Summer Kim

She/Her

Summer is a Korean-Canadian comic artist and illustrator currently living in Tkaronto. Summer crafts narratives through soft images inspired by tender and delicate emotion. As a member of an artist collective “TCK Club”, she continuously shares her journey of seeking the meaning of home with fellow TCKs (Third Culture Kids). When she’s not drawing or reading comics, you will find her tendering her worm farm and caring for her two cats, all while a big pot of soup simmers on the stove.
