Noah Thomson, Illustraator

I'm an MATC student and comic book artist. I began crafting my imaginative tales with my first comic book 13 years ago. Despite the ups and downs, I've discovered a deep passion for storytelling. I'm always jotting down ideas for my next story, bringing my love for movies, magic, monsters, and mayhem to life in comics and illustrations for the MATC Times.
