Maddy Buck is a an artist and lawyer
who creates illustrated translations of tech, law, and all things complex.
I believe that communicating complex ideas or difficult concepts in a playful, visual way makes them easier to absorb.
Delight, humor, and joy have a place alongside our serious world, helping us to stay engaged and hopeful.
When the law is presented in simple, compelling ways, it is easier to see its impact on our lives and pinpoint what needs to be changed.
#LetsDrawLaw
Using comics, zines, and illustrated newsletters, I write about the Constitution, the rule of law, and how everyone can play a part in protecting our democracy.

Comics, Zines, and Kid-Oriented Activities
Zines! Comics! Mad libs! Coloring books! I love combining text and image to create joyful art.
to my newsletter!
You can draw, be creative, and take in the complex stuff (law, tech, parenting) while having a little fun.
A few times a month, this newsletter uses text and illustration to explain something in law, tech, or another part of our complicated world. Other weeks, the post will focus on drawing, creativity, or the value of making art.
