"Shoes for the modern faerie - and styling for small acts of resistance" My first zine! Printed in risograph with flat gold and lime green. It's about shoes and small acts of resistance ☺️💖 #zine #illustration #selfpublished #risograph #printmaking #fashion

This is all you need to know about me tbh:

Do I have a perfectly good desk to draw at? Yes. Will I instead stay on the couch hunched over my iPad like a shrimp and then complain that my back hurts later? Also yes.

The unmedicated ADHD part of me reeeeally hates making art under a deadline. I've kind of always known that about myself but haven't wanted to admit it because literally all of my goals involve making art under a deadline... 😮‍💨 Helppp

I've been using a pomodoro timer which has helped a little bit with the overwhelm of big tasks! Hope you feel better soon ❤️‍🩹

Hi! I'm Monica, an artist/illustrator in Portland Oregon 💖 I primarily work in watercolor but lately I've been exploring digital work for risograph printing! I'm currently working on a zine about shoes and community care (pics coming soon!) ✨

Well the vibe here so far is really nice but I can't lie, the thought of trying to build up yet another social media presence is stressing me out a lil' bit 😅
