About Me
Hi! My name is Rebecca Good (née McConnell). I am a freelance illustrator and Pulitzer Prize winning comic book colorist based in Milwaukee, WI. I have been freelancing since 2013, and I specialize in illustrating for tabletop games, sequential art, and in comic book coloring. In my career I've worked with clients across many fields, notably, HarperCollins, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Image Comics and Insider.com. Creating mood and narrative through color is my passion and my specialty. As a tabletop game illustrator I love to tell a a silly and whimsical narrative that would make me smile if I saw it in a board game I was playing. When I'm not drawing or coloring, I enjoy petting my cat Vivian, and spending time watching cartoons with my husband Tom.
