About

Southern born, west coast raised, Noah Hayes dabbled in aspirations of paleontology and geochemistry before realizing that he could make art instead, which was obviously the more sensible choice. Drawing on a childhood love of comics, he received his BFA in Illustration from Ringling College of Art and Design shortly after landing his first job with BOOM! Studios’ Goldie Vance. He currently works with Dark Horse on Critical Role’s Vox Machina: Origins IV.

In his spare time, Noah moonlights as a tabletop RPG player, video game enthusiast, fibrecraft amateur, and father to two large cats.

He’s been nominated for GLAAD’s Oustanding Comic award for his work on Goldie Vance and The Avant-Guards along with their teams in 2018 and 2020 respectively.

He has also been featured in various galleries and zines such as:
