Hey! I’m Al, and I use they/them pronouns. Nice to meet you! I’m a cartoonist and comic writer who bases primarily on slice-of-life LGBTQA+ stories and dabble in Ace Attorney, Pokemon, and Owl House fanart! I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember. All my life I’ve been drawn to the medium of animation and its ability to express emotions and create worlds not possible in real life. As someone who is introverted and a little awkward, I find it hard to articulate my feelings or express myself in the way I want to, and drawing has helped me capture those emotions that words sometimes can’t describe. I’m also fascinated with human relationships, romantic, familial, or platonic, and how they help someone grow and become a different person as they get older and grow wiser. 

I am a recent graduate from the Center for Cartoon Studies in White River Junction, Vermont. Since then, I’ve made several minicomics and zines, began running a webcomic series (Young, Dumb & Queer), and have sold my comics at conventions such as Small Press Expo. I’ve even been part of a panel on queer friendships and how they influence my comics! You can watch it here!
