Artist, designer, graphic novelist. Author-illustrator of The Unbound Arcana. I collect too many oracle decks and have a soft spot for magic, mysticism, and my neighborhood cats. Journey with me as I make my pilgrimage into my arcane era.

Jay Stoneking is a queer, mixed-race visual artist and graphic novelist based out of Seattle, WA. Primarily self-taught, his creative practice spans traditional and digital mediums, design, and storytelling.

Raised a young girl in his immigrant, Vietnamese family, Jay draws from his complicated relationship between cultures and genders, exploring transformation, ascension, and transitional spaces in his work. He wanders the space between art and magic, using the physical ritual of creation to bind his expansive dreams into physical manifestations: artifacts, gates, and scrolls drawn to and from timeless, hallowed places.
