Hello,

My name is Ray and I am an illustrator from Indonesia. I’ve been posting my art online for about 7 years. I’ve always loved reading webcomics and I find the medium to be a very interesting way to convey a story, so I started making my own webcomics! My most recent comic project, Boyfriends, has accumulated around 200,000+ subscribers in just less than a year.
