Levi Hoffmeier
Concept Artist, Illustrator, and Comic Author
Los Angeles, United States

Summary

Levi Hoffmeier's work can be seen in the new Halo Encyclopedia out from Dark Horse, Halo: Evolutions from Tor, numerous Shadowrun sourcebooks, comics, books, children's literature, magazines, posters, and more. He also designed and illustrated in-house for the Kansas City Public Library and Cinder Block Brewery.

Levi's early webcomic, Halo: Fistful of Arrows, made an impact on the Halo fan community by filling in the gaps of the story of Halo: Reach, to the point where even Microsoft has hinted at its possible canonicity. He went on to create an ongoing science-fiction graphic novel entitled Mayflower, which he self-publishes.

In 2020 and 2021, Levi handled the art for Kansas City's Summer Reading campaign, helping to pioneer outreach for youth literacy amidst the pandemic. For the new Kansas City International Airport that opened in 2023, Levi illustrated a children's book showcasing the potential future for underprivileged youth. Now he turns back to his first love, comics, with the retro-manga ReMaster Monk!

When not art-ing, Levi is likely sunbathing with The Clash blaring in his ears, dreaming of a Ferris Bueller-style life.
