Nelson Evergreen
Nelson Evergreen was prominent among the early Jenny Everywhere Barbelith artists, having illustrated three of the earliest completed Jenny stories, COMIC: Name's Not Down, COMIC: The Late Shift and COMIC: Damn Fine Hostile Takeover.
He also drew COMIC: Late Night Queuing and COMIC: Damienne Hobbs Reflects, short comics in which Jenny made background appearances. In this same period he drew the now partially lost COMIC: Six Strings, although whether Jenny made any cameos is unrecorded.
Later he contributed "filler art" to COMIC: When Casting Calls and did occasional other Jenny drawings.
He and Joe Macaré discussed their early work in a 2023 interview with Aristide Twain.
His bio on the original Jenny Everywhere website read:
Nelson Evergreen is a budding artist, writer and occasional musician who works and sleeps in a languid little terraced house at the top of a hill in Brighton UK. Aside from his ongoing Shifter collaboration with Mr Macaré, his own self-penned comic projects are slowly approaching pitchable/publishable shape, and he continues to seek financial gratification in the areas of illustration and videogame design. He is posterlord for Brighton music promoters The Gilded Palace of Sin, has recently had work published by Yorke Notes and Sybex, and enjoys writing about himself in the third person far, far too much. |

The shorter biography attached to COMIC: The Late Shift instead read:
Nelson Evergreen is almost entirely fictional. With his myriad musical and artistic skills, Nelson is too talented to live but too cute to die. Nelson lives in the sunny town of Brighton. Visit his website at www.nelson-evergreen.com. |
