Ana Galvañ

Due to her participation in the Full of Pryde fundraiser for Oregon Hemophilia Treatment Center, I came across Ana Galvañ's work. Her concepts are fun and her muted palettes are great.

Check out her blog here- it'll make you wish you were fluent in Spanish. I'd love to be able to read her Manet homage comic.

In the tradition of 2000AD, 6 full color pages are released weekly. Every 144 pages, Avatar Press collects and prints a trade.
