Frozen Garden is a collaboration between Shini, who writes, and Yasmine, who illustrates. Together, they have been creating worlds since 2012, sharing them through comic books and poetic watercolor illustrations inspired by flora and fauna. Today, they are published by Nao Studio Publishing, a partner of Y/CON 12.
Their stories draw from genres such as romance, fantasy, and erotica, with a particular fondness for boys’ love.
They’re launching pre-orders for their book, Caladrius, on June 10, 2026!

Yasmine
Yasmine is a self-taught artist with a particular fondness for traditional media, such as watercolor and colored inks. Her illustrations transport us to dreamlike and fantastical worlds imbued with poetry. But above all, she loves telling stories, so in 2012, she formed the group Frozen Garden with Shini, her writer. Since then, they have been regularly producing and publishing comic books, and since 2025, a webtoon with Lezhin in Korea, France, and the United States.
