According to her own bio: Paulina Ganucheau is a comic artist and illustrator based in Maryland. She graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design with a BFA in sequential art. She is the co-creator of Zodiac Starforce and Another Castle. Her hobbies include watching pro-wrestling, cloud photography and following cats on Instagram.
She is also a huge Poison Ivy fans and often shares her beautiful Poison Ivy art through her social media. Here are five (plus one) reasons we would love to see a Poison Ivy book by Paulina Ganucheau:
1. Her Poison Ivy art is stunningly beautiful. And she's not afraid to turn up the heat when it's needed. But she is also very respectful to the female form drawing Poison Ivy as a pretty much a curvy earth goddess.

2. Her Poison Ivy radiates happiness and optimism. A lot of artists try to draw Ivy in a sultry/dangerous style often with a lot of tense and dynamics. Paulina manages to portray a casual and sexy version of Pamela Isley through her art. her Ivy is relaxed and her sexiness shines without feeling forced.

3. Poison Ivy is a mysterious character, her appearances are criminally too few in comics. Paulina can express her flirty mysteriousness trough her superb use of facial expression. Like Mona Lisa, there's a certain allure to this Poison ivy art and the use of a plant growing through her body to hide her face adds to the film noir/femme fatale aesthetic of it.

4. She already has drawn a Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy story (and we want more of it). Paulina Ganucheau drew a small Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy story for Jody Houser's Mother Panic comic. It's a lovely and very emotional little story that will break your heart in a good way (no spoilers) and we definitely recommend checking it out. Be Gay - Do Crimes
I have a Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn backup short in this weeks issue of Mother Panic: Gotham A.D. #3 out on Wednesday! Written by @Jody_Houser art and colors by me! 🥀 pic.twitter.com/7SjpeQvAuS

5. Her Gotham City Sirens are pretty damn awesome too. I have a fever. And the only prescription is more Gotham City Sirens by Paulina Ganucheau. Pammy, Selina and Harls looking fabulous, and taking over Gotham. I need it, you need it, I hope it happens. A new Gotham City Sirens book is long overdue, DC give it to Paulina please.
Stock on the Gotham City Sirens set is dwindling! I don't think I'll be doing a reprint so get them while you can! https://t.co/8wA82GguJf pic.twitter.com/EkTadkGNLm

6. Paulina Ganucheau is a talented artist the deserves to be right there at the top of comics. From She-Ra to Xena, from Gumball to Ivy her art shines with optimism, love and care while being detailed, colorful with a neon bubliness and expressing a wide range of emotions. It's a dark time, we need more Paulina to shine her lovely light!!!
