Weellll… I left off talking about putting up more art soon but I have some kind of horror flu. Back to work when I can! Got a lot of plans.
The White Savior Industrial Complex
The internet has been a great resource on privilege and institutionalized discriminations. I hope the knowledge spreads.
Hello everyone! I am scanning in and fixing up a buncha sketches to show everyone, but it’s slow going until Thursday. In the meantime, I have to say I had a wonderful time at Wonder Con thanks in large part to the folks at Prism Comics. Prism works to promote LGBTQ creators and works featuring LGBTQ characters. And they are in fact now looking for more creators, specifically those of us who identify as:
lesbian
bisexual
otherwise queer female
trans
genderqueer/fluid
intersex
create comics about characters who identify as above
and anything that isn’t essentially gay-identified cis men!
Prism is concerned about becoming the kind of boys’ club mainstream comics is, so they asked me to recruit (ahem) for the cause. If you fit any of these categories, please consider sending in your comics! And please consider attending Bent Con in LA in December. I will be tabling and am brainstorming panels on intersecting topics of comics and queerness. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please let me know! :D
Soon off to Wonder Con in Anaheim!
I am going to hang around the Prism Comics booth now and again between doing my rounds. I have two signings there: Friday at 5pm and Saturday at 4pm. Plus, I will be participating in the panel THE BAD AND THE BOLD: PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES WITH LGBT CHARACTERS at 6:30pm on Friday. I will not be at the con Sunday so if you’d like to say hi, the signings are your best bet!
Oh yeah, and re: Acrobats. I’m on a deadline for an illustration for another project, hence the delay. I just started inking the next page so it should be up soonish.
