Tas Mukanik (pronounced “taz mechanic” – the last name is Ukrainian) is a queer artist living in Montreal, originally from Calgary. They live with their fiancee, Winter Jay Kiakas, who together run the small queer business Windy & Wallflower where they create comics together. Tas has worked on multiple projects, namely The Sanity Circus, Paint the Town Red and Augustine. Her debut published graphic novel is Lost Time, published by Penguin Razorbill in 2023. Her specialties are with pencils, flatting and colours. His general interests are in dinosaurs and hot monster women, of which you can probably find traces of either (or both) in all his work.
