Fare (1/4)
A comic page. The title says “Fare, by Allie Drake.” A crow person sits on her bed having a text message conversation with someone. She says: “idk, it feels like I’m doing it wrong / I thought I was going to feel like a girl by now / how much longer do I have to wait?” Her friend responds: “youre already a girl! / but also like / i get it, it takes time / you were started on a really low dosage too / wait / youre taking it sublingually right?” The crow girl sends back: “um / I’m just swallowing it?” The crow girl’s friend says: “you gotta let it dissolve under your tongue / it bypasses your liver that way, goes directly to your bloodstream*” *This comic is not medical advice, please consult your doctor/endocrinologist/cool friends The crow girl responds: “huh! I guess I’ll try that, thanks” The takes a pill from her bottle (which says “_stradiol” on it), puts it under her tongue, and promptly lays down and falls to sleep on her bed. A blue-green glow emanates from the bottom of the page.

Incredibly proud of our Moth Pokédex Zine, featuring photographs of needle felted figures of every moth Pokémon (and many of their larvae forms!), all with PNW-inspired descriptions.

These will be available in our online store on Wednesday, August 20th!

It's the 50th anniversary of the Fall of Saigon. I spent all of today digging through my office and the garage to find the DVD of this documentary my mom was in and then ripping it and compiling it to upload in its entirety.

Please watch and share.

Photo of a mini zine titled “Observations on… Farmer Fairies Summer ‘23.“ includes doodles of fairies and plants, as well as a needle felted Peach Fairy.

Hi! Drakes Den is run by two queer artists with 13+ years working in bookstores. Our objective is to open a brick-and-mortar gift/bookstore supporting our local community! Right now we function as an art market table selling used books, our own handmade art, and other curated art from folks we know!

Digital painting of Harmony Cobel/Selvig from the TV show Severance. The upper half is a night scene of her in her colorful Mrs. Selvig disguise, surrounded by red pomegranate flowers and leaves. In the lower half, she is upside down in the bright white setting of Lumon, dressed in dark professional attire as Ms. Cobel. She is surrounded by the roots of the pomegranate plant, with pomegranate fruits hanging down in the transition between the two scenes.

As someone who mostly draws books, this whole serialized monthly thing is very new to me. Having something come out every month is rad! The downside is I'm scrambling to try to finish everything on time for future issues, I don't feel like I'm talking about it as much. Anyhow, new BC next week!
