Morgenstern, aka Morgen Weinstein (he/they), is a multidisciplinary artist, writer, poet, and designer from Southern California.

He earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Anthropology/Archaeology from Barnard College in 2020, graduating magna cum laude with departmental honors. He went on to earn his MFA in Graphic Design from Boston University in 2023.

Morgen’s work focuses on themes of mortality, history, family dynamics, hauntings, and transformations. They have received acclaim for their lucid and penetrating authorship on transgender, Jewish-American, and neurodivergent identity.

Their inspirations range from Edward Gorey, Craig Thompson, and Em Carroll to J.R.R. Tolkien, Will Eisner, Anne Carson, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Moebius (Jean Giraud), and Alison Bechdel.

Morgen’s passion is in creating “rich and strange” worlds of mystery, horror, and exquisite beauty, in which to set extraordinary human stories.

Morgenstern is the creator of Malicious Compliance, an upcoming sci-fi graphic novel based on Greek mythology. He is represented by Bailey Tamayo at Sanford J. Greenburger Associates.
