Ann Xu is a cartoonist and illustrator from the quiet suburbs of San Jose, California, currently studying illustration in Baltimore at the Maryland Institute College of Art. Her comics have been published as self-published minis and in anthologies, most recently “After the Dust Settles” in Power & Magic, coming out January 2017. She likes to think about and draw nostalgic things; her comics are filled with themes of childhood, heritage, home, and relationships. In her free time, she eats too many hot Cheetos and drinks too much milk tea.
