Merlin Strivelli

I am a comic book and superhero portrait artist with autism living in Western North Carolina. I attend Open Hearts Art Center, a supportive studio and gallery for adults facing intellectual and developmental difficulties, where staff assists me with my Comic Book Merlin business. I have created several comic book series and work regularly as a superhero portrait artist.

I am also a member of Autistics United and the Autism Society of NC. I have eleven tattoos of my own artwork. I love punk rock, especially Flogging Molly. I love the Uncanny X-Men, especially Gambit. And I love hanging out with my friends, doing karaoke, going bowling, and making art.

I create a unique super identity for each of my customers, referencing your individual traits and interests, and based on your reference photos. I can include pets, sidekicks, and even villains, at your request! If you would like to be a superhero too, click the button to learn more or send me a message!
