ABOUT THE BOOK

Drawn to Love is an autobiographical comic collection by Tish Nicholas, the artist behind @tish.draws — a Filipina illustrator and storyteller who left her hometown in Manila to start anew in New York.

Across over four years of comics, Drawn to Love follows one artist’s journey of rediscovering her creative spark, learning self-love, and embracing the beauty of everyday life.

It’s about the quiet moments that change us:
✨ the challenges of starting over
🌆 the rollercoaster of falling in love
🌿 the endless self-discovery of city life

Each page is a reflection of hope, humor, and heart — a reminder that love comes in many forms: love for others, love for your craft, and love for yourself.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Hi, I’m Tish, a comic artist, illustrator, and former advertising creative from Manila, now based in Queens, New York.

Through @tish.draws, I share honest, funny, and sometimes bittersweet stories about everyday life, creativity, and love.

My hope is that Drawn to Love inspires others to reconnect with what makes them feel alive — to draw, to create, to express, and to love again.
