Pizzaface is the sobriquet of Kristina Arwood, an illustrator and graphic designer from Evansville, Indiana.
I’m Kristina. I love to doodle. I’m one of those kids who has been drawing since I could hold a pencil and art class was ALWAYS my favorite. I work primarily digitally these days but still love working with colored pencils and Posca markers.
I’m an avid fan of horror and science fiction, vintage ads, and old movies… Pop culture is my passion! I make pop art to connect with others and share that passion.
I chose the name "pizzaface" because it sounds a bit... gross. I like gross. I also chose the name because it's a term for someone with bad acne - helping me embrace my own struggle with bad skin. I'm taking it back!
Since 2017, I have been traveling part-time to comic and horror conventions, participating in gallery shows, and selling my merch online to folks around the world. Dream come true! Follow me online to keep up with my work @artbypizzaface on Instagram and Twitter.
