Hey #PortfolioDay ! ✨ I'm Lucia, London based comic artist & illustrator! I love creating comics with a strong emotional core and queer themes. Always happy to collaborate on interesting projects! 🦊 www.kitsuneart.net/comics 🦊 www.instagram.com/kitsuneart/ 💌 hellokitsuneart@gmail.com
comic page from a sci-fi retelling of Through the Looking-Glass. First panel is a bird eye view of a female presenting character with pink wavy hair, piercings and an undercut, dressed in dark blue clothes. The colour palette of the page (and the whole comic) is pink/blue. The character is extending their hand to touch a sci-fi looking portal/mirror. Second panel is a close up on the character's eye with caption "I will not fail...".

Comic page from a project titled "Change. Colour palette is orange, white and teal blue. First panel shows a guy's back, a cigarette on his left hand, his right hand scratching his neck. He's looking at the moon from a balcony filled with plants. Caption reads "it can't be helped...I guess it's true what they say...".
Second panel is a close up on the guy's smile as he's showing his fangs.

I am not joining this year, but because I’m managing the social media, I’m having the chance to preview everyone’s work. And so I can say, without self-interest: this anthology is worth getting your hands on! Lots of established and new talent, many being published in print for the first time.

This is my 2nd collaboration comic, this time with the wonderful @claudiamatosa.com I drafted this comic before the Benefits Bill passed but the message remains depressingly relevant. ‘Skivers vs strivers’ is back in the press and I just want to remind all disabled people, you are valuable.
A 7 panel comic in muted pastels and rich blues and burgundies. Panel 1 shows a dog and cat sleeping in a basket while a mouse sneaks past them. Text: “I love cats and dogs”
Panel 2 shows the cat in close-up, opening one eye to look at the mouse. The mouse is sweating nervously. 
Panel 3 shows the cat and dog back asleep in the basket and smiling. The mouse is sleeping on top of the dog. Text: ‘Regardless of whether or not they catch mice’
Panel 4 shows a newspaper in a paper rack. The headline reads ‘skivers vs strivers’, there are two subheadings reading ‘benefit cheats’ and ‘make Britain great again’. Text: “Yet we are told that disabled people need to work to be of value”Panel 5: A disabled woman in a dress wearing glasses is lying on a sofa looking drained. A walking stick is on the floor. Text: “But many of us are unable to work. No matter what rhetoric the government uses.”
Panel 6 has no images. Written in large white letters on a blue background it says “DISABLED PEOPLE ARE VALUABLE”
Panel 7 shows the dog, cat and mouse asleep together in the same basket again. They look happier than ever. There is a puddle of drool under the dog’s mouth. Text: “Our value does not depend on our ability to work.”

All 7 comics are watermarked @bookcoverdrawing and @claudiamatosa

Be amazing if £1.5m could be invested in the UK comics scene, wouldn’t it? Someone’d need to build a fully-costed, well-reasoned argument to DCMS for such a thing first, I guess… WELL, NOW. Come see what your friends at CCIC have done! www.thecomicsculturalimpactcollective.org/CCIC%20DCMS%...
