Next up, the Great Sorceress, keeper of magical mysteries and bearer of tremendous magical abilities... And her little apprentice. Will Chiqui ever be able to measure up to her grandmother? Maybe one day. First things first though, she's got to keep working on that transformation spell.

Bárbara calls it like she sees it, which can make her come across a bit harsh. Alba, on the other hand, usually keeps to herself, but can be very persistent about rules.

Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.

Gonna start posting some characters from my book. First up, Consuelo and Maigualida, the Witches of the Cloud Forest and the High Seas! Each one inspired by a different Venezuelan region (the Andes, and the Lake Maracaibo and La Guajira).

I've MANY feelings about the state of trad publishing for comics, most of which are angsty & fill me w/ dread. So I'll just say: If you read a book you loved, tell the creator! Tell your friends! Tell the internet! Tell your local library! Buy a copy!
We need to hear that what we created matters.
We need to hear that what we created matters.
Something I wasn’t prepared for is how much *audacity* it takes to be an author—or even an artist—in publishing. You gotta be ready to pitch yourself to anyone at any time, arrange & set up your own events, build your own hype, all while burying your insecurities. It’s a shockingly extroverted job.
