In the art world, there are creators who defy conventions, challenge perceptions, and breathe life into their visions. Today, we shine a spotlight on the remarkable artists that helped to bring TJBS’s vision to life of a diverse, theme based BL manga subscription platform to life!
Jamie Sebzda
Jamie identifies as a queer nonbinary illustrator, designer, and tattoo artist living and working out of a suburb of Philadelphia. Jamie isn’t merely an artist; he’s a creative alchemist. His work transcends the boundaries of traditional art forms, forging new paths in the world of creativity. Jamie works on a variety of personal projects ranging from visual development, children's book illustration, narrative work and illustrating my D&D characters. With an unparalleled ability to blend genres and mediums, their art is a testament to the boundless possibilities of imagination. Reoccurring themes within his work include nature, fantasy, folklore, queer expression, trans identity, witchcraft, cozy settings, and general silliness. Jamie enjoys working in pen and ink, Photoshop, watercolor, and gouache. In my spare time, he enjoys propagating his houseplants, baking, roller skating, picking up new hobbies, listening to podcasts, playing board games, building things, and avoiding doing dishes.

Coey & Shy
Inspiration comes to Coey & Shy in many forms – a fleeting thought, a whispered breeze, or the colors of the setting sun. But perhaps the greatest inspiration is the connection they forge with their audience.
