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. When I’m not creating branding material and illustration for breweries or interactive products, I’m developing comics accessible to younger audiences.

All examples below were illustrated, colored and lettered by Max Bare, unless otherwise noted.
