Today I’m speaking with Liana Kangas, a freelance comic artist
and illustrator. We talk about her new comic, BlackOUT, her
graphic design equipment and process, and how she balances her art
career and personal life. Liana is a pro at diving headfirst
into new creative communities, as she’s lived in many cities over
the past few years!
