Lucy Bellwood is a professional Adventure Cartoonist based in Portland, Oregon. Her comics projects have covered a range of expeditions, including rafting trips through the Grand Canyon, cutting-edge oceanography in the Pacific, and an expedition aboard the last wooden whaling ship in the world. She is the author and illustrator of Baggywrinkles: a Lubber’s Guide to Life at Sea, an educational, autobiographical account of the worlds of modern and historical tall ship sailing, drawn from her time working aboard 18th-century replica tall ships. Her second graphic novel, 100 Demon Dialogues, explores the relationship between creators and their imposter syndrome through a series of relatable conversations with her inner critic. Lucy contributes comics journalism work on climate change, gender, and history to The Nib and all-ages fantasy stories to Cartozia Tales. She also speaks extensively about the realities of making a living as a full-time artist through essays, conference talks, and podcast appearances.
