Oracle - New Comic!

Hello!

I've been thinking a lot about A.I. art and the future and so I drew this comic about a TikToker from the future who interprets A.I. Art Images as if she were reading the symbols and themes of old renaissance paintings.

I'm currently pitching it around-first to The New York...

I drew this for fun(???) A few days ago! I wanted to draw some queers looking over some personal ads. Im thinking of making it a lil poster for $5+ Patreon supporters! More on that next week!


In the meantime, I’m going on a mini book tour so if you’re in Baltimore or San Fran...

First!!! 🌟 Patreon messed up and moved their billing state to Ireland, meaning ma y of their monthly charges were flagged as fraudulent! Also with this glitch, a lot of supporters were dropped from supporting creators they otherwise would continue supporting. My supporters went down by 30 peop...

Science Pages

Last year I wrote a comic we're currently just calling  "The Scientist Comic" for MadCave/Maverick! It's on its way to publication for 2024. It was a bunch of fun to write and I'd love more comic gigs like this one! ALSO! Everyone in it is gay! Hallelujah!

Here's some of the fantasti...

Unhinged Draft

Hello! It's been a hot minute. I've been working hard on my script for Unhinged, my next graphic novel. It's been slow going and tbh quite stressful! I went from feeling very solid and finished with this comic to feeling like it needed a LOT of work. Previous feedback was overwhelmingly positive ...

Cover mock-up!

It's becoming real!!!!!! I need to have the editors change a few things! Does the inside flap of the book description seem too wordy? I think I can shorten it to make it snappier/more enticing to read!

thanks all for your support! <3 <3 means the world to me, honestly!

You got hired to write a comic, now what??

A new project I'm working on is an interesting gig. I am usually either approached with a script (like for short non-fiction comics) written by someone else that I illustrate, or I pitch a comic idea to editors in hope that they pick me to write (and sometimes illustrate) the story.

What We Make Comic

Here's a comic I drew for The Nib, an interview between Sarah Mirk and Jiz Lee! I feel really lucky they asked me to illustrate this one! I love Jiz Lee and am always down to create comics for The Nib!

It's been a very slow month, just some comic writing work and figuring out how to get m...

Hello hello!

I don't believe I posted a single update last month--apologies! If you know, you know. If you don't: I lost my mother and the day I returned home my dog passed away. As you can imagine, I needed to take quite a break and canceled all my work and am just now trying to catch up...

Hardcover book design!

So I drew the cover for Mimosa, but that’s the hardcover jacket which means I get to draw SO MANY MORE ELEMENTS for this book. The book under the jacket can be any color/design. Since the jacket is a dark green, ombré with the characters on the front and back, I’m thinking of playing with th...

Meet Jo!

Grounded, guarded, and juggling multiple jobs, Jo was a delight to draw in the book! While her initial reactions are more reserved than my other characters, there's several times when I got to draw h...

Unhinged Roughs

I've wrote a FULL SCRIPT for Unhinged for my novel workshop class! Sadly, ITS A MESS?! and I doubt it'll be legible for you all, but I might share a couple pages in case you want to see the process. These are three double page spreads featuring the trio of characters on a hike. This takes place i...

Elise and Alex!

Random pages! First two are Elise job hunting while doing my favorite activity: eating chips in bed. The last page is a scene of all the ways Alex is being successful with Grind, the dance night, and getting attention. He's living his best life! Too bad his friends can't say the same!

Bookstore!

Here's a sweet little MEET CUTE in the bookstore!! Featuring Raquel! These were super fun pages to draw and it was also a fun scene to write. I love the idea of "meet cute"--meeting someone new in a way that's random and spontaneous! I really like drawing a flustered Jo too, she gets caught off-g...
