Mya Lixian Gosling
Hi there! My name is Mya Lixian Gosling and I'm the artist and author of Good Tickle Brain and Sketchy Beta, and the artist and co-author of Keep Calm and Muslim On. In a recent past life I was a library cataloger, but I'm now working full-time drawing stick figure comics, which is pretty cool when you stop to think about it.
My father introduced me to Shakespeare when I was eight or nine years old, and I've been addicted ever since. Initially it was just the classics, "Henry V" and "Hamlet" and "Twelfth Night" and so forth, but then I got really into the history cycles and now I'm hitting the hard stuff, like "Cymbeline."
In addition to Shakespeare, I also love geeking out about operetta, musical theatre, soccer, board games, languages, fantasy and historical fiction, and a number of other things.
When not drawing comics, I can be found climbing at my local climbing gym. I'm primarily an indoor climber, due to living in a fairly flat state, but I'm hoping to get outdoors more often.
As you can probably tell, I'm really not much of an artist. However, a lack of talent has never stopped anyone on the internet before.
Good Tickle Brain, my "main" comic, is the world's foremost (and possibly only) stick-figure Shakespeare webcomic. It was created in 2013 and updates every Tuesday and Thursday.
