Meet the Artist
Here, have a coffee ☕️ or tea 🍵
Hi, I’m Destiny Slater, a Deaf comic artist from Pittsburgh, PA. With a Bachelor’s in Media Arts & Animation from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh, I’ve built my career as a freelance artist, creating a space where I can freely explore the stories and themes that matter to me.
My work ranges from comics, animation, illustrations, and character design, often featuring Deaf protagonists and including ASL from my lived experience. I really enjoy working across a variety of genres, from high-speed action and fantasy to easy slice-of-life and supernatural. My projects often focus on topics close to my heart, such as Deafhood, femininity, mental health, bisexuality, and the everyday moments that make life unique and profoundly beautiful. I also care about issues like medical rights, environmentalism, and accessibility, and I actively stand against unethical AI use and censorship in the creative industry.
When I’m not working on my next project, you can find me spending time with my three geckos and my cat or exploring the food scene in Pittsburgh. One of my personal favorites is Maiku Vietnamese Pho, it’s definitely worth checking out as it holds a lot of heartfelt memories.
Destiny Slater welcomes freelance art projects and collaborations!

How to support the artist
Sometimes, I take on too much and end up feeling burnt out, especially with those quarter-life crises creeping in. Between paying bills, rent, subscriptions, and making sure my scaly babies (and myself) are well taken care of, it all adds up. On top of that, there’s the cost of art supplies to keep creating the work you enjoy. We all have our expenses, and every small gesture of support helps me stay grounded and continue making art. So, thank you for taking the time to check out this page! Your support helps me keep making more of the cool stuff you love.
