Background
Angela Guyton is engaged in a life-long exploration of humor, the novel, the poetic, and the absurd. Making art in the form of comics, drawings, paintings, and rad music videos has historically helped in this pursuit. Currently she is interested in how a narrative can be expressed in a single image, and in remaining vigilant for when her environment creates unlikely, magical images. She is trying to tune in.
She currently lives in the woods in Portugal, as a Colombian-American-British person with as many dogs as she can handle.
