This project created an independent publication and collaborative illustration anthology in memory of wowaka. Titled ai_NOT LATE_, it transformed tribute and shared emotion into a cohesive printed experience, extending across the book, event booth, and promotional materials to connect memory, storytelling, and audience engagement.

My approach combined illustration, editorial design, and full print production management. I led layout, print preparation, vendor coordination, booth design, and promotion, creating a unified identity around the release. Balancing emotional resonance with clarity, the anthology became a personal, polished, and collectible object that sold out at ComiCup 29.
