late #portfolioday post scheduling shifted for me so i'm open for short-mid length projects! comics are my usual, but open to book covers + interior illo, and perchance some ttrpg/game illo! email: mandallinn@gmail.com literary agent rep: jen azantian @ azantian literary agency 🌟

all three book covers of the MAPMAKERS series from Random House Graphic by me and Cameron Chittock

excerpt from my comic in Knapsack Anthology Vol. 2 from Lucky Pocket Press

excerpt from my self published comic, Wind Tempos

Panel 1: Rowen's hand reaching down to the grass at his feet to pick up a palm-sized rock.

Panel 2: Rowen's other hand reading to a slingshot in a pouch at his waist.

Panel 3: Close up of Rowen's face, nose up, looking nervous and scared.
TEXT 1: Load, pull...
TEXT 2: and shoot...

Panel 4: Wide panel, full bleed, of Rowen cautiously stepping towards a trail of blood in front of him. We can see the full expanse of the forest around him, including broken down fencing.

Color comic-style illustration about sinigang.

A pot of fish sinigang is in the top left corner, the steam flowing out of the panel and down the composition in a very fluid motion.

Elements and ingredients of the are around the stream from the pot, surrounded by panels shaped like droplets with moments of memory: a mother's hug, holding hands with a first love, a sunset at a beach.

36 people have died at ICE's hands in the past year may of these deaths did not happen on camera, but it does not make them any less horrifying and unacceptable this is a list of their names, where they lived before being abducted, and a link to crowdfunding if i can find it

KOSA is back. This is the internet censorship bill! And it's not just coming for SWers, it'll be coming for all LGBTQ content, because the people in charge view LGBTQ people as inherently pornagraphic! We must push back even harder than we did last time we killed this bill 🔥

PRIDE TOMORROW, WAKE UP!!! Here's a comic from last year I wrote to myself about growing up queer in the midwest, 1/3 #art #comic

2-panel mixed media comic page of a violet blowing in the wind, text reads, Whenever pride month rolls around, I always want to write something about my own queer experience.

page 2 of comic showing a bird flying across 3 panels, text reads, "about harassment, disownment, or being closeted in the edges of the midwest."

page 3 of mixed media comic showing a bird's feed landing on a branch, text reads, "but the older I get, the less I care about even entertaining the idea of defining myself through someone else's scope— of violence"

page 4 of mixed media comic, 2 panel reveal of bird from previous page overlooking someone resting in the grass, text reads, "...or acceptance"

People keep talking about the comparison of quality between art and genAI content, and it ultimately doesn't matter, because it's about taking the means of production from labour and transferring it entirely to the control of the corporate elite. It's a dehumanization machine, & a danger to all.
