We had a really great reception at our panel at Pixelatl, an animation festival in Guadalajara, Mexico, last week. Incredibly thankful to the participants and everyone else who were crazy enough to hear us talk.
Also, someone finally did one of those "draw the speaker" thing for me 🙏

SILENCED VOICES is out now!! Took some years to make, but been carrying this story for a while. I wanted to talk about this dark period in history in Guatemala, the role of the U.S., the tales of survivors and the multi generational fallout, as well as how we confront the silences of the past.
