= Jump to:navigation, search = Morgan Sea is a multidisciplinary artist from Saskatchewan.[1] Primarily known as a cartoonist and zine illustrator, Sea also works in video, performance art, craft/sculpture, video games and radio production.[2][3] Sea's work has been described as auto-ethno-graphic, exploring and creating trans feminist mythologies using fantasy and queer theory.[4][5] As a cartoonist, she draws from traditional themes of superheroes and monsters, often subverting their tropes by bringing them into banal, everyday circumstances.[6]

Early life and education
Sea was born and raised in Saskatchewan. She attended the Media Art program at Alberta College of Art + Design and Inter-Media Cyber Arts at Concordia University.[2] Sea completed a Interdisciplinary Master's in Art, Media and Design (MA, MDes and MFA) in 2020 at OCAD University.[5]

Creative practice & selected works
Sea's practice uses DIY strategies as a way to foster a more "tangible and flexible trans* culture," creating works that circulate online and are available cheaply in zine fairs.

Zines
Sea's zines range from the personal/autobiographical, to zines explaining how to make zines and about zine culture. Sea often uses fantasy as a way to comment on reality.
