AOTW #23: Chu
Chu is a nonbinary, mixed race, 31 y/o cartoonist who currently lives in Arizona. They are the creator of the award-winning fantasy webcomic Slightly Damned as well as The Junk Hyenas Diner.
Slightly Damned started as a hobby in 2004. This fantasy-flavored afterlife adventure is now one of the internet's oldest ongoing webcomics. It has won four Ursa Major Awards and was the focus of two successful Kickstarters, and is now a part of the Hiveworks webcomic collective.
They have a graduate degree in cartooning from The Center for Cartoon Studies. While studying in Vermont, they developed their second webcomic, The Junk Hyenas Diner. As the name implies, it is a science-fantasy series about a small family of mutant hyenas that run a diner on an alien planet.
Animals, humor, color, and food are the four essential elements to Chu's work as an artist. They strive to make art that has the power to move people, even if it's just a chuckle.

No AOTW today! The new year is a period of transition for our Mod team here at TGA (no pun intended), so we haven't been able to prepare properly! However, please keep sending us trans artists of the week to feature!

AOTW #22: AndroidPriest Cameron Stark is a 28 year old digital illustrator and designer from Michigan, who has been drawing since he could hold a pencil.
Inspired by fantasy, scifi and transhumanism, video games, and music, his art tends to center on characters and locations from his imagination, trying to convey worlds he has spent years thinking about in the shower but procrastinating writing about.
Cameron’s hobbies center around the creative as well—he enjoys creative writing, watching and playing video games, dabbling in music when the selfdoubt isn’t too dramatic, and the occasional performing art. He also never stopped playing dressup asa kid, so he still does that a good chunk of the time as well.
Currently working with Titanomachy Studios, Cameron is always looking to expand his art portfolio through many different avenues.
His work has been featured in local event flyers, music and performance promotion/merch, as well as various indie game and comic projects. His goal is to one day run a multimedia studio of his own, or maybe convert a cathedral into a nightclub. Or maybe become a robot.

AOTW #9: The Missing Artist
In updating our website, we realized that Kyle doesn’t know how to count and that Artist of the Week #9 does not exist. Today, Kyle will be remedying that.
The 9th Artist of the Week is You!
It’s been a long and eventful year. A lot has happened, some great and inspiring, but other downright terrifying and paralyzing. But you’re still here. You’re still persistent and with us, devoting whatever time you can to your passions, even if it’s at crazy hours or in the middle of a class.
You’ve helped us promote our artists of the week, bringing more recognition to trans artists who deserve it, and we couldn’t thank you enough for making what we do not only possible but a success. Thank you for you, and thank you for your help.

AOTW #19: Allan Grossmann
Allan Grossmann is a 21 y/o FTM transgender animation student who has a passion for drawing anything ranging from horses to robotic characters, writing fanfiction and film scripts, and playing videogames and TTRPG’s in his free time.
As an artist coming from a background of an Irish-Comanche family, Allan also wishes to explore a wider, more-diverse style of art and inspiration for his work, as well as learn more about his family’s rich history and culture. When it comes to his future, Allan dreams of producing his own short films and maybe even an animated television series or two; he also plans on working on more art and game-based videos for his YouTube channel.
As of right now, the best way to support Allan is to purchase a commission to help him get through the holidays while he works to find a job.
