I am Cat! I am a Korean-American, primarily self-taught cartoonist, writer, and artist based in Philadelphia! My art leans towards the autobiographical, and I draw a lot of inspiration from cartoonists like Andrew MacLean and Caroline Cash along with Japanese anime, manga, and snack packaging at H-Mart.
