Before joining the Ink Factory team in October of 2021, Reilly graduated from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a focus on comics and illustration. His experience making decadently detailed drawings and concisely critical cartoons has made him a valuable asset and wonderful addition to the roster of Visual Notes artists at Ink Factory.

Reilly grew up in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, where he spent his time drawing, performing, and being much too loud for his peers- so not a lot has changed. When he’s not scribbling in his sketchbook, you might find Reilly exploring the city’s museums, perusing local comic book stores, or missing his train stop because he was too immersed in a podcast.
