I got to teach a fun little workshop on fairy tale comics recently for SAW & The Believer! I talk about the narrative structure of fairy tales & fables, then walk you through a short guided exercise, making your own original short fairy tale comic. You can watch the recording below, if this sounds up your alley!

Under the cut is the comic I drew for this year’s 24 hour comics day/48 hour comics weekend!  This is an adult horror comic, and it comes with some content warnings: miscarriage, child loss, violence, death, and nudity.

If you saw an earlier version of this post and couldn’t read the images, my apologies!  This is real beast of a comic, clocking in at 24 pages, so it takes a little extra work figuring out how to get around tumblr’s image limits.  I think it should hopefully read a little better with all the images under a cut, though.  ENJOY!

Stage Dreams is one of the many LGBTQ books the Texas GOP is currently attempting to ban from schools — so in response, let’s raise a little money for Out Youth, an LGBTQ youth resource center in Austin.

First 10 people who send me a donation receipt of at least $50, I’ll send you a signed and sketched in copy of the book! Donate here: https://www.outyouth.org/donate

I got to record a fun live reading of the first chapter of my lesbian western graphic novel, Stage Dreams, as part of this year’s pride programming for the city of West Hollywood! If you wanna hear me make explosion noises and do character voices in a gawdawful western accent, you can watch it right here:
