Erika Schnatz is a doodler and designer who lives in Portland, Oregon, with her husband and the cutest (and least well-behaved) dog in the world. By day, she works at Image Comics as a production artist. In her free time she creates comics and illustrations. Every March, she runs a tournament of cuteness called Cute K.O.: 16 characters go head-to-head until a champion is crowned at the end of the month. It's fun. The Cute K.O. universe expands each year as new characters are added to the competition.
Erika’s work is created with a mix of traditional and digital tools; she tends to do most drawing and linework with pencils and pens before scanning a piece to be colored in Photoshop. Recently, she has experimented with Risograph printing and paint markers. She likes making things that are colorful, humorous, and a little weird.
