Holly
Mongi is an amazing artist who’s work I originally saw at the first NYCC Anime
Show over 5 years ago. I was immediately impressed by the beautiful watercolor technique
Holly used on her art. I’ve never been an artist who was able to grasp
watercolors very well. I’m just not good at it. But when you see Holly’s work,
she makes it look so easy! Her work stood out from everyone else’s at the show.
It also helps that Holly has an animation background and her character drawings
are so fluid and full of movement. I can’t say enough great things about Holly
or her work! Over the years, I’ve been lucky to get some excellent commissions
from her in my sketchbook. That’s why, when we began working on the second
SENTINELS Anthology, I made sure to get her involved!
Holly
drew Electro-Cute’s story in the Anthology and found a very creative work to
work a lot into just one page. The story is touching in a way I didn’t expect
and Holly’s sensitive art style makes it all the more special. Written by Todd
Latoski, Electro-Cute’s story is another great example of what two creators can
do when they collaborate so well!
Did
I mention how insanely busy Holly is?
Not only does she work as a lead animator at an educational video game
company, but she also has her own graphic novel, Aviary, that she is working
on! I love the story so far and hope people check it out at www.aviarycomic.com . But the biggest
project Holly has right now is as a proud new Mom to a beautiful baby!
