My name is Mariela Camacho and I am a Kawaii Chicana artist and designer.

We have our own cast of characters that are canonically plushies that come to life that are featured on our designs.

Loteria Collection
Being first gen Mexican-American and growing up watching Spanish dubbed anime like DBZ I wanted to make some designs that incorporate anime and Mexican Culture. Loteria, which is a Mexican bingo game is super popular and others who grew up playing the same game love seeing it at cons to represent our culture!
Collection of Basura Gang items. All items pictured are of our Mexican inspired Mascots, many of which have names in Spanish! I love incorporating aspects of Mexican heritage into my art! I love sharing these designs with people in person because it shows that anyone can be kawaii and fills a void of Chicano art in the kawaii-art community.
