"Ello there,

I'm Maxi, a professional cartoonist and graphic designer. I have a BA in Graphic Design from CSU Dominguez Hills and an MFA in Comics from California College of the Arts. I create comics for online and print, as well as plus-size positivity art. I attend comic cons like San Diego, WonderCon, LA, Long Beach, Rose City, and Heroes Con. I also have experience in speaking on panels related to art and comics. The one I'm most involved in is an art panel where my colleagues and I live draw cosplayers in cool poses while also answering art-related questions.

I also run my own art business, which I manage with the help of my partner, and I have a successful TikTok account where I post animatics and videos. I am proficient with various art software and can provide tutoring in digital art, as well as traditional art tools. Whether you're interested in learning the basics of digital or traditional art, feel free to get in touch with me!

A few quirky little things about me, I am a huge geek/nerd; which is why I went as far as to get an MFA in Comics because I wanted to be a master geek. I love comics but will pick up a good novel once in a while (I've read and finished "The Priory of the Orange Tree"). I also enjoy movies and will go to a movie theater and experience the whole movie thing because I want to! I will once in a while do fan art but I prefer doing my own thing. I will play on my Nintendo Switch whenever I need some downtime; my favorite game series of all time is "The Legend of Zelda" and I'm currently playing "A Link to the Past" because I never got to play it...and if you're wondering, yes, I played and finished both "Breath of the Wild" and "Tears of the Kingdom."

-Hope to hear form you!
