JayToon is a graphic artist and illustrator who specializes in manga and comics drawings—areas of illustration and graphic arts that have limited or non-existent representations of black people. Jay creates many of his own characters and often race-bends mainstream comic book figures, like Dr. Strange, Harley Quinn, and Poison Ivy. Check out his sweet illustrations down below and on Instagram and Deviant Art.
