The ghost of an Illustrator
About
Hiya, I'm Aya! (they/them) I'm a nonbinary filipino illustrator from the UK with a bachelors in Comic and Concept Art, graduated from Leeds Art University.I have extensive experience in working with clients for commissioned art and with creating page art and merchandise for fanzine projects, so you can rely on my ability to communicate and work on deadlines.I've recently had the opportunity to sell merchandise of my art at a convention and am currently working on creating a series of zines and comics!I've been struggling to keep a consistent online presence as I navigate through ways to tackle my creative burn out. Hoping to fix that soon and post more art! <3
