LONG BIO

Sloane Leong is a self-taught cartoonist, illustrator, art director, narrative game designer, and writer of Hawaiian, Chinese, Mexican, Native American and European ancestry. Through prose, illustration, and comics, she engages with visceral futurities and fantasies through a radical, kaleidoscopic lens, the extrapolation and hybridization of ecologies within speculative frames, and the violent cultural structures of our world and others, both micro and macro.

She is the creator of several graphic novels: From Under Mountains, Prism Stalker, A Map to the Sun, and Graveneye. She has been self-publishing her own comics since she was a teen and has done work for Pixar, Viz Media, New Republic, Image Comics, Cartoon Network, DC, Dark Horse, Namco, and more. Her fiction has appeared in many publications including Lightspeed Magazine, Dark Matter Magazine, Apex Magazine, Fireside Magazine, Analog, Realm Media and many more. In 2022, she attended Clarion West’s six week summer workshop. In 2023, she was chosen to be a Fellow in the 8th Annual Native American TV Writers Lab.

Sloane currently works at Wizards of the Coast as a narrative designer for Magic: The Gathering. As an editor, she has Kickstarted and edited and art directed 2 volumes of an illustrated horror anthology, Death In the Mouth: Original Horror by People of Color. She has also worked with clients as a fiction and comics editor and coach, providing career guidance and creative mentorship. She also co-hosted a show, now retired, with her best friend Leslie Hung about storytelling with a focus on comics and film.

She is also the co-founder of the Cartoonist Cooperative, an organization dedicated to helping cartoonists develop a generative and sustainable creative practice. She also co-founded The Minicomic Awards, an annual virtual showcase that spotlights the unique, challenging, yet under-recognized work in short form comics with Leslie Hung which has been integrated into the Cartoonist Cooperative.

Sloane is currently living on Chinook land near what is known as Portland, Oregon with her family and two dogs.
