Krista Michaels – a transgender author, comic book artist, and photographer – began her first major job in the arts, circa 2004, at a state-of-the-art theatre in her hometown of Danville, Virginia. She designed posters, ran sound for various musical productions and plays, projected films via dual-35mm projectors, provided event & promotional cinematography, as well as sound & set design. She eventually became the theatre’s Film Division Director. Krista dabbled a bit in videography, and played music in several rock bands in the region, though she hadn’t quite found her calling. However, this was a minor issue by comparison, as she had been battling gender dysphoria for many years.

Krista finally began her transition, and spent time deciding what it was that she wanted to do for the remainder of her career. A few years later, Krista moved to various locations from Montréal to Cape Cod, and then eventually to Los Angeles, CA, where she started a photography business, and even had a short modeling career in the process. While in LA, she met her co-creator, and now fiancée, Jessica D’Amelio. The two hit it off immediately, and eventually began developing the beginnings of what would become “A Sky Beyond” – a sci-fi comic series. Krista and Jessica are also working together to develop a transgender superhero comic series, entitled “Pink Lotus”. After having gone through similar life experiences, and realizing just how closely their tastes aligned, the two crafted something in which they are very passionate about, with hopes of bringing a smile to the next generation.
