Biography
Step into the colorful world of Austin Drake, a talented female comic artist whose work breathes life into the nostalgia of vintage romance comics and the vibrant pop culture of the 50s-70s. With a delicate touch and an eye for detail, Austin weaves narratives that celebrate humor, empowerment, and the enduring spirit of classic romance. Her characters come to life against backdrops that echo the timeless settings of vintage ballads and the crackling vinyl of record players.
Austin has exhibited her work at different comic and art conventions around the US and has had the opportunity to work with clients such as Miss Lauryn Hill, LaLa Romero, and Beach Bunny music. Her latest achievement is illustrating the book covers for the Rebel Blue Ranch series written by Lyla Sage and published by Penguin Random House.
As she continues to evolve as an artist, Austin is excited to explore new storytelling avenues while staying true to the vintage romance that fuels her creative spirit.
