AboutConnie Hernandez (he/him/his) is a cartoonist and community organizer from Chicago, IL.
Seeing comics as an opportunity for radical reimagination of the state of the world, Connie likes to make playful, poignant stories that center empathy and intentional conflict resolution between characters and their environments. Drawing from his personal relationships between family and friends, as well as his political experience organizing in Chicago, Connie uses cartooning to explore the emotional boundaries that fracture communities, using joy as a tool to empower people to unite with their loved ones against capitalism, colonial imperialism, and white supremacy. His current projects are middle grade graphic novels, such as his background illustrations in Johnnie Christmas' Swim Team, and Connie's own upcoming debut graphic novel. His dream projects are range from silly middle grade books to weird adult fiction, comedy, and horror. Connie is represented by Linda Camacho of Gallt & Zacker.
