Aleksi Gray (aka Alakotila)
Aleksi makes queer fantasy romance comics, stories, and art. Drawer of too many satyrs and elves, friend of spiders, enthusiastic about flowers and armor. Their art is vibrant, colorful, and focuses on queer joy. Most of his comics and stories include a character in their late 20 to 30s who is able to finally pursue their dream -- whether that means they are in a place where they're finally able to give it a shot, or given space to find a dream and then chase it. He has a soft spot for writing Achillean trans masc and disaster bi leads.
