Geoff (sounds like “Jeff”) and Ashlee Wagner are a husband-wife, illustrator-writer duo, who earned their BS and MS degrees in Meteorology at Florida State University, where they started their happily ever after together. 

​

Geoff began making art and mini-comics the moment he could hold a pencil! For his day job, he works for NOAA’s National Weather Service (NWS). His art was featured on NWS’ social media, as prizes in multiple Games Done Quick charity marathons, donated to the Superhero Project, and bid on in a couple silent auctions. Every Thursday, Geoff streams live digital drawing on Twitch.

 

Ashlee worked for a renewable energy company before retiring to raise little humans and teach. At University, Ashlee worked with educational outreach programs to spread the importance of science education. 

​

Geoff and Ashlee work with a talented group of creative friends to make Core Toons, short-form comics with educational nuggets, posted on Substack. They are also working with Kids Comics Unite to create its first kids’ comics anthology.

 

When Geoff and Ashlee aren’t busy creating, you can find them enjoying Disney World, taking wind measurements in approaching tropical storms, homeschooling their kids, joining D&D campaigns, and scouring the graphic novel shelves at their local library. They are active members of Kids Comics Unite / Studio, SCBWI, and critique groups.

What's the deal with WagWorksGA?

When deciding on a domain name, we wanted to use our names, but we both have unusually spelled names. If someone spelled Ashlee correctly, they may spell Geoff as "Jeff," and that wouldn't work!  Or if they got Geoff right, they might spell Ashley with a "y," which also wouldn't work. So, we mashed up our last name, Wagner, with "Works" as in art-works, because we love alliteration.  The G and the A stand for Geoff and Ashlee.  And there it is:  WagWorksGA.com !
