Reimena Yee is an illustrator, author and designer of the strange and fancy

What I do:

I make heartfelt, beautiful graphic novels for kids and adults. I illustrate and design in a whimsically poppy, gothic style with an elegant touch. I have a passion for anything related to the book arts, history and decorative detail.

Published by Random House Graphic.

Alexander the Great is seated cross-legged and holds his right palm out for his horse Bucephalus\'s snout. Bucephalus is all black stallion with reptilian blue eyes and a white star on his forehead, with a red rug on his back and gold accessories around his neck and rump. Alexander wears a gold oak-and-myrtle wreath, leather armour over an off-white elbow-length-sleeved chiton, and midcalf high sandals. The background is contained within a diamond shape: it depicts a pink sky and a full moon, seen through the trunks and narrow leaves of trees bearing golden fruit.

Alexander, The Servant & The Water of Life

A webcomic/graphic novel about the life, legends and legacy of Alexander the Great. Suddenly afraid of death, Alexander goes on a quest for the Water of Life with his most trustworthy servant, and gets more than he bargained for. The 21st century iteration of the Alexander Romance.
