Tavan Maneetapho (cover)
is an illustrator and comic
book artist based in Brighton,
UK. She says of her own style:
“The characters in my universe
are usually the misfits in
society – the daydreamer, the
loner, the one that laughs just
a little too loud. I create work
with the hope to touch and
to affect feelings that aren't
necessarily on the surface,
sometimes juxtaposing sadness
with humour.”
