In Doing Hourly Comic Day, I Am Reminded Of Why I Don’t Do Hourly Comic Day

The life of a mixed media artist is always intense.

I always imagined Naruto as one of those blondes who tans very easily.

It took me a LOT of erasing and restarting to get Naruto's face the way I wanted. These poses where he's calm and doesn't have his big fat mouth open probably occur for milliseconds.

Dreamed that I was on a road trip with some friends. The car was very full, so I had to sit crouched on the shoulder of the passenger seat. The person seated in the passenger seat looked like Benedict Cumberbatch and I think we were dating. We drove through a small southern town, and I could tell where the queer kids hung out. A bar and a hair salon and a gas station, with 80's goth queer kids hanging out in front, smoking and drinking. On one hand, I was envious that these queers knew just where to go to meet people like themselves, but on the other hand I recognized how few of them were in that small town and how isolated they must feel. We drove along a high way at night. The person shifted from looking like Benedict Cumberbatch, to looking like W., to looking like A., and then finally looking like a combination of all three of them. I told him that I wasn't good at dancing. When a song came on the radio, he pulled over on the side of the highway and left the car door open so that the music could be heard outside. On the side of the road at night, he rested his hands on the small of my back and we danced slowly. The roadtrip (and the dream) ended with us sitting in a forest clearing, dressed in togas, watching a production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream."

The Artistic Process

I’m here, I’m queer, and I’m gonna put my little gay hands all over everything.

So I wanted to do some comix on my thoughts/experiences since I've been on testosterone for over a year now and pretty consistently get "read" as a cisgender guy.

But I was like "Ugh, do I really want to do ANOTHER autobio comic? I'm bored of drawing myself."

And then I remembered that I'm an artist and I can actually CREATE CHARACTERS AND MAKE THEM SAY STUFF. So here are some doodles of the various trans dudes that will be in the comic. It'll be like that Bob Dylan movie where a bunch of different people play Bob Dylan.

...except a comic book.

...and I'm not famous.

...and none of these people look like me.
