Our Paths *100% of the donations go to ACLU*

Hi everyone! This year, I participated in AIGA DC’s SHINE mentorship program and I got to create something I’ve always wanted to make.

This is Our Paths, a 24-page risograph zine, where I interviewed four creative women who are immigrants in the US. I also illustrated their portraits.

As an immigrant myself, I believe that we are an influential group of people in this country, and our skills and ideas are worth sharing. They are needed now more than ever.

That’s why I’ve chosen to sell this zine through my online Etsy store and donating 100% of the sales to the ACLU. This organization has proven itself to be a champion of immigrant rights in the last couple of years and I want to support their efforts with my art.

Please consider donating by purchasing this zine!

Hi, friends! It’s been a while! I’m working hard on several projects right now but here’s a comic I drew for The Lily last month.

[mayyalpha]

I recently worked with the Food Recovery Network and made this cover for their 2018 Annual Report. Check it out here!

It’s my first risograph! And it’s beautiful :) I drew the illustration back in September but I came across the Danish concept hygge in December and the work turned out to be very inspired by this concept.

Debuting this weekend at PMS II, at Baltimore’s Metro Gallery!

The second half of this year was amazing. I got to work on awesome projects and I made lots of personal art. I want 2019 to be just like that. For my dear followers, as well! С НОВЫМ ГОДОМ! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I can finally publish my four-page autobiographical comic for Dirty Diamonds #9: Being! It deals with a very visceral existential moment that I had back in college.

Also, I created this comic almost entirely in Procreate on my iPad. So believe the hype!

My first illustration for NPR! About #teachersofinstagram!

Also, in light of recent events regarding this site, I’d like to remind everyone on here that I’m on Instagram and Twitter as well! Be sure to give me a follow, if this whole thing gets canned! I’ll still be posting :) Thanks!

For inktober, I’ve been drawing a lot of fanart and posting it on a separate blog. But I couldn’t let October pass without drawing a bit of OTGW!

A lot of things happened in October for me and I’ve allowed myself to just draw what makes me happy. I’m hoping I can post new content that I’ve worked on this past year soon before the year is over. It’s almost November already... yikes.

A recent piece I made, based on one of my favorite summer pastimes, driving with the windows down and blasting music.

It’s been getting cold and rainy lately and evenings have me feeling so cozy! This is also practice for inktober I guess haha

A comic series about burnout. It’s something I’ve experienced a lot in the past few years, mostly because my priorities are always changing at the moment. It’s hard to get used to concrete things in my life and to not feel like abandoning everything and starting fresh. It’s a cycle and I’m learning how to handle it every time.

I’ve been working on a comic for the next issue of @dirtydiamondscomic and I’m almost done! Here are some progress shots! There will be a kickstarter for this in mid-July so be sure to check it out! I’m very excited!
