Hello! I’m Coni, a comic artist and Astronomy MSc (U. de Chile 2018) based in Santiago, Chile. My first middle-grade graphic novel with Rodrigo Vargas, The Do-Over, just came out from HarperAlley/Clarion Books! I’m currently working on the sequel to The Do-Over, which should be out in 2025.
I’ve previously done work for Dark Horse Comics (Steven Universe coloring book, Team Avatar Tales) and independent comic anthologies like Cautionary Fables and Fairy Tales and Sweaty Palms Vol. I. My webcomic Postcards in Braille got self-published via Kickstarter in 2018.
When I’m not making comics, I work doing science outreach at Planetario USACH.
