Sex and relationships are the last thing Lizzy is thinking about when she moves to the big city. She is completely focused on starting her studies, looking for a job and living with her older and sarcastic roommate Elva, which is still unfamiliar. She is also still reeling from the breakup with her long-term boyfriend.
When she visits a sex shop for the first time out of curiosity, Lizzy begins to explore her own sexuality and discovers a whole new side of herself. An exciting side. From dating apps to sex toys to bondage, she tries out lots of things and slowly discovers her interest in the kinky side of sex.
However, this journey is not without challenges: she must deal with the uncertainties of modern dating, financial worries and the question of how she wants to shape her relationships and sex life in the future. Lizzy faces great challenges that offer great opportunities - anything but frivolous!
Marie Sann, a character and comic artist born and based in Berlin, grew up in an open minded and creative environment. From a young age, barely able to hold a pencil, she began crafting her own worlds filled with colorful characters. When drawing, Marie particularly values the opportunity not just to entertain, but also to inspire and impart knowledge. Her Kinky Karrot project allows her to perfectly combine all these aspects.
Marie's Journey with Sexuality and Empowerment
"From a young age, I was drawn to exploring sexuality, but I struggled to find content that resonated with me. Sex education in school felt lackluster, and mainstream pornography often left me feeling alienated by its male-centric and misogynistic portrayals. It became evident that discussions around sexuality, especially female sexuality, were sorely lacking.
Years later, fueled by this gap, I embarked on a mission to create a brand that educates, inspires, and empowers individuals on the journey of healthy sexuality and female empowerment.
I envision my project as a beacon of guidance and hope, offering a space where individuals, especially women, can navigate their sexual journey with confidence and understanding. Through Kinky Karrot, my aim is to facilitate conversations and provide resources that enable individuals to learn about healthy sexuality and fulfill their needs in a supportive and empowering environment."
Yann Krehl served as the co-writer for this project. He joined the team after the characters, the overarching concept, and the initial pages had already been developed. With his exceptional talent, he not only added greater depth to the characters but was also responsible for the brilliant and often humorously crafted texts that the characters speak in the comic. Additionally, he provided a cohesive narrative thread to the story.

That said, ABLAZE is teaming up with worldwide distribution networks to help keep your costs low and to ensure that your packages are delivered quickly and safely.
Shipping rates are not included in your pledge and are subject to change.
