Overview

Step into the worlds of Wren McDonald.

It’s an intriguing mix of sci-fi grit and Saturday-morning charm. His crisp line work, flat colour and softly textured backdrops nod to vintage comics while feeling sharp and fresh.

Every scene is alive with detail and personality. Offbeat characters and scrappy worlds sit alongside humour and warmth, so even the dystopia feels inviting rather than bleak.

His voice feels distinct and they are creative worlds only he could build. Lovely work.
