🦇💔 SDCC 2026 EXCLUSIVE 💔🦇 I’ve always loved the idea of a girl group called The Manananggalzz, after the Philippine mythological creature that splits itself in half in the night to hunt humans. It’s been on my dream project list to make a fake band shirt for the idea and I’m happy to finally bring it to life for SDCC this year. This one’s for all my Filipina girlies in San Diego. 💅🏽 (and also my playwriting class iykyk.)

3 color, double sided muscle shirt. Limited variant for SDCC. Artist alley table HH-24. I’ll have sizes from small to 2XL but very limited quantities of each. See ya there!

my sister has been reading the books and texting me about them, and I have the brainworms again.

For anyone interested, I set up a blog on my website last month (very millennial statement) where I’ll write about art process, residency experiences, conventions, and other fun art related things. I have a new post up there today walking through the process of drawing the 10 page Wonder Woman short we did for DC~ 🌟 Link here.

You can also check out my previous two entries on my art residency at VCCA and my trip to see The Art of Manga exhibit in SF. My hope is that these posts will be helpful to art students and anyone who’s a little curious about illustration or comics. It’s been really nice slowing down and writing things for the internet longer than caption length. I want to read more artist blogs!!!

DC’s Valentine’s Day anthology SUPERGIRL NEXT DOOR is out today, featuring a Wonder Woman story written by Sarah Kuhn, colored by Olivia Pecini, lettered by Travis Lanham, edited by Sabrina Futch, and drawn by me!! 🩵🌸 Some of the most fun I've had drawing comics in awhile~

art vs. artist 2025 edition. this year was really hard but thank you for hanging out, truly. 🙏🏽🩵🌸

I got to draw Wonder Woman with writer Sarah Kuhn and colorist Olivia Pecini for DC Comics SUPERGIRL NEXT DOOR 2026 Valentine’s Day anthology! We made a cute, fun, shoujo-inspired 10 page story about Diana on her day off and it just might be the prettiest thing I’ve ever drawn. ⭐️💖✨ We’re also joined by letterer Travis Lanham who absolutely nailed the vibe!

Huge thanks to editor Sabrina Futch for getting the band back together and shepherding the team through some of my favorite comic work ever! The anthology comes out on January 28, 2026 at your local comic book shop! 🩵

I got to draw this super fun poster for The Comics Courier issue 3 Kickstarter! Tiffany Babb put together a great showing of comics criticism. Check it out and back it at comicscourier.com!

(No, I won’t get tired of drawing chill scenes of people reading by a vinyl player with a beverage and animal. 🫶🏽🌸)

this is just a rough test draft from my home printer, but I drew these faux idol photocards to hand out gacha-style to Locked Tomb cosplayers for free (yes!) at NYCC this Saturday. I'll have them at my artist alley table (C-32) as a secret menu item, or at the fan meetup! 💀⚔️
