Mai Ly Degnan Illustratrion
Hello! My name is Mai Ly Degnan and I am a freelance illustrator who is about to move to Baltimore for MICA's MFA Illustration Practice Program. I am obsessed with patterns, ink, and collage. A lot of my work focuses on making light of unfortunate events. I enjoy juxtaposing serious subject matter with children's-book-like illustrations. This pairing of opposites often comes across as quirky and offbeat, which is exactly my aesthetic.
This blog is compiled mostly of my illustrations and other things l like. Probably just a bunch of drawings, pugs, and John Waters.

Here’s a comic I did for a friend for her writing about comics class. (I love comics, but this is definitely my first attempt at one.) The story is about a little girl who’s mother lies to her about her dead pet bunny. When the girl goes to school, the mom goes to buy and new one and makes up a story explaining that the reason why the bunny isn’t brown anymore was because it was dirty. Apparently the girl believes this till college. It may be a bit confusing because it got a little cramped because we wanted to have the panels in picture frames to show past and present, and the format had to be a certain size and on one page, but over all I’m still happy with it.
