Romey Petite is an illustrator for Antigravity magazine, an MFA graduate of the Center for Cartoon Studies, and a board member of the Neutral Ground Coffee House nonprofit. He is currently working on a book about the Tarot and a graphic novel called Comicorpse. Romey lived in North Carolina for a while, but originally hails from New Orleans. He has published a fairy tale called Spiderella, about a girl who speaks with spiders, and it is still his favorite book. He also co-founded a clown punk band known as The Frozen Charlottes. Sometimes, he'll get dressed up to read poetry and brief tales while playing a fictional dead author for attention. He enjoys a little good whimsy. The living author can be found washing dishes or making coffee, but dreams of teaching comics as literature full-time. IG: @romeypetite
