Sebastian Bonet
NYC-based illustrator, comic creator, podcaster, and UX Designer
Sebastian Bonet is the kind of creator that reminds you why self-taught artists are some of the most exciting voices in comics today. Based in New York City, he’s built his entire career through sheer determination and hustle—no formal training, no big publisher backing, just raw talent and an unstoppable work ethic. This guy does it all: illustration, comics, podcasting, video editing, and UX design. If there’s a creative medium, he’s probably tried it.
And speaking of comics? That’s where things get really interesting.
The Comics
His debut self-published comic Dead Planet kicked everything off—a bold first statement from an artist just finding his voice. But if you want to see Sebastian’s world at full throttle, you need to dive into the We Suck at Comics anthologies.
Konkrete Kombat (We Suck at Comics Volume 1) is a brutal exploration of betrayal and rejection—think gritty combat, hard choices, and zero apologies. It’s the kind of story that grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go.
Then there’s Dragon Runners (We Suck at Comics Volume 2), which serves as a prequel and takes you into a post-apocalyptic world where treasure hunters fight for survival against all odds. If you love action with real stakes and a dash of fantasy wildness, this one’s for you.
Sebastian’s art style pulls from that raw, street-level energy of NYC—bold lines, intense expressions, and a gritty aesthetic that makes every panel hit hard. His characters feel lived-in, his worlds feel dangerous, and his commitment to telling the stories he wants to tell is absolutely inspiring.
Perfect for fans of post-apocalyptic action, gritty dystopian worlds, and creators who build their own lane in comics.
