BAM! Happy New Year, lotsa projects let's go

BAM! Happy New Year, lotsa projects let's go

24 Jan • This will only take you 4 minutes

Please god forgive me for signing myself up for all these projects…

Here’s the deal, I’m working on thumbnails for 3 different comics right now (Chapter 4 of The Shepherd’s Sword, a new mini comic called Heave and Thaw for the Boyish2 Anthology, and oh yeah my whole ass graphic novel How Could You). Also, not a thumbnail, but I’m working on a new riso print for Nova and Mali. And I’m supposed to make a new porn comic this year???? Maybe not 😵‍💫

Obviously, out of that list of projects, How Could You is going to have priority, and that kind of means TSS gets ranked closer to last.

BUT I hope you stick around for whenever TSS comes back from hiatus (which should be soon! I’m not intending to be gone for long. I will find a good work balance this coming month.)

You can read The Shepherd’s Sword on Tapas, Tumblr, and Patreon (where you can get a full month’s worth of pages early!)

Here’s January’s mail club rewards! Come get some >:)

(Also for certain Patreon tiers…. some Wayne for you hehe)

Here’s some sweet treats for you to check out:

My good friend Tas has a dinosaur graphic novel available right now for pre-order! I’m linking you to my local queer owned bookshop’s online site where you can get it.
Another graphic novel you can get from my local queer owned bookshop is Ashley Robin’s The Hills of Estrella Roja! Pre-order it now :3c
Also, I’m gonna be ordering this butch4butch erotica zine. I’ve been following this writer on Instagram for a while, and I’m excited to check out this book.
I went on a cool hike in the Adirondacks this past weekend with lots of good friends. It was so beautiful, and I had a blast. It was my first time hiking in the snow, and I slid all the way down the mountain on my ass. Here’s to more winter hikes! My goal is to go on a hike once a month this year!
Cons for the first half of 2023: I’m going to be tabling at ECCC and MCAF (maybe VanCAF and Sakuracon? We shall see!); I’m hoping to refresh my online shop after ECCC with all the fresh zines I’m going to be printing.

Cheers!
