Location: Urdaneta City, Pangasinan
Occupation: Full-Time illustrator
Media: Digital
Dream Projects: As an illustrator who enjoys making narrative-driven work, it’s been a long time dream to create and publish my own graphic novels–to have the chance to put eccentric stories from my colorful Ilocano-Bicolano background out to world.
Nicci Escario creates illustrations from her heart and home in Urdaneta City, Pangasinan. In the pursuit of celebrating her slow provincial roots, she dedicates herself to infusing tender emotion and local charm into her work. With sketchy, loose lines and warm, welcoming colors, she shares stories often overlooked by fleeting times. Nicci continuously explores a variety of media with her illustration practice, presently diving into comics and zine-making.

I still struggle with trusting the process when it comes to illustrating, so my favorite part is definitely when it's starting to fall into place because it gets my momentum going until it’s a finished piece I’m proud of.
