Custom work is definitely my favorite!
Making something truly unique to that person that fits them aesthetically but more importantly in functionality!

Found some great wood! Can’t say I’m looking forward to cutting this down for tops, all that figure is going to be a nightmare, but a pretty one at least!

Highly figured silver maple board. The grain pattern almost looks like a large feather.

@oliveoilcorp.bsky.social

Hi there!

My name is Olivia and I'm a queer Black graphic novelist making comics about werewolves, love, and the woods. linktr.ee/oliveoilcorp

I'm currently working on DARLIN' AND HER OTHER NAMES, a werewolf-western-horror-romance comic that I self-publish online: www.darlincomic.com

A black and white comics page rendered in fountain pen and Photoshop.

Panel 1
A woman with long, thick hair faces away from the reader, framed by heavy foliage on either side of her. She addresses someone offscreen: "...In a few ways. I'm strong. I can smell things. Hear people comin'. Sometimes it's harder. All together, I'd say it's about the same. Can't say why I do it, but...You ever..."

Panel 2
The woman turns to face the reader, a complex emotion crossing her face. Dappled light creates a halo around her. She continues:
“You ever get sick to death of bein’ a person?”

Panel 3
The camera lands on the person she’s addressing: a man with chin-length hair, sporting a busted lip and a black eye. He doesn’t know what to say back to that, so he says nothing: “…”

Panel 4
Back to the woman. She’s smiling sadly. She finishes the conversation for both of them: “Mhm. You know.”

A black and white comics page rendered with fountain pen and Photoshop.
Panel 1
A nude Black woman hangs a faintly stained dress from the branch of a tree. She's standing on her tiptoes, a bucket at her feet. Dappled light hits her from behind. She's alone in these woods. Deep scars adorn her stomach and one arm.

Panel 2
Close shot of the woman's face. Her facial expression suggests exhaustion, resignation. Maybe both.

Panel 3
The woman shifts into the form of a wolf with dark fur and bright amber eyes.

A black and white comics page rendered in fountain pen and Photoshop.

The silhouette of a woman moves through a deeply forested area. A large tree bisects the page, splitting a panel that depicts water rushing in a stream. We see that the woman's face is covered in blood and there's a yellow glint in her eye.

A black and white comics page rendered in fountain pen and Photoshop.

Panel 1
Closeup shot of a man’s face as he cowers under the open jaws of a wolf. He breathes heavily, shaking. His hair is disheveled and his eye is swollen shut.

Panel 2
The wolf whines, closing its mouth and drawing away with squinted yellow eyes. The man’s breathing slows down, mouth closed.

Panel 3
In the wolf’s place now is a woman, with the same yellow eyes. She stares at the man before her.

Sitting here watching the new trek movies and all I can think about right now is that engineering would make way more sense to be zero grav instead of all these stairways taking forever to get to vital equipment.

Just have a grid movement hold system with mag lock capability to their shoes.

This is just stunning. Seriously. I'm in awe. It's going to take awhile for me to wrap my head around this.
Thank you to the entire Diana Jones Award team and thank you to my incredible crew of Indigenous writers and artists and our non-Indigenous allies.
whhooooboy. I need a drink.

Coyote & Crow is this year’s winner of the Diana Jones Award, arguably tabletop’s highest honor.

A stellar choice among a formidable list of finalists.
