Andrea Pearson is a comics artist from Chicago. For fun Andrea likes to read and draw comics, hang out with friends, and watch movies. She also likes long walks on the beach, sunsets and kittens.
Andrea has had comics published in the Birdcage Bottom Books anthology "Too Tough To Die", the Graham Cracker Comics Ladies Night anthology "Sisters" as well as several Northside Comic Artist's anthologies including "Misadventure", "Memories", "Hallowzine" and "Hallowzine 2". She has also self published nine zines in her autobiographical "No Pants Revolution" series. The "No Pants Revolution" series has been honored by The Chicago Reader being nominated twice for Chicago's best zine. In her spare time, Andrea has also started Aquatic Panda Distro, a comic and art zine distro whose goal is to help uplift the voices of cartoonists of color. She has edited and published several anthologies including "The Revenge of Hallowzine" and "It Came From Hallowzine" both of which feature the art and comics from over 30 Chicago area cartoonists. For over 5 years she has hosted a monthly drawing meetup in Chicago, where she also organizes a bimonthly rotating art gallery for the brewery in which it is held. In 2026 Andrea founded Zine Club Kenosha, a collaborative zine making meetup.
