Lillian Ames is an illustrator and comics-maker from El Paso, Texas, now based in Portland, Oregon. A graduate of the University of New Mexico (BFA, 2011) and the Center for Cartoon Studies (MFA, 2014), she blends stargazing, music ephemera, and urban edges in character-driven stories. Her minicomics circulated at indie festivals across the Southwest before she began freelancing for magazines and teaching community workshops. Ames co-founded a small risograph imprint in 2018 and enjoys night walks, secondhand telescopes, and sketching at the planetarium.
