Cori Pagaling is a 2016 graduate of the School of Visual Arts in New York City. He majored in Cartooning with a Bachelor’s Degree of Fine Arts.

Cori enjoys both traditional and digital elements when creating art, and finds both to have their own benefits. As a queer indigenous person, he also aims to include a diverse range of characters, as well as address issues that are personal to him.

Originally from a rural town in California, Cori sought to broaden his horizons with a drastic move to New York City, enjoying the sense of community the city had as a whole. Some time after the excitement of college, he began to realize what appreciation he had for his home in California and found his way back.

He has artistic interests in dark fantasy, outer space, and cosplay. In his spare time, he often draws fan art of his favourite characters.
