It was an anthology. I coloured about 5 stories and this pinup. It basically ended up with no one getting paid and the book not shipping due to some very unscrupulous characters running it… there are a bunch of creators out of pocket - plus all the people who funded it.

Cassie Hack

This is one I coloured for a kickstarter… that I never got paid for, and to the best of my knowledge, never shipped… 😡

Still.. I did get to work on a Tim Seeley Cassie Hack image!

I came across a bunch of my old (very cringey) D&D character sheets from when I was a teenager the other day. So I decided to draw one of the murder-hobos..

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.

It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.

Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.

Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

And a typo dang in.. it auto corrected Jose’s name - his surname is Luis not Louis. Apologies to Jose.

I just launched my new website.. I built this one using Google sites (since it is free) - it doesn’t have all the features of some hosts, but it does what I need - and the price tag helps after the last year or so..

Matt is one of the best colorists I’ve worked with, and while I wish it had turned out to be under better circumstances for both of us, he is a pleasure to work with and delivers amazing (and amazingly fast) results! #comics #makecomics

Messing around with digital Watercolour.

Messing with the watercolours in Rebelle, just to see what I could do. I went with Ruairí’s lineart because of how open it is and I thought the water colour would be interesting with it.
