Christy Lijewski

Christy Lijewski is an American comic book artist and illustrator from Baltimore, Maryland who specializes in OEL manga. She operates on the internet under the pen name and-babel-fell.Christy Lijewski attended Savannah College of Art and Design for their Sequential Art program. Her big break was Tokyopop's Rising Stars of Manga contest, in which her entry "Doors" placed runner up. Although this meant that the Lijewski did not win the guaranteed contract with Tokyopop, it did bring her work into the public. Doors was also the genesis of Lijewski's series Next Exit, which Slave Labor Graphics began to publish in 2004. Next Exit is an expanded version of the story in "Doors", the two even sharing the main characters Retrab and Markesh. She was then one of a few runner up artists to enter a deal publishing with Tokyopop, and has written RE:Play as an entirely new series for release. (Wikipedia)
