Branson Reese lives and draws in Brooklyn, NY. He started making Hell Was Full shortly after the 2016 election as a way to process all the weirdness and despair hanging over everything through a comic lens. The self-described "illegally handsome" cartoonist's work quickly found a large and passionate audience online after one of his comics "One Fear" was turned into a viral meme ("One Fear/No Fear") and another of his comics "The Person Who Discovered Sharks" sparked a massive Twitter event that still attracts fans to this day. He has written for We Bare Bears on Cartoon Network. His work has been featured in BuzzFeed, Paste, and Splitsider. Recent successes include being told to "delete this" by hundreds of teens after posting a drawing of Kelsey Grammer as Frieza from Dragonball Z.
