Corey OBE Coleman

About

I am Corey “OBE” Coleman — creator and innovator of the legendary comic series Shaolin Moorz.

What began as a vision in 2015 has evolved into a fully realized  creative universe. From the ground up, I built a team and cultivated  this project into the powerful visual experience you see today. Shaolin  Moorz is more than a comic — it is a movement dedicated to cultured,  ethnic graphic novels that blend diverse traditions with a modern,  anime-inspired edge.

Born and raised in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, I grew up wanting to see characters in anime who looked like me — heroes that reflected my culture and identity. At a time when diversity in the genre was limited,  I knew representation mattered.

During my early college years, I lost my sense of direction. Through  trial, error, and deep self-reflection, every road led me back to my  first love: art. As I reconnected with my African and Indigenous roots  and deepened my spiritual understanding, I experienced a vivid creative  vision — a world that would later become Shaolin Moorz.

This journey has shaped me through lessons, failures, growth, and evolution. It taught me what it means to live authentically and create  from a place of balance and purpose.

Through my work, I aim to inspire others to look within, uncover  their unique layers, and reclaim their power. The world needs more authenticity — and each of us carries untapped potential waiting to be  expressed.

Shaolin Moorz exists to restore balance through storytelling, culture, wisdom, and art.

Grateful to share this gift with you.
