I Have Created A Rug.

Lestat, Louis, and Armand, all as variations of Pierrot. Done with Molotow and Posca paint pens, and color pencil.

Lestat's costume is mostly based on the painting of Pierrot by Jean-Antoine Watteu in 1718. Louis' Pierrot is based on the costume worn by Jean-Charles Deburau, as photographed by Nadar in the 1850s. Despite being the oldest vampire, Armand's costume is the most contemporary, as it's based on the 1975 film "The Adventures of Buratino." This is because Armand is a Theater Nerd (Lestat is a Theater Gay, there is a difference) and he thinks that outfit is the most inventive.

I will post a scan of the finished piece tomorrow, when I feel like I can deal with the undertaking that scanning a wooden panel will be.

maskedjoker replied to your photoset: I really hope this is a joke. I don’t think it’s a very good message for men to clean better by saying “women deserve better” I mean seriously. Again, if it’s truly only a joke and not at all serious fine. But if it isnt.    This particular chapter is meant somewhat facetiously. I mean, the most important thing I learned since going on testosterone was not that people with hairy butts need to wipe more; I’ve learned and realized far more important things.

That said... I don’t see how “men should clean their asses for the good of the world and the comfort of their partners” is not a good message.

Hey I just wanted to tell you that that Bart Chris Bobby counseling cartoon made my day as well as a buddy of mine. Just wanted to thank you

Thank you for messaging me!

No question, I just wanted to say that your strip "Clients’ names and personal information have been omitted to retain their privacy" was the coolest thing I've seen in a long, long time.  Really amazing!

Thank you!

Will you be making any more comics about Bart and Chris, perhaps going to more therapy sessions or digging a little deeper into their personal lives together?

I might? But probably not for awhile. I’ve drawn and posted everything that I’d already planned. I have several other art projects that I’m working on and my next quarter of grad school starts in a couple of days, so I’ll be very busy.

wow, the second half of the comic is just as incredible! the poly ending is so nice and feelgood, and the therapy setting is so cathartic I just. it's so good. thank you.

Aw, thank you! As much as I like dark, brooding, morally ambiguous movies, books, and comics, I’m still a sucker for happy endings. Especially for queer characters. And I feel like Bobby is the kind of person that could balance poly relationships pretty well.

i mean i love everything about your therapy comics but can i mention how much i love that joseph has an alien tattoo on his shoulder? that's my favorite part honestly

:D glad you like it! at first I just thought it would be cool, but then I was like “wow that’s actually really symbolic of joseph’s ethnic heritage and the bio father vs lived father conflict” and took it super seriously

hey can i ask you something? years ago i remember seeing a blog with a queer transgender man persona/self insert who wore a mask and i was deeply in love with that blog. was that you? i'm sorry if this is a weird or insulting question, its just your art styles seem very similar and this question was killing me

ahhh, yeeeah, that was me. I had some family find my art blog and so I took down all my personal comics. I may repost them at some point because it’s like, those family members have already seen them and I know they still check this blog, so cat’s already out of the bag or whatever. I didn’t want to change my blog name or my pen name because changing that 50 million time makes it kind of hard to develop a “brand” or reputation as an artist. glad you liked those comics tho.

Get three digital (PDF) versions of my comics, "Queer Code," "Emet," and "Seven Hundred and Seventy Eight Days," and two SECRET EXTRA COMICS.

(If you want to know what the secret extra comics are, see here)

Queer Code: An exploration/rant about "queer coding" in horror film and canon queers in pop culture; includes a recommendation guide to 20+ of my favorite horror films.

Emet: A short story about a woman and a Golem

Seven Hundred and Seventy Eight Days: Five comix on life and learning after seven hundred and seventy-eight days on testosterone.

This bundle costs less than what it would have cost to buy all five of these comics separately!

“Rich Forest of Breath & Burrow”

12x12, acrylic, thread, and bone

I just dropped off this piece at @pushpullseattle, for their art and poetry show “Stanza,” which opens Thursday the 18th!

There will also be a limited run of books with the pieces from the show, and the original poems that inspired them.

Completed my first “useful” weaving — a rag rug made of four panels woven together.

Between my internship and the Asbestos Apartment Boogaloo, I haven’t really gotten to work on a painting since March.

My first run at this portrait, about 2 hrs of work, not including the initial sketch. Trying to get faster and looser with portraits.

The life of a mixed media artist is always intense.

grad school has helped me level up my procrastination skills

while avoiding reading and homework, I taught myself how to use Sculptris and created a bust of a character for a huge sprawling comic that may never actually happen!

I’m pretty pleased, what with this being my first sculpt and all.
