Creator & Role Information

Brigitte Ugarte

Brooklyn born & Valencia based artist. I am majoring in fine arts at CalArts. I am a painter by trade, and my work has now expanded to film, installation, and graphic design. Aside from my main practice, I write poetry and short stories. I started A Female On The Internet in response to my Tinder matches. In my bio, I wrote about myself as though I were the star of a movie. My matches kept jokingly asking "Where's the movie?" and "Is it available on Netflix?". One day I decided let's give the people what they want. From that day on, A Female On The Internet was born. Instead of a movie, I gave a comic. The comic is based on my personal life as a New York native out of place in Southern California. It became a way to visually illustrate my displacement and all the wackiness that goes down at CalArts. College is a strange time for everyone especially in our current environment.
