Alisha Lucia Davidson – Miss Read

Alisha Lucia Davidson

My name is Alisha Lucia Davidson and I'm a queer artist and illustrator currently based in London, UK. My work is bold and empowering, focusing on themes of gender, the body and mental health. I've created zines on many subjects ranging from an addiction to WebMD to EMDR therapy to a fear of sleepovers. I primarily create publications using Risograph printing with an attention to craft and hand binding.
