ABOUT ME

Hello! My name is Chela, and I draw comics. I created this website to be the central hub for hosting all of my artwork, since I did not want to rely on external social media platforms to host my stuff for me. This site will be the home of absolutely everything you need to stay up-to-date on my works. Here, you’ll find a continuously growing archive of digital illustrations and comics, as well as some general information about my characters.

I strongly believe in the ideals of the web 1.0 revival, and I encourage all artists to host their works on websites created and run by themselves. Art has value, and as such, posting art on a social media platform creates value for that platform. My question, why should I create value for someone else’s platform when I could be creating value for my own, instead? Perhaps it’s a similar principle that draws me to comics. Comics is an artform that allows a single person to tell a complete story on their own. No need to wait for anyone else's permission!

My plan going forward is to host my works on this website so that anyone can access them for free. However, if you like what I do and want to help fund it, I would greatly appreciate a tip via ko-fi! A little bit goes a long way. ♥
