KaiJu

KaiJu was created by infusing the creative passions of Kate Rhodes, a cartoonist,

and Jennifer Xu, an animator. Rhodes and Xu graduated from SVA in their

respective majors and worked for companies such as Straight Up Films for stage

design, Skynamic Studios for concept art, and Golden Pine Forest for animation

backgrounds.

​

Jen and Kate were first published in Sparkler Monthly in April of 2014 with their

debut work “The Ring of Saturn”. Their next work “Mahou Josei Chimaka”, won a

DINKy award in March of 2016. Their short comic, “Inhabitant of Another Planet” was also nominated for a DINKy the following year. Their current project can be found at NovaeComic.com
