Hey there, I'm Vicky!!!
I'm a type 1 diabetic illustrator and cartoonist originally from the Jersey Shore. My illustrations and comics use gestural and emotive linework, often with a touch of fantastical elements. :)
I'm currently a staff illustrator at G/O Media and formally a staff illustrator at Mashable.
I live in Brooklyn with my partner, two cats (Pierogi and Spider-Man) and our dog Demolition Turbo Time (It's a family name).
In addition to illustrations and poster work, I also do freelance animation, storyboarding and coloring.
I am available for freelance work and I'd love to hear from you!
