Tyler Chris Daniels
About Tyler
Tyler-Christian Daniels is a comic creator, author, public speaker, and creative consultant representing Southwest Florida. With a background in ecology and evolutionary biology and a master's track in global sustainability, he sees stories through a lens most creators never touch. He's the founder of I'm Striped Media and the mind behind the CLAWMARK Universe and Tock. A regular presence on the convention circuit, Ty brings energy to every panel, workshop, and conversation. He's always looking to connect, whether that means networking with fellow creators, consulting on your next project, or chopping it up about the craft over a con floor handshake.
Vision
I'm Striped Media was built to bring diverse voices and untold stories to the forefront of independent publishing. The ideas that come out of Tyler's mind don't look like what's already on the shelf, and that's the point. From CLAWMARK's gargoyle mythology rooted in Florida to Tock's unique world, every project pushes representation forward while refusing to compromise on originality. Beyond the comics, Tyler continues to challenge and sharpen the creative skills of writers and independent creators through his Breaking Creative Barriers book series, including Writer's Block: Priming Your Creative Engine and The Character Workshop, both designed to enhance craft, push past creative roadblocks, and rethink how creators approach storytelling from the ground up. The mission is simple: create what doesn't exist yet, and help other creators do the same.
