The work of Bishakh Som

I just wanted to take moment to appreciate the work of a friend, Bishakh Som. Her storytelling and art in her comic, Apsara Engine is just absolutely stunning. And I was just so taken with it today as I was reading and so grateful to know her.

The front and back cover of Apsara Engine

“Imaginative and poetic, Apsara Engine is powered by a fiercely complex heart. Bishakh Som builds a world in which queer and trans South Asians not only survive, but map the very future. Som is lighting the way forward with a stunning blend of mythology, futurity, and courageous tenderness.” —Franny Choi, author of Soft Science

I also had the immense privilege of collaborating with her when she did the cover art for Greener, with Anju.
