Then I was featured in a Latin artist showcase called Artisferio! I finished a 20 page comic mostly in a week for it that I'm very proud of ! This comic is a prequel to #Untitledno89 that I'll post soon!
A small comic with a cover that looks like a missing poster is displayed on a pedestal, with a piece framed above it showing a sheet ghost and panels within it Three frames are displayed showing original comic pages from a new comic

I toned my first set of Thirteen Houses pages so I could pitch them and hopefully bring a sampler to a zinefest (printing went very badly so it did not come with me at the end lol). Going to get back into drawing more soon!
Page framed by dogs looking into the panels. Top two panels show a man sleeping on a mattress in an empty room being woken up by barking. The bottom panels shows him feeding some stray dogs. Text says: "the house was strangely surrounded by a pack of dogs which Jedediah took a shine to, imagining one might become the family pet one day."

Josie laughs as she runs through the rain, holding her purse over her head. She's trapped in a missing poster again, all the text is blacked out except for the date she was last seen: 6/2

There's a dark blue background with the raindrops over them. There's a shot of the tree line and sky showing the rain falling. Josie looks shocked as people call her name as she looks at the crying Llorona that looks back. "I dreamt of her every night for the past week. We're in the forest and it's raining. People are calling my name but I can't leave to find them and they can't find me. Only la llorona can, and she weeps because I'm not who she's looking for." The shrouded ghost looks at her own missing poster and falls to her knees. Josie: even when I wake I can still feel her despair through my dread. What a horrible fate." A black background with a large crying shrouded over it. The three panels of Ovidio and Josie talking are on top of it. Josie: would you look for me if I couldn't be found? Ovidio: what do you mean? Josie: if I was missing? Ovidio: don't say that. Josie: no, but really. Ovidio: of course, I would. For the rest of my life. Black and white panels of Josie walking at night and it starts to rain. She smiles.

Collage of paintings of Josie and a shrouded ghost, cut and put together in a checkerboard fashion. Below there's collaged text that says "find me!" Two panels of Ovidio and Josie drawing under a blanket, lighting their space with a flashlight in a cup. Ovidio: I don't know what I'm gonna submit for the show. I haven't even chosen a myth. Josie: I'm thinking of doing La Llorona. Ovidio: yeah? Josie: why not? Ovidio: no reason I guess, why that one? Josie: I was doing research and... I don't know. She calls to me. Every version of her story is a little different, but they all have a couple repeated pieces:" A collaged background depicting woods and the ocean with raindrops over it. A panel in the top left with a woman smiling and the bottom right with a woman crying. Layered shrouded ghosts shift into a crouched, crying figure. "It always starts with some type of love, followed by an immense loss, an ocean of grief. And then there's the blame. Was she responsible for what happened to her? Did she precipitate her own fate? Is it her own fault she's now doomed to wander looking for what's lost?" Ovidio and Josie look at each other in the dark. At the bottom, Josie is depicted sleeping at the bottom with a bonnet on and an explosion of collar collaged off of her. Ovidio: what has your llorona lost? Josie: ...I don't know yet. It'll come to me, somehow. She visits me in my dreams."

CW: Misogynistic victim blaming
A panel of Ovidio crying, a jagged red text bubble showing them cry out "Josie!" Three panels showing an old lady, two students, and a man talking about Josie. "Quédate estudiosa, y ojo-- para que no terminas como esa muchachita." "Did you hear about Josie?" "Are you surprised? I heard she was sleeping around a lot." "Le paso por estar de perra." Ovidio talking about Josie: "her favorite season is spring. She loves old cumbia. She loves the water: the ocean, the rivers, the rain, everything. Her favorite artist of all time is Juliana Ochoa Nueves. She loved her work. She drinks an absurd amount of tea. I have to believe we can find her, because that's what she'd believe if it was me." Juliana Ochoa Nueves: mi futuro es mi hija, y cada día la voy criando. Me enseñó a ser una persona mejor, a tener más habilidades, a hablar mejor, a cocinar mejor, a bailar mejor, a hacer arte mejor, a vivir mejor. Mi trabajo principal, antes de cualquier otro, es ser la mejor mamá que pueda para la Juliana del futuro. Cuando se me va una oportunidad o tengo que tomar decisiones que cambian mi vida, siento duelo por todos los futuros que se han cerrado a mi, porque esas son hijas mortinatas. Y al mismo tiempo, lamento la pérdida de las versiones de mi del pasado, porque son mamás ques murieron dando luz a la mujer que soy hoy. Mi cuerpo nace y muere solo una vez, pero yo sigo en ciclo constante de nacimiento, cambio, y muerte, de luto, aprendizaje, y felicidad."

I made this comic for Latin arts showcase called Artisferio and finished 18 of the pages in 4 days (😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫) 2/6
A collage of wiki pages and articles describing la Llorona. In the meantime she escapes her picture and walks off page. "la llorona (the crying woman, the weeping woman, the wailer) is a vengeful ghost in Hispanic American folklore who is said to roam near bodies of water mourning [blacked out text] she drowned [blacked out text] whoever heard her crying either suffers misfortune or death and their life becomes unsuccessful in every field. Origins: the origins of the legend are uncertain, dice la tradición que existió una mujer atractiva y voraz, que atraía a los hombres de pueblo en pueblo con encanto y tentación. Una vez [blacked out text] murió [blacked out text]. Ella [blacked out text] siguió vagando [blacked out text]. Los campesinos escuchan su llanto lleno de alma traidora que nunca pudo superar la muerte [blacked out text]. La llorona es una mujer de pelo largo negro graso, de ojos rojizos como candelillas, y rostro cadavérico. En sus largos brazos acuna a [blacked out text] muerte y vaga por los ríos y selvas. La llorona is a legendary figure with various incarnations. Usually translated into English as "the wailing woman", she is often presented as a banshee-type: an apparition of a woman dressed in white, often found by lakes or rivers, sometimes at crossroads who cries. She is often described as a lost soul, doomed to wander the earth forever. To some she is a boogeywoman, used by parents to scare children into good behavior. Just as a source will tell us more about the author than the subject, we can glean a lot about a storyteller's point of view when examining the development of this particular legend. It is strange that such a pervasive myth could have such different features but still be known by the same name. We can clearly see that many elements of La Llorona change over time." A shrouded ghost collaged out of tule looks into the water and sees her living reflection reaching back A blurry missing poster, with Josie's eyes blurred out saying: MISSING? DO YOU KNOW HER? Her name? Her hair? When you last saw her? What you last said to her? ¿Sus ojos? ¿Sus deseos? ¿Donde esta? 3 panels, depicting Josie's mother crying, a vigil of candles and flowers in front of her picture, and a search party where someone calls Josie's full first name Josefina. Her mother cries: mi hija... Devuelvemela! Por favor! Mi hija!"

I'll probably be on here again soon (tomorrow is my birthday so I'll be posting art :3) but that's a nice little recap of my favorite chaotic last few weeks. I hope you're all doing well!
