I'm Mari Gonzalez Curia (AKA MariLimmy), a Comics Creator and Illustrator, born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Combining vulnerable, heartwarming storytelling with a vibrant, expressive art style, I stive to make my work an invitation to explore real emotion within a fantastical realm. Some of my favorite themes relate to fear, resilience, and mental health. My goal is to create stories that resonate, inspire or simply brighten someone's day.
I studied Graphic Design at the University of Buenos Aires, learned about Comics and Perspective from Bande dessinée artist Walther Taborda and continue to develop my Digital Painting and Visual Storytelling skills under the mentorship of Chris Oatley at The Magic Box Academy, where I am also currently working as Production Coordinator for the podcast You're A Better Artist Than You Think.
My first short comic, The Shadow, was published in Argentina by Purple Books in 2017. A self-published English version was also sold in Calgary, Canada, where I lived from 2020 to late 2022.
In my free time, I like practicing yoga, playing D&D, and learning about psychology and nature.
Currently looking for agent representation for my first original graphic novel and open to freelance opportunities in comics, graphic novels and games.
