Hi, I'm voxie, a Digital & Traditional Artist specialising in a vibrant, edgy, East-meets-West comic book style. Welcome to my website!
My real name is Rhoda Villegas (pron. row-duh vee-ehh-gahs). I'm based in SE London, UK. 'voxie' has been my screen name since 1999 (Dreamcast Chat), eventually becoming a nickname in niche social circles (London Anime Club), then eventually my artist pseudonym. I've been drawing since I was a toddler, identify as queer (she/her) and was born & raised in London. My parents are from the beautiful archipelagic country, Philippines, Southeast Asia.
I've been a freelance artist & designer for almost 15 years. I graduated with a BA Honours in Digital Art & Digital Animation (Thames Valley University) in 2006. After that, I began freelancing part-time as an Illustrator & Graphic Designer while working various jobs, gaining a background in mostly Marketing and Retail Design. I earned a PGCert in Illustration (University of Hertfordshire) in 2019. Later that year, I was offered redundancy at my graphic designer job. I accepted and decided to become a full-time freelance illustrator in 2020, this time focusing more on comics and animation.
Apart from drawing, I enjoy gaming & XR (extended reality), live music (jazz, blues, punk rock), Lotus Biscoff mini icecreams, snorkelling and jogging!
