Hey there!

You might’ve noticed I haven’t been getting much done on the website—sorry about that. Life’s been busy. But I can’t leave it blank, so here’s a quick rundown.

I’m Brandon Marquette Williams. I swapped “Marcus” for “Marquette” after the small town in Kansas where my grandparents had a farm—very special to me and incredibly formative. I draw a lot of animals.

From 2002 to 2014, I lived in Alaska—great job, amazing people, unforgettable stories. So much so that I’ll be making a comic about those years. Oh, and dinosaurs.

Got sidetracked.

I have two kids, met my wife in Vegas, started OCA around then, ended up in Chicago. Then COVID hit. I went blind from cataracts and landed in Gary, Indiana.

Then, MrBeast saw my GoFundMe, proving that crowdfunding is just “medical care roulette.” But hey, I can see again!

Then I had a seizure. That led to another long couple of years.

Turns out, when you mix seizure medication, depression medication, losing a car, and a brutal custody battle (where no one wins), you lose a lot of weight.

Wouldn’t recommend it, but hey—100 lbs down, and I look great. 😏

Now, I’m 41, expecting my third child in July, and a Senior at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. (Oh yeah—I also landed a full-ride scholarship.)

Things are looking up. This summer’s going to be huge for my art, and I can’t wait to see what’s next.

Alright, back to creating now.
