I made my sister’s business logo and designed the promo stuff, including this sweatshirt. :D
I’m currently working on an illustration for another anthology, so sadly I missed APE. :( I don’t have any plans for cons right now; they are just too expensive for me. I’m keeping it web-only for a while, although I hear the Cartoon Art Museum still has my comics in stock!
My short erotic comic about a birthday party hanging up at the Center for Sex and Culture! :)
Dirty Comics Show Reception tonight!! :D Be there or be square!
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
Another Dirty Comics show in October! -
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.)
A finished image from a project I’ve been working on for a few months. That’s all I can say right now! :)

Her username is ihaveninecats.
I barely know what to do with myself now that I have free time again! Eventually I will be posting about a cd cover and a book I’ve been working on for the past 3 months, when the projects actually come out. In the meantime, here are some sketches I did in my free time.
Here is the directory so you can browse at your leisure. Most of the most recent ones are NSFW due to nudity! Sorry I’m not sorry.
I also started on a series of sketches which I’m thinking about turning into a comic. It’s a lesbian pool party. Not much story there. :p
Random extra sketch of a fetishy couple.
I seem to draw more men/women depending on what’s lacking in my life, it seems. :p
O_O: wouldn't it be funny [tw: rape/assault] -
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…

No Straight Lines: Four Decades of Queer Comics
by various artists; edited by Justin Hall (cover art by Maurice Vellekoop)328-page black & white/color 7.75” x 10.25” hardcover • $35.00
ISBN: 978-1-60699-506-8Queer cartooning encompasses some of the best and most interesting comics of the last four decades, with creators tackling complex issues of identity and a changing society with intelligence, humor, and imagination. This book celebrates this vibrant artistic underground by gathering together a collection of excellent stories that can be enjoyed by all.
No Straight Lines showcases major names such as Alison Bechdel (whose book Fun Home was named Time Magazine’s 2006 Book of the Year), Howard Cruse (whose groundbreaking Stuck Rubber Baby is now back in print), and Ralf Koenig (one of Europe’s most popular cartoonists), as well as high-profile, crossover creators who have flirted with the world of LGBTQ comics, like legendary NYC artist David Wojnarowicz and media darling and advice columnist Dan Savage. No Straight Lines also spotlights many talented creators who never made it out of the queer comics ghetto, but produced amazing work that deserves wider attention.
Until recently, queer cartooning existed in a parallel universe to the rest of comics, appearing only in gay newspapers and gay bookstores and not in comic book stores, mainstream bookstores or newspapers. The insular nature of the world of queer cartooning, however, created a fascinating artistic scene. LGBT comics have been an uncensored, internal conversation within the queer community, and thus provide a unique window into the hopes, fears, and fantasies of queer people for the last four decades.
These comics have forged their aesthetics from the influences of underground comix, gay erotic art, punk zines, and the biting commentaries of drag queens, bull dykes, and other marginalized queers. They have analyzed their own communities, and their relationship with the broader society. They are smart, funny, and profound. No Straight Lines will be heralded by people interested in comics history, and people invested in LGBT culture will embrace it as a unique and invaluable collection.
“I discovered… what I was looking for, a queer world with stories and characters that I could recognize, that I could laugh with and care about. What I needed was a book like this: hairy legs and all.” – Lana Wachowski (The Matrix, Bound), from her introduction
“We’ve all been waiting too long for a collection like this! You must buy this book!” – Alison Bechdel (Fun Home, Dykes to Watch Out For)
