On self-promotion

The demons are back! 😈✨

I’m really enjoying how this is turning into a series…a really slow one, where I draw an average of one comic per year, but a series nonetheless. It gives me a lot of time to let ideas simmer before I commit to them—I must have written about 10 different variation of the text on this, until I found one that clicked.

Thirty-two

/ Art & Comics / ,


I’ve been thinking of doing some kind of yearly self-portrait for a while now, mostly inspired by illustrator Rebecca Green. I just really like the idea of having some kind of register of where you are at a certain time, both in terms of your own work and your perception of yourself.

But then I had this feeling that seems to be common among comics people: making an illustration that is not a comic is so hard! It took me a while to figure this out, even though it sounds really obvious—I’m a cartoonist! Of course my self-portrait has to be a comic! And so, as I turned thirty-two in October 2024, I started writing this. The layout/script didn’t really come together until January, and then… I just slowly, slowly chipped away at it until it was finished, closer to my 33rd birthday than to my previous one.

It’s funny to look at myself back in October, thinking I was going to do ✨ all of these things ✨ after the book was finished, without knowing that it would take me ten months just to finish this 4-page comic. Partly because a lot of things have happened, but also because the post-book burnout hit harder than I expected it to. But, it’s finished now! And I can feel myself slowly coming back to comics, which is a big relief.

Hopefully the next comic in this series won’t take me so long to make! We’ll see how that goes.

A NEW book and a NEW cover!

Two years later, I am able to redeem myself… 😤 (I’m probably the only one who noticed this)

THE DO-OVER: FRIENDSHIP GOALS is our newest middle-grade graphic novel, out October 14! This one’s more centered on Zoe, as she tries to balance her time and energy between the new True Colors Style Club and the school’s soccer team. If it sounds similar to my own life, that’s because it is!!

This is another joint effort from me and Rodrigo—we worked on the plot together but he did most of the writing, and then I did most of the drawing, with Rodrigo doing the backgrounds and color flats. This time we went more loose and wacky than in the first book, throwing lots of little gags that made us laugh, so we hope it puts a smile on people’s faces!
