The Beginning of Something New

Seeded: Track 1 Cover Art by Rachel Lee Thai Nyeholt

Happy belated Earth Day!

First off, a quick introduction: My name is Rachel Lee Thai Nyeholt (I know, it’s long, but that’s me!). I live in Portland, Oregon with my family and have been a working designer for the past 14 years. It’s always been a dream of mine to create a story and draw a graphic novel.

On an early Earth day morning back in 2022, I had an idea about DJing elves that synthesized the genetic code of seeds. Weird, I know. And that was the moment Seeded came to life for me.

Yesterday was a pretty big day. First, Seeded Stories is officially live. Following that, Seeded Track #1 is set to launch by June. Seeded is a limited-series comic for middle-grade readers. Track 1 is the first comic to the series.

Yesterday also marked the third year since I started working on this project. It took two years writing the outline and script (working on it here and there due to life) and then, fortunately, about this time last year I got more time to draw the panels and bring the first chapter to life. Being my first full comic, it’s been a wild learning curve, but overall, it’s been very fun and fulfilling. I am grateful.

You can see more of the pages on Patreon (www.patreon.com/seeded_stories).

Stay tuned for more info on the launch!
