Candy has hidden her unique ability to shift between male and female her whole life, now she has the government hunting her for the one thing she can’t hide, her skin color. As she dodges the labs, she’s starting to wonder if humanity’s future is more important than her own.

Mohan's company sends him to India to test a robo-kitchen on the gated community he's been running from all his life. Now, he must confront caste, class, & gender for the first time, getting everyone to "never cook again!" to save his job, visa and the life he's built for himself #A #SF #2025pit

Odd the Inventor is a messy little monster with some serious skills! In this illustration, he is in his workshop, building a "thunkamajig" (a thingamajig that sometimes goes thunk, a thunkamajig is made from junk!). His best friend and assistant Cheese the rat watches from a safe distance. Odd himself has brown fur, amber eyes, and 2 crinkly horns atop his head. He wears a green vest, cream shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and gray trousers, all of which are covered in dirt and stains.

Odd’s a messy inventor w/ #ADHD quirks—hyper focused yet scatter-brained—who can turn junk into wondrous thunkamajigs. When others dismiss his offbeat creations, he must find the courage to embrace his uniqueness, and prove that being a little “odd” is a beautiful thing.
