We chat late-night Greek style about her journey from fine arts/sculpture to full-time comics, self-publishing zines, breaking into American publishers via conventions and connections, and her love for traditional tools (brushes only—no digital!). Key highlights: -Early influences: Mike Mignola, Charles Burns, South American artists, and discovering obscure 70s/80s horror/erotic comics in Venice -Indie Greek scene: Huge, diverse, political/erotic vibes; Comicdom Con turning 20! -How she broke in: Zines at cons leading to 2000 AD, IDW, Coffin Bound with Dan Watters -Working on Batwoman #1 (Greg Rucka, DC Next Level – out March 2026!): Research, mood boards, Greek-inspired city, action-packed issues -Process: Heavy layouts/planning, 2-3 pages/day pencils, deadlines fuel her, weekends off for life -Fun side: Naps as creativity recharge, hating alarms, cats (every comic artist has them!) -Advice: Do the work first, make friends at cons, find your creative soulmate collaborator DaNi's Batwoman series redefines Kate Kane—don't miss it!
