Hello!

My name is Max Bare. I’m an illustrator and cartoonist living in Chicago.
The below examples are selected from published work from my clients and comics I’ve published myself.
I just finished EVER TRIP, my first Graphic Novel for Middle Grade Readers out Oct. 6 from Papercutz!

I am always looking for a new project.
Feel free to reach out for more samples or even a quick “hello!”

All examples below were illustrated, colored and lettered by Max Bare (that’s me!).
