Welcome :)I'm Nahee Lee, a Korean-Canadian comic and storyboard artist from Ontario. You might know me for my silly animatics on YouTube or my comedy-adventure webcomic, Rags and Rascals. I share most of my work under the online name, StudioLepta.At my core, I want to tell stories of hope, joy, and good ol' chaotic adventure... because you're never too old for that. Triple bonus points if musical sequences are involved. I'm here to create good stuff for Jesus' glory and maybe (...hopefully) make you laugh!

This pilot explored an earlier draft of the current Rags and Rascals story through the eyes of a supporting character.Synopsis: What lies outside Aurega's Walls? Twelve-year-old Jasper Belrose wouldn't know. After living his whole life in the callous routine of the capital city, Jasper's room is rudely broken into by two thievish brothers from the outside world. But they're his chance to escape.
