Ciao! Nice to meet you!
I'm Ale Crystal, real name Alessandra.
I am 26 years old, I have 2 graphics tablets, 2 cats and I spin like a beyblade between Ivrea, Turin and Vercelli (Italy).
I love drawing so much, I had the crazy idea of doing it as a profession and, let's say, it's slowly working!
I really enjoy playing on the PC, singing, and eating all the Chinese food.
My illustrations are very often fan-art, my comics are about weird situations and my animations take eons before they are published.
But don't worry... at least I'm funny!

One, two, three... GO!
The world of comics has been a great companion in my life.
Since 2020 I have delved into this world, collaborating with
Essere Umani Onlus, Rizzoli Education and Anonima Fumetti.

Two big projects
Two projects completed within two years of each other, linked by the initial story of the pandemic and the quarantine in 2020 and the subsequent freedom after imprisonment.
