Po Gasan-Zade is a storyteller, illustrator and full-time cryptid who loves to draw people when they aren’t looking. In 2018 they graduated from SVA with a BFA in cartooning: their curiosity for many things resulted in a fondness for drawing monsters, nature, erotica and mythological concepts. In their stories, Po explores complex topics while balancing seriousness and humor. Po is currently working on a WW2 graphic novel, told from the perspective of a Russian soldier fighting in Belgium who has gone mad from his experiences, and independent projects including character design and storyboarding. In their free time, Po enjoys the comfort of dark forests where they play and write concepts for video games, sculpt, and experiment with food recipes.
