Kim Kuzuri is a queer Japanese American artist and writer. They've successfully crowdfunded several enamel pin projects: Folkgore, a collection based on Japanese and Irish folklore; Hex!, a ttrpg inspired collection; Killer Style, a retro pin and apparel set honoring our orca comrades. They also helped produce and coordinate the National Parks Oracle Deck. Kim a co-founder and member of the Honey Scamps art collective.
Kim's most recent publishing credits have included 2 Trans 2 Furious (an all-trans zine about the Fast and Furious franchise), and Cleis Press' Best Bondage of the Year Vol. 1 and Best Women's Erotica of the Year Vol 7. They mostly put their illustration and design skills towards thirsty (and occasionally nsfw) fanart of their media crushes, but on occasion they draw comics, make zines, and follow other artistic pursuits like figure sculpting in traditional and digital media.
You can find them on Instagram as KimKuzuri or on Tumblr and Bluesky as Ponderosa121, their fannish nom de plume.
