Rosa Rahsan E.

Rosa Ekedal is a queer artist, illustrator, graphic novelist, and storyboard artist. Her portfolio can be found directly at rosaekedal.com. Rosa studied traditional illustration under Charles Pyle and Robert Revels in the famous Barbara Bradley School of Illustration at the Academy of Art University, San Francisco. She first received international recognition for the award-nominated graphic novel ECHOES, and went on to co-create the shared universe of THINK TANK and THE TITHE. In 2019, the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians published SOLDIERS UNKNOWN, a collaboration between Rosa and Indigenous author Chag Lowry. This unique historical project, approved by the Yurok Tribe and endorsed by the United States World War I Centennial Commission, tells the never-before-told story of Native soldiers in the Great War, and depicts Yurok traditional ceremonial culture with unprecedented immediacy. Rosa resides in Berlin, Germany with her family.
