Almost done with my submission for the Dirty Comics show!! I’m excited about finishing another project that I can’t really show the internet yet. :p
I will have a few pages on display at the Center for Sex and Culture in SF! Opening reception is October 5th. Runs throughout the month. (Probably.)
That Daniel Tosh stuff is old news by now, but I like my friend’s Tumblr response to it. Personally, I hate it when people who have never experienced any kind of sexual assault talk about it in a knowing manner or explain it away or joke about it, as if they knew at all what they are talking about. Or they say, “Wouldn’t it be funny?…” and their comedian buddy friends are all like, yeah, that’s hilarious, why is everyone so butthurt?
Wouldn’t it be funny if five men raped Daniel Tosh and then he tried to file a police report about it but no one believed his account of it because they all provided alibis for one another and they were good upstanding members of the community?
Wouldn’t if be funny if Daniel Tosh was followed…
A few months ago a friend of mine asked me if I consider myself a feminist, and responded with uncomprehending outrage when I said that I did not. There were a lot of us in that conversation, so it was hard for me to explain my position in the ensuing crossfire. My friend was concerned that we…
For all the chaps who are so upset, furious, offended, affronted that people mocked the Catwoman #0 cover, I have a few words of counsel.
First, please understand that the critics are not complaining that the cover is “too sexy”. Perhaps someone somewhere has said that the cover is “too…
I am working on a few projects I can’t really share yet, and I just signed on for another one with a book publishing startup. Acrobats has been barely updated for months now and while I love my characters and story still, I really think it’s best to put it on hold and come back to it when I can devote appropriate time and energy to a regularly-updated comic. I was originally planning to get through chapter one and put out a booklet, but it would still take a while to get there, and now way am I just shoving an incomplete story into published format and peddling it to people without being able to tell them when the resolution will arrive!
I will be updating sketches and miscellaneous things now and again and I plan on having a table at APE, SF Zinefest, and Bent Con this year (jury is out for Yaoi Con!) I’ll update things here so no worries, but you can find agentagnes on Twitter, Wordpress, and Facebook, too.
Thank you all!!
Kisses,
Agnes
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 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.
I am nailing down my Wonder Con schedule. I should be there Friday afternoon and all of Saturday, not sure about Sunday. I will not have my own table - rather, I will be hanging around the Prism Comics booth. They have Picnic on the Moon, Disconnect, and Flesh Games for sale but no prints this time around. I will be doing a signing there, also, the time of which I will update soon!
This is the panel I’m participating in: “The Bad and The Bold: Pushing the Boundaries with LGBT Characters” Room 211AB. Friday, 6:30-7:30pm! Proudly brought to you by the letter B, if you didn’t already know. :>
