Hi there I am Mili,

I am a self-taught comic artist and animator, from Portland, ME. :) I am deeply passionate about exploring human creativity, learning, and community building.

I am currently working on a new mini comic And Up, They Sprung, which you can now pre-order here, and will be releasing at Skunk Cabbage Books in Chicago May 1! I am also drawing new chapters for my Pocket Space series: The Edge of Autumn and regular episodes of my comic strip Frog & Mili.

In 2025, I was very lucky to be awarded the CAKE Chicago Cupcake Award for emerging artists and volume 1 of my series The Edge of Autumn was nominated for an Ignatz Award in Promising New Talent!

In 2024, I joined forces with some amazing creators to help organize Comic Arts Maine Portland, a new one-day comic arts festival taking place at the Portland Public Library in April of every year, we just finished our inaugural show and we are excited!

If I were a ghost I would haunt an early 2000s electronic.

**I also hold a professional tattoo license. If you are here looking to book a tattoo appointment, I am currently on hiatus due to workload, thank you for understanding <3**
