“Whenever I have free time, I try to sketch as many ideas as possible. I usually need a few hours to complete an illustration. Anytime I can lift my head from my work and other responsibilities is the best time to draw comics, so I consider it a form of self-care. I guess you could say I've developed a small routine of sorts. I like to take my time, brew a cup of coffee, and put on some music to tune out the outside world and completely immerse myself in my work,” Adriana described her work process to us.

When asked about creative blocks, the artist says: “Creativity comes within and has deep roots in one's mind and emotions. I believe creativity is stifled when one loses touch with their inner self and becomes too preoccupied with the noise outside. When I'm stuck for ideas, I try to go in the directions I may have shielded away from and find a way to relate to what's happening there. That's how I usually find something that disturbs or excites me enough to put it on paper.”

We wondered whether it’s difficult to develop a unique style nowadays when there are so many great creators, to which Adriana replied: “Actually, I think it's the other way around because you have so many great resources and artists to draw inspiration from. However, no matter what, finding one's own style is difficult and perhaps a never-ending process. To do things differently, you must first blind yourself to your familiar ways - and you will probably dislike the result. You must learn to embrace the many disappointments you will experience before you write your own narrative.”

“Although I'm best known for my comics, I'm also an avid writer. I want to write comic books and novels - many of them if possible!” the creator talks about her future plans. “My goal is to see my works on the shelves of the bookstores in NYC. Currently, I am working on a few projects. Ultimately, I would love to see one of my stories adapted for cinema. That is my dream.”
