Aindri C (she/they/সে)

Hi, I’m Aindri

I’m a narrative illustrator-animator currently based in Edinburgh. I use different forms of self printing from things I forage and grow. I am inspired by early naturalists, migrant gardens, and the motto: “Catch, print, eat!”

I keep a public archive of my textures that is free to download and play!
