Been an artist for over 30 years, painting science fiction, people, and commentary in a painterly way. Some say its grotesque, others that its cool. I think beauty is a broader and more nuanced word if we allow it to be.
I am Rey MEGAS (Meh-Gus)! An illustrator, comic artist, and writer; heavily inspired by the manga/comic style! I've been drawing since childhood (influenced by The Boondocks and Dragon Ball), but become serious about my craft in 2020, during the pandemic. I graduated from an art high school in Philadelphia and began taking some courses online in 2023; however, the majority of my improvement came from independent study, repetition, and practice. I am producing my first mini-comic "Almost 30," soon to be published, and you can see what other things I am working on within my Instagram account. Stay tuned!

I am also known as Delilah Blueness. I am an artist that chops off the hairs of negativity and I like to end peoples blueness with my artwork. I like to make people smile make them feel encouraged and also heal them through my artwork if possible I will call my style expressive art for the mind of free thinkers with a surrealistic I don’t like realism much in my genre and if I do use realism, I like to add funk. I am an artist that likes to create with anything I can put my hands on, but I prefer acrylics because the paint dries quickly and I’m very confident with my strokes.
