Oobh I got plany off time
Crazy by Doechii starts playing loudly.
This is what I have to keep telling myself in order to stay cool with this busy season 😎😎

WonderCon 2025 ( & C2E2!!)
For the first time ever, I’ll be at WonderCon! If you’re in the SoCal area, come say hi to me, En, Courtney, and Tay as we share a Small Press table in the back of the hall this weekend. We’ll have a curated best-of-the-best selection of comics, prints, and stickers. The table is SP-58. We’ve never done this show before, so I’ll let you know how it goes!

If you’re in the midwest, C2E2 is right around the corner. After we get back from California, we have about a week of downtime before we get back on a plane to go to Chicago. En and I will be at table H12, with Tay, Misha, and Courtney at tables H11 and H13. We’ll be in the center of the hall!! (Map coming soon) C2E2 is April 11-13, which makes it my birthday con!!
I mentioned this on Bluesky, but I’m using some of the money from these shows to get my back tattooed as a birthday gift to me. If you want me to be sexier… really this is a birthday gift to us all 😏
How Could You, college drama so scary even to horror authors!
Are you subscribed to Ashley Robin Franklin’s newsletter? In their most recent one, they gave How Could You a shoutout, and I’m so freakin honored. Ashley’s comics like The Hills of Estrella Roja and The Skin You’re In are exceptional!!

“How Could You by Ren Strapp is a funny and deeply relatable YA/New Adult graphic novel about a group of queer college friends and exes. Feelings are hurt. Mistakes are made. Strapp really captured the chaos and emotionality of late-teens and early twenties. Woof!!!”
– Ashley Robin Franklin, The Hills of Estrella Roja

My final comic for Autostraddle
The end of an era, to be sure. I’ve been doing Autostraddle comics for like six years, and I’m ready to move on to the next thing. Take a look and read the backlog. Btw, this collection is looking for a new print published home! If you wanna know more, hit up my agent ;)

March Rewards
This month’s mail club rewards are themed around these two knight ladies from a project I’m working on with my bestie for fun :^) They have star and sun motifs, so the sticker that goes along with is this traditional sun and moon tattoo style sticker. Choose your tier and get the sticker, or the sticker + print mailed to you at the end of the month!

The print and stickers for March 2025 - sun, moon, stars… lady knights… hot!!!!!!
For Horn Dog tiers and up, you can take a peek at this month’s NSFW illustrations 🥵

What else did I do this month, hmm…
Kicked off con season with ECCC, which you can read all about on my blog! I love that show, I love Seattle, and I love everyone I get to meet.
I went to Outlet to do some printing. At events this year, I’ll have new copies of Lesbian Gender Outlaw, which have special interiors that are printed fluro orange on orchid paper. I made a little reel about that experience on Instagram.
I reevaluated my goals and plans for the year, filed my taxes, took on more hours at the print shop… I didn’t get the opportunity to do a hike this month, but I think I’m gonna just have to be kinder on myself. Traveling for shows really throws off my rhythm!
That’s it for now. On to the links 👇
Here’s some sweet treats for you to check out:
Last Summer at Camp Righteous by Ollie Hicks is available for pre-order!!!!! This is maybe the comic I’m most excited for in the whole world right now.
The third issue of Boon of the Beacon Maker by En Nelson-Correia is printed and available right now. Get your gay pirates.
What Comes Next by Fawnduu is out now!! I provided a blurb for this horny lesbian orgasm denial comic. Digital file here, print edition here.
KulfiGirls is making the music I have needed my whole life. Fuck, they’re so good!! Give them $5 on Bandcamp!!
Kaylee Rowena made a super simple portfolio template if you’re interested in building your own site in a relatively easy breezy way. This is genuinely such a gift.
I’m really enjoying Dianna Lopez on YouTube, if you’re looking for peaceful background noise.
