Description
In this episode, I chat with Mexican & Salvadorian American illustrator Iliana Galvez. Iliana is a Latinx illustrator born and raised in the San Fernando Valley who creates bright, bold, and unapologetic art celebrating people of all sizes. Her work is extremely empowering and unapologetic and she really creates work that uplifts black and brown femmes. Keep on listening to hear us chat about Iliana's complicated family dynamic, how she decided to quit her career as a nurse aide to be an artist, struggling with imposter syndrome, and her routine to stay creative, especially during the winter season.EPISODE LINKS- Watch this Episode on Youtube (Premiering at 5pm ET)- Support [Draws in Spanish] on Patreon- Host: Follow Fabiola on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok- Guest: Follow Iliana on Instagram, visit her website, join her patreon

03: Gay Chicanx Collage Artist, Ruby Marquez | @Broobs: Welcome to this week’s episode of Draws in Spanish where I chat with queer Chicanx collage artist, Ruby Marquez aka @Broobs on Instagram. Ruby and I get existential about what it “means to be Latinx,” the risks associated with making Selena fan art, using art as a coping strategy, and how Ruby processes the pressure to be perfect on social media. Ruby also divulges how they go about collecting source material for their collection, moving into music production, and why connecting with your culture is so much more than tracing your bloodline. Join me on this week’s episode to learn more about Ruby’s complex story as a queer Mexican-American artist. by Draws in Spanish | Conversations with Latinx Visual Artists and Designers
