Meet VCD
VCD turns shame into unapologetic freedom — one laugh and honest conversation at a time. Creating a world where people exist, love, and live shamelessly and without apology.
She's is the part of you that asks the question you were told not to ask, and then laughs when you realize you’re not weird for thinking it.
We talk about the stuff people whisper about: sex, bodies, desire, identity, boundaries, power, pleasure. Normalizing the taboo topics that should already be normal.
Through cartoons, humor, and public art, we bring private thoughts into public space and make them a little less scary to say out loud.
About the Founder
Created by Jessica Stahl - Creative Director, Cartoonist, and professional overthinker-turned truth teller.
After a breakup and a one-way ticket to Amsterdam, Jessica started drawing as a way to process her own insecurities. At first it was self-depricating. Then it got more honest. Then other people started saying, wait...I have this too.
With over a decade of experience working in creative industries, Jessica now uses illustration, storytelling, and public interventions to turn uncomfortable truths into table talk - the kind that sparks conversation in the bedroom, the boardroom and everywhere in between.
The Cartoon that
Started a Movement
“Vanillacooldance” was Jessica’s mortifying first AIM screen name in childhood.
Reclaiming it became her first act of dismantling shame — and is now the banner for a global movement helping others do the same.
