Inés Estrada creates graphic narratives through comics and drawings,
exploring themes of nature, intimacy and dreams. Through her practice
she seeks to observe and question the illusion of reality and its infinite
layers. She currently lives in Mexico City, were she is originally from.
She started making zines in 2006 and has self-published two book collections of her short comics: Ojitos Borrosos (2012) and Impatience (2016). She also authored two science-fiction graphic novels: Lapsos (C’est Bon Kultur, Sweden, 2014) and Alienation (Fantagraphics, USA, 2019). All of these s are currently sold out and out of print. Alienation: Final Cut a new, bigger and better edition of Alienation that features deleted material and new pages, was co-published in 2025 by Floating World Comics (USA), Ediciones Hungría & GATOSHOP (Mexico).
Other projects she has taken part in were: as a co-organizer of Zin Amigos (2012), the first festival in Mexico City focused on graphic and narrative zines; as the editor of Tebeo Tropical, the comics column of Vice Mexico (2010-2015); and also as the co-editor and designer of the only compilation on the graphics and history of Mexican zines, Fanzinología Mexicana 1985 - 2015, published by El Museo Universitario del Chopo in Mexico City. She currently works full time running the GATOSHOP (founded by her in 2013 originally as Gatosaurio), an online shop through which she produces her own designs, collaborates with other artists and distributes comics, stickers and other cool trinkets from Mexico and the world.
