Ariel Slamet Ries is a comic artist and illustrator residing in Australia on unceded Boonwurrung and Wurundjeri lands. After studying animation in Denmark for 4 years, they lost their degree in the post and unceremoniously bumbled into making comics for a living.
Their first two major publications Witchy and Cry Wolf Girl are multi-award nominated, most notably receiving the 2020 Ignatz Awards for Outstanding Online Comic and Outstanding Comic, respectively. Ariel is passionate about creating speculative fiction centering marginalised folks, and is currently working on Strange Bedfellows, the self-indulgent sci-fi romance they’ve had on the backburner for thirteen years.
