ICYMI in 2015 and subsequent years.

Realised I've shilled DRAGONERS here but not my novel THE DEVOURERS. This one's for the sickos (& Romantics), a dark queer mythic realist fantasy; a pack of immortal shapeshifters migrates from Europe to the Mughal Empire in the 17th c, & the snarling wake of their arrival ripples into modern India.

this is just my personal opinion and you may disagree with me. but i would also be cautious about ascribing too much meaning behind being blocked by someone with a lot of followers who gets a lot of replies all the time. or being blocked by anyone at all!

A friend pointed out a good problem they have with drawing pants on walking movement and I love drawing folds so I tried to do a little show and tell on pant folds. I love how @kodyisover.bsky.social visualized the problem! It’s such a common issue I sometimes still struggle with too!

Wanted to wait after the festival, but had a lovely opportunity to draw the poster for our residency group. Since we were a very small team, it was very manageable to make this! Traditional inks for the BG elements!

Tiffany’s Griffon is the story of a nerdy girl who dreams of being a Griffon Rider in her favorite fantasy books. It turns out the books are REAL-but she’s not the Chosen One. Tiffany, the popular girl, is. Marnie feels she deserves it more, and she’ll take Tiffany’s griffon for herself if she must.

Hey! :] Pre-order the book that Kirkus calls “Fantasy-adventure with a great sense of humor” and “An emotionally affecting work that explores the power of stories” in their starred review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Get 25% off when you order from Barnes & Noble until July 17! YAY

Hello friends! Didn't have losing my original account on my bingo card, so here's a new intro post. I'm still the same uninteresting kai, who makes comics and illustrations. Currently, I'm working on relaunching my webcomic, Ukiyo (very queer R18) (2nd image is @marisketch.bsky.social 's Sabine)

Just finished reading my PDF copy as I wait for the eventual physical and hey, turns out when you have a collection of the best queer sapphic creatives in comics do a romance-smut anthology it ends up being absolutely fantastic. Who knew! Gorgeous, tender, and STAGGERINGLY hot. The ideal package.

This went out without any fanfare at all, oops. But hey, Sapphic Pulp backers, check your inbox!! 🥰

It's wild to think there are psych studies like "Are you a realist or is it depression?"

I will never forget the president of Archie Comics saying "Diversity is just a buzz word that doesn't mean anything. Its just a way to make money" as they had creators who sincerely wanted to help diversify their line back in the day. Basically, none of the genuine efforts mattered and... Yeah.

Checking out The Ravening War and it's pretty good so far. I'm glad it's a short campaign.

knowing what we're paid empowers everyone and helps us push publishers to raise their absolutely abysmal wages 🗣️✨✨we deserve to get paid what we're worth!!

It's time for the 2024 Comics Worker Survey for US workers! Pay transparency is crucial to uncovering patterns in pay inequity & learning what publishers and clients can ACTUALLY pay us. Submit your info and encourage your peers to do the same! cartoonist.coop/2024USsurvey (art by Phil McAndrew)
