I’m Van Binfa, a freelance illustrator, writer, editor, transcription specialist, and advocate.

 

I have worked as a freelance illustrator and writer for the past ten years. I specialize in cartoons, zines, and webcomics. I work almost exclusively in watercolors. My work ranges from the humorous to the profound, inspired by self-reflection and a commitment to personal growth. In 2012, I worked as the resident cartoonist at xQsi, a trans/queer multimedia online magazine. I created a series of webcomics dedicated to telling my experience as a trans Latinx at the start of their transition. 

​

My work in the past ten years reflects my core values: authenticity, integrity, and compassion. It is my firm belief that individuals thrive while working together, connected and committed to positive change.

​

When I'm not working on a variety of projects, I enjoy listening to jazz and history podcasts. I'm an avid reader, an ardent nature enthusiast, and always on the hunt for a good cake recipe to try.
