About
Phillip Reed, also known as Mage1X or Crooked Pastor, is a multi-talented individual who is dedicated to living with integrity and making a positive impact on others. He wears many hats as an artist, author, credit specialist, producer, rapper, songwriter, and public speaker. His wide range of creative skills includes making tabletop role-playing game maps, drawing portraits and comic-cartoon style artwork, creating acrylic paintings, and crafting clothing and toys through crochet.
