We recently had the chance to connect with Malia Good and have shared our conversation below.
Good morning Malia , it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? What are you being called to do now, that you may have been afraid of before?
If I could be “called” to something, I think it would be this: showing up as a creative. Not just as an artist, but as a curator of joy, nostalgia, and connection.
I’m stepping into a space where my voice, my brand, and my community-building instincts are front and center. That can feel scary—especially when you’re asking people to invest in your vision and be a part of the journey.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Malia Good is a Houston-based comic artist, illustrator, and creative entrepreneur whose work bursts with color, nostalgia, and heart. Known for her expressive character designs and masterful use of acrylic markers, watercolor, and pen, Malia blends pop culture and storytelling into every piece she creates.
She’s started PS Good Art shortly after college & is the founder of Post in Color in 2025, a joyful snail mail club that shares vibrant art and themed illustrations across the globe. Whether it’s stickers, postcards, or hand-crafted prints, each item is designed to spark connection and celebrate expressive storytelling. Her brand is more than just beautiful visuals—it’s a movement to build community through creativity.
Malia’s also growing a colorful presence on Patreon, where fans can dive deeper into her world, support her work, and help shape the club’s evolving identity. With an October launch on the horizon, she’s crafting stickers, postcards, and bookmarks that reflect her playful yet intentional style.
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
My 2nd grade art teacher. She used to put my art from her class into competitions when I didn’t want to be in them. She always came back with awards & ribbons I won, but as a kid I saw art as a something I was just simple good at, but I didn’t care to be known for art as a kid.
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
Yes. Last year I was apprenticing to be a tattoo artist. I got into a car accident coming into the new year which altered my path of finishing my apprenticeship.
It was such a challenge finding the right apprenticeship & although the journey was a challenge, I hate I didn’t finish.
However, as I was recovering I was gifted acrylic paint markers from a company who found my art on YouTube. I always dislike my work in marker form, but I was like what the heck? Something different to occupy my time until I get back to my full self and begin expanding my art into marker illustrations.
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? What’s a belief or project you’re committed to, no matter how long it takes?
I’d say my long-haul commitment is Post in Color, my snail mail art club. Not just the club itself, but the belief behind it: that art can be a bridge, that color can be a language, and that snail mail can be a radical act of connection to my supporters.
I’m building more than a brand, I’m nurturing a circle that celebrates joy, culture, and bold expression. That kind of vision doesn’t expire. It evolves.
Even if it takes years to reach every corner of my dream, I’m already laying the foundation. Every product, every caption, every moment of vulnerability I share, it’s all part of the legacy.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. When do you feel most at peace?
When I’m at home on my off days, drawing at my desk or in bed.
I love going out but only to eat good food, exercise or get lost in a local art gallery. Day to day life can be really inspiring and I use it as my muse.
I feel most at peace when I finish an illustration I wrecked my brain on for almost a week and my audience enjoys it. The satisfaction of the final product is always an anxious feeling, but it’s always rewarding when a new addition is added and my community appreciates it. It makes me feel like my work has purpose.
