Current Work
Kaya Anderson-Head is a sapphic, genderqueer artist working on concept art and promotional material for a comic. The comic revolves around five main characters, each of which has hit a hitch in their lives preventing them from moving forward. Through mysterious circumstances they wind up living together in a remote cottage, and find solace in each other's company. The goal of this project is to provide a space for escapism which queer people don’t often get with stories where they are represented. Another goal of the project is to normalize diverse forms of gender expression and healthy relationships, both platonic and romantic.
