The suspense has been killing me! Some of you guessed that the artist for Pretty Little Dead Girls: A Graphic Novel of Murder and Whimsy is Orion Zangara. He is just such an astounding person and artist. He did the beautiful drawing in the front of the Crystal Lake version of PLDG. I have the original hanging on my wall.

Original art for PLDG by Orion Zangara!

I’m not kidding when I say that he is an absolutely phenomenal individual. Every interaction with him is a pleasure, and he’s so kind, organized, and talented! Oh my goodness. How did I ever become this lucky? He’s bringing these characters to life in such an incredible way. I genuinely had tears in my eyes when he sent me the first character sketches. Chad the Fish Guy? I’m in love. <3
