Veronica Johnson

Veronica Johnson is an illustrator and comic book artist from New Jersey who has turned her love of the mid-century aesthetic, vintage fashion and mystery novels into a lucrative illustration career. Veronica works in primarily digital mediums to provide a glimpse of the past using tools of the present, and is very much inspired by golden age comic book artists such as Matt Baker, Reed Crandall, and Alexander Raymond, and various mid-century designs and advertisements. As a transgender woman, she has done several projects involving LGBTQ history and wants her work to be a reflection of the past rooted in a modern perspective. Veronica is also interested in covering substance abuse and labor rights in her work, as these are topics that deeply concern her. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Montclair State University in 2019, and has worked with a number of independent fashion brands, advertising agencies, musicians, and social media influencers. Her clients include Reddit, The Los Angeles Times, R.E.M. Beauty, and Rebel Girls. Veronica's dream project is to work on a mystery comic series.
