Graphic of cork board with 9 images tacked to it with post-it notes shown that have hand written messages on them. 1st row: From left to right, the images are a magical old book in turquoise and yellows, a vibrantly colored (blue, purple, pink, red) landscape with trees and the setting sun, a meadow filled with colorful flowers with a setting sun. In the top left corner the notes says "Breathe", then "Choose calm", then "Do it scared". 2nd row: image of a colorful meadow in the foreground with a foggy building behind it, then a stone building with a tall central turret on a bright green field and a setting sun over water behind the building, then a purple, blue, and pink cloudy sunset. The notes say "what if it all works out?" And then "make it a great day" and "don't let anything get in your way." 3rd (bottom) row: a fire with rainbow flames, then a river in a green meadow with a tree and sunset in tht back with bright pink clouds in the sky, then a green hilly meadow with mountains in the background. All of the images have an ethereal feel somewhere between photography and art.

ALIEN X WHAT MOVES THE DEAD
An isolated space station. A mysterious scientist. A trio of government inspectors. A “false” distress signal. An omnipresent AI. A zoo of animal test subjects. What could go wrong?

Digital art of a large, white-ish tentacle creature a bit like a cuttlefish or a squid. Over the art are the words “Unintended Designs” in all white caps expect for the second “i” which is lower case and blue over the creature. There’s also the smaller words “Theodore Snapdragon” and “@transcendragons”. The creature swims mostly underwater with a little bit of its back peeking above the water. It’s surrounded by fish and lily pads, and distantly under the water are impressions of more plants.

My third-ever pitch: One seeks stars. One summons storms. Both learn the strongest magic is what we choose to let go.

Between the stars and storms, one character kneels before another and whispers, “It’ll hurt less if we kiss.”

A moodboard consisting of 5 pictures, each outlined in navy blue. The 5th picture is in the centre. A foggy wooden dockyard at night. The inside of a tackle shop. Nets, buoys, and fishing paraphernalia hand from the wall and ceiling. A pile of grey fish. A hand reaching out of grey water, the sky above is overcast. A fishing boat on the ocean. Seagulls swarm it in the air. Outlined text over a dark blue ocean. The horizon is obscured by fog. Arrows point to words scattered across the image. The text reads: From the Sea Fret. Revenge. Queer Transmac MC. Cosmic horror. Paranoia. Thalassophobia. Creepy small town.

How do you find out who you are when your family history has been systematically erased?

My memoir, WHERE THE TIGERS DIED, explores the adoption industry in South Korea, mixed race identity, Korean pop culture, and what it means to visit one's ancestral homeland as a foreigner.

one comic page in watercolor style showing a flashback and a yellow girl handing a blue girl a keychain, then the blue girl blushing pink with a pink background forming. Voiceover on this page is the blue girl in present day saying "Well... someone one picked me up off the floor and helped me when I was down." Comic page showing present day in a more saturated, cell-shaded style. The blue girl continues saying " So I figure I should pay it forward." Next panel shows her waving at the yellow girl, saying "See you at the con!" Yellow girl waves responding "Yeah see you there..." The next panel shows the yellow girl with a pink background, blushing and clutching her chest. The last panel has her touching her face in surprise, saying "Woah! Why's my face so warm? And why am I all sweaty? I really hope I didn't catch something..."
