Career
Comic Book Girl 19 had been working as a tattoo artist for five years when she and Tyson Wheeler began producing YouTube videos in 2012.[5] She remained a full-time tattoo artist during the first year of the show, and quit to promote a 2013 Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign to finance the production of more episodes.[5] The campaign raised over $57K when it ended in May 2013.[6] The CBG19 videos are directed and edited by Tyson Wheeler, and the creative partnership is called "Team 19" or "Team 19 Productions".[4] She was featured on Gizmodo for winning "Best in Show" for her RoboCop costume at Dragon Con.[7] CBG19 has said her pseudonym is connected to the 19th card of the Major Arcana of the Tarot, which is The Sun.[8] Interviewed by HelloGiggles in 2014, Massey said that her use of the number is related to Stephen King's The Dark Tower.[9]
