such as Dante’s Divine Comedy, Watership Down, and We Have Always Lived in the Castle.

My favorite illustration subjects are bugs, cowboys, 60s mod, and punks. But I honestly love everything strange and retro. My fibers practice consists of soft sculpture, latch hook rugs, and doll making.  

When I’m not working, you can find me playing point-and-click adventure games, causing chaos in Dungeons and Dragons, and hunting for 80s new wave records at my local flea market.
