A little bit about:
Hey guys! I’m Liana, a small town Florida girl who, thanks to a recent stint of moving too much and fueled by music & black coffee, is finally branching into my lifetime passion of comics and drawing. I've been expat for three years and traveled to two countries and multiple states. Developing a career as a freelance artist came naturally with so much travel, and it allowed me to meet tons of creative friends online and in person which inspired me to take a leap into trying comics.

I’ve been a lifelong fan of comics, worked in comic shops on and off for about a decade and have a mountain of long boxes sitting in my house. On top of my knowledge of comics, my old day job helped me develop a knack for marketing and recruiting. My combination of nerdom and professionalism may just be the perfect formula for an unstoppable comics making force of nature.

Why Patreon?
I’d love to combine my two skillsets of comics/art and marketing/networking in an organic fashion in hopes to pursue a career in comics and further promote my art! My first steps toward reaching that goal are where you come in! I want to share my comics and art and make new friends with those who’d love to read them!

Your Contributions:
The money you contribute will not only help me continue to freelance full-time, but will also go toward supporting:
- Creating personal art and comics
- Having a spot in an artist alley at conventions
- Creating new products, and
- Self Publishing my first comic!

So wait, Patreon is what exactly?
Whoops! In case you haven't already watched this video on how the Patreon platform works, I can give you a few tidbits to help you better understand it: For one, by signing up and contributing/pledging to artists, you are agreeing to donate a monthly amount of your choosing. By clicking on a particular monthly donation, you will receive rewards of your choosing! There are no contracts with Patreon, so if you are unable to donate or need to change your donation amount, you can at any time.

What is BlackOUT?
BlackOUT is the comic that I am currently working on with my bff/old roommate from college, Jamez Kelske. Gab Contreras sometimes colors our work! You can find previews of BlackOUT here on my patron posts and on my Twitter!
