An FBI linguist follows a killer into the Arizona desert — and finds a town full of secrets that don’t want to be uncovered.

The Pale is a character-driven mystery inspired by stories like Twin Peaks and Fargo — where the real tension lives between people.

Vol 2 launches on Kickstarter January 20

LRT: appreciate if you will the slow ass turtle pace of a webcomic artist who makes a comic in-between all their other obligations who eventually, page my page, finds their people willing to crawl alongside them for every update for years, and that's so intensely human lol, gen ai could never

The Pale is back.

A slow-burn supernatural mystery set in small-town Arizona — returning with Volume 2 on Kickstarter.

We’ve been working on this story since 2015, and we’re excited to finally share what comes next.

I just finished crocheting my dragon for Kiddo.

I can’t tell you how many times I had to restart the head. I’ve had this pattern for about over a year. Glad to see progress.

Past few years served us a lot of family drama and my hopes are just to find part time work, on the comic and provide for our daughter.

BOOM! Check out my KS video and sign up for the prelaunch :)

Look at what my 4yo just drew- it’s a dragon— but look at that LOOP.

This is the first time she’s drawn something with dimension!

I’be been reworking my Kickstarter for Vol 2 and planning to launch it in January.

GMA going into hospice and her passing was, of course, distracting… but now that we’re in small press, we’re gonna have to work it. It’s Exciting! Hope you back it :)

I’m putting together my picks for our end of the year awards show. 🏆

Shout out some of the amazing comics projects we’ve seen this year that you love. No big 2 (you can but it won’t be considered as we focus on indies.)

Shameless self promotion is accepted. Categories are obvious.

Life has been very complex lately. Family drama/politics. Hubs and I just want to raise Kiddo in the only home she’s known and build a life after grandma.

And I’m willing to do whatever it takes to give her that stability.
