I finished this Batman/Robin comic for a show back in February.  You may remember me talking about reading this in a Robin costume at Mission Comics in front of a huge crowd of people.  If not, please imagine me reading it to you in this fashion.  This is explicit and silly and not safe for work, so be warned!

ps, I realize my lettering is horrid… I always think it will be better than the finished product.  Working on it!

Bonus points will be awarded if you can identify the public domain fiddle tune being performed. Many thanks to my special lady friend for translating it to paper for us.

Artist Comment: Photoshop is amazing. Warp all the sheet music for panel borders

Girl your layouts are just getting more and more stunning. Everyone look at the amount of work evident on this spread!

I am sick at home for the whole week with strep throat and infected tonsils but thankfully art can be done sitting down.  Lately I’ve been doing a lot of figure drawing to keep in shape!  But fairy tales call to me, there’s so many to choose from to be made into homo-comedies. :>

“Girl reading comic book in newsstand” by Teenie Harris (c. 1940-1945) © 2006 Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh

That sound you hear is thousands of wangsting sexist fanboys shrieking in horror.

Suck it.

My mom read and collected Golden/Silver Age comics. She had the #1 issues of Superman, Bat Man, Wonder Woman, etc. My grandmother threw them out, and every time my mom talks about it, which isn’t often, she still gets upset.

My parents bought me lots of comics as a kid because I looooved them.  I suppose it helped that my dad likes comics also; I read through his Thorgal collection way before it was age appropriate.  My cousins had stacks and stacks of Duck Comics, Moomintroll comics, Kajko i Kokosz, Tytus Romek i Atomek, Kleks, Asterix and Obelix, and my parents bought me many of the same titles.  The European comics industry was (is?) quite different from the American one.  Some titles were for adults, many were for kids, but there was no perception that they were for boys only.  When I hear “comics industry”, it frequently takes me a moment to remember, oh, right, here that is still usually a euphemism for the superhero stuff put out by the Big 2.  How sad.

Finished with my Anything That Loves submission!!  Will update everyone when it comes out. :D

Working on this, I listened to Kid Cudi’s new album over and over, and watched nearly 2 seasons of Ru Paul’s Drag Race (Team Jinkx!!!), Parks and Rec, a really depressing documentary about  Aileen Wuornos, and a bunch of soothing ASMR videos. I feel a little creepy turning those up for hours at a time.

Working working working on that Anything That Loves submission… Just a few days left until deadline!  I got a new desk recently and while I don’t know about the wisdom of putting a 50 pound scanner that high above my head, all the clutter is sliiiightly more organized now.

The tiny CSC zine fest was pretty chill.  I’m considering going back to small cons like ZineFest, but I feel a little stagnated with my current merchandise, which hasn’t changed for a long time.  I’m sure it’s obvious I’ve struggled with Acrobats for a long time, and in part that is the length of the story.  It’s much easier to feel accomplished banging out a 20 page comic, and getting it printed and selling it.  So I that’s been my focus lately.  I have a handful of short stories rattling around my art folder right now and at some point they will all come together for an anthology.  The only thing I’m worried about is that they’re rather disjointed thematically and a few of them are really goofy porn…  I like to think that’s symptomatic of my *~multi dimensional talents~*, tho.

OK, back to work!!
