I’m Angela, an author and illustrator who likes to do a bit of everything, including books, comics, and editorial. I’m currently working on THE TRAVELER’S GUIDE TO GEOZOOLOGY, a graphic novel about a girl traveling across a landscape made of giant animals (see above) in search of her missing grandmother.

🏔️Delighted to finally share the cover for LU AND REN’S GUIDE TO GEOZOOLOGY! I can’t wait to take you on an adventure through Lirrin to meet its people and its giant geofauna! 

Design & lettering: Kathy Lam

Art direction: Joel Tippie & Celeste Knudsen

Lu dreams of being a great adventurer, just like her ah-ma, who is a world-renowned geozoologist. Ah-ma has traveled far and wide, researching unique animals like dreamy cloud-jellies, enormous sunfish, and playful mossgoats. There’s nothing Lu loves more than reading Ah-ma’s letters about her quests, even if she and her mom struggle to understand the Cylian language Ah-ma writes in.

But when Ah-ma’s letters suddenly stop, Lu becomes worried. So when a nearby town needs a geozoologist, Lu decides to go on the journey to find Ah-ma. She charts a course with the help of Ren, an old friend turned new travel buddy.

As they follow in Ah-ma’s footsteps, Lu begins to discover the complex relationships between geofauna—and between people. What stories has Ah-ma never told her? And what’s Ren hiding from her?

LU AND REN’S GUIDE TO GEOZOOLOGY comes out May 27, 2025. Preorders are now open!

Been chomping at the bit to do the cover reveal for my upcoming middle grade graphic novel, LU AND REN’S GUIDE TO GEOZOOLOGY. Tomorrow’s the day we release it into the wild!

I’ll be at SPX next weekend! Come by table E14A to say hi. I’ll have samples of LU & REN’S GUIDE TO GEOZOOLOGY, copies of ANTARCTICA: THE MELTING CONTINENT, stickers, comics, and more! Scintillating conversation will be attempted but not guaranteed.

Here it is: all the artwork for the interiors of THE TRAVELER’S GUIDE TO GEOZOOLOGY. Two years of work from thumbnails to finished art. Three years if you add the writing. Four or more if you count the planning. From here, a few more weeks for cover, edits, and extras. Home stretch, babey!

Nothing like 26 lbs of mystery turkey to round off 2023.

(The chicken soup was delicious.)

Housekeeping re: online stores & merch

I'm deleting my Society6 and sticking with INPRNT (if you want quality prints) and Redbubble (if you want mugs with potoos on them). For the most part, I'll focus on selling comics/zines/prints/etc. when I table at in-person events that I'll announce when they're coming up.

Thank you for your support!

I'll be tabling at Philly Zine Fest this coming Saturday, Dec 2, 10am-5pm. I'll have mini zines (including a physical version of The Hole in the Wall), slightly larger zines, my mini comic Ghost in the Shellfish, and limited edition linocut prints. DC Zinefest was such a blast and I'm really looking forward to this one too!

I only just got around to taking photos of my piece from the beautiful Beginnings&Endings mythology anthology organized and printed by Ipsy Bipsy Studio! I did a take on the Chinese creation story Nüwa Mends the Heavens.
