About the Erihii Nyamor

Erihii Nyamor has been drawing since he was a child. Inspired by cartoons, comics, and manga art, he decided early on to pursue a career as an illustrator. This pursuit led him to study graphic design at Central Michigan University, where he earned his bachelor of applied arts degree. Since then, he has designed numerous illustrations for children’s books, album covers, comic strips, and more. He is also the author and illustrator of the children’s book I Can Draw.

Originally from Grand Rapids, Michigan, Nyamor currently resides in Nashville, where he is working on his latest project, a comic series titled Yas x Yen. Issue I of this series is set to be released later this year.
