I had the pleasure of watching Angie Wang's disquieting meditation on creating art in exile/isolation at the 2022 Los Angeles Animation Festival (LAAF) this past December. I loved how the encroaching shadows harmonized with low, pulsating dread underneath Wang's immaculate illustrations and muted color palette.
Angie is a co-founder of Comic Arts Los Angeles, James Beard Award winner, and previously a prop/FX designer on Steven Universe. She teaches at the USC Roski School of Art and Design at the University of Southern California.
