Some recent dissertation pages^^ I loved doing the page that introduces Shatterstar; the idea was to make it feel special and slightly otherworldly, then to move away from that world on the next page as he immerses himself in American culture via televsion

It's been simultaneously cathartic and challenging to re-examine my lived experience as I apply it to my exploration of American Culture, in conjunction with a close reading of X-Men comics

I haven't posted on Blue Sky in a while but now feels like an appropriate time to start again! Here are some of the latest pages from my comics dissertation that explores the shifting perspectives of queerness-as-illness in American culture from the 1980s to today

Slowly but surely "eating the elephant," as my friend/mentor would say. My dissertation is taking me a while because of my anxiety/depression/general in/ability to function, but I'm getting it done!

It's Lonely at the Centre of the Earth is incredible. Thorogood is so candid, so vulnerable and self-deprecating, so playful with the comics form. I can't believe it took me this long to read it but I'm so glad I finally did. It immediately went on my shelf of favorite comics. What a powerful work
