Damaged (pg.7)
Happy Memorial Day, everybody! It's monday, and in the world of marginalized publications that means new comic book page day! Also, back to my "Feral" story. I think the "Questioning Authority" distraction did my work some good, though. I feel more loose... and I think I work a little better that way.
Anyway, enjoy. ...

I know it's dark, but I can't help but channel Bill Sienkiewicz circa late 80's when I do something like this. I can't help but think of Alan Moore and Sienkiewicz's Shadowplay story from the docudrama graphic novel "Brought to Light...

Allo Droogies!
I'm putting the finishing touches on the comic "questioning authority", and here's the back cover. I'll be finishing up the front cover tonight. Thanks for suffering through it with me, and if you are a patron, I'd like to send you a hard copy as a show of thanks, just send me your mailing address and I will sen...

Phew! It's the last page. Now I can stop analyzing how fucked up the world is and get back to doing some work that isn't making me want to slash my wrists.

I thought I was done! jeez! 1 more after this. 16 is a nice round, square rooted number. I hope you all realize it's tough coming up with 4 editorial cartoons a page. Conceptual art ain't easy. LOLz.
I <3 Social Media
I have struggled a bit with posting this, because it depicts an actual interaction (or a paraphrasing thereof) with a friend over social media. This was, obviously, last year when Black Lives Matter interrupted a Sanders rally in Seattle, and Bernie gave them the mic. It was the first time I encountered anyone who was anti-Berni...

Wrapping this up soon. I've written a couple one-shot addenda that will be about my lovely experience with social media and politics this past year. Will be VERY glad to have this out of my system.

I wasn't sure this story would have a proper ending to it, but as I was writing I realized that it did actually have a full arc to it, something auto-biographical stories don't always have. I also opened up the palette a bit more than previous pages, but still kept it limited.
I wish Bent-Con had ended up differently, bu...

I have given up on the hand lettering, I can't focus on it enough to do it decently.
So here's the main point, why I think this election is do or die. I've written up an ending to this, so probably 2 or 3 more pages to go. It feels good to have an end in site, even if I am dropping the part where I talk about the details...

Hey I hope to wrap this up soon.
I had hoped to be done with it by now, but sincerely, researching for this just makes my soul hurt. It was so much easier to just ignore it and think "what the hell does anything I do have a chance on making a difference" and go back to trying to have a satisfying life. The political worl...

Commission
I thought I'd share a commission I did recently, 1 of 2, for Keith.
It will be cut into a wood panel! Can't wait to see what it looks like. I'll post more when I have pics.

Jack Diddley is wearing the "eat the rich" shirt. Jack is the sort of leader of "the rejected", a group of misfit punks living in a squat somewhere off of what looks like the 210 freeway. Jack was my punk rock crush, and now that I think about it, my first boyfriend looked like him. The Ghost Skater has a "T.R." tattoo on his...

I may change the title to "duty now for the future".
This was a little harder than previous ones, I'm having to really organize my thoughts in a different way than the previous semi-auto-bio section. This is more conceptual, but with a need to be concrete.
Bonus points if anyone gets the t-shirt refer...

In case you hadn't noticed, I used a limited palette for this story, a different one on each page. It's fun.

Hey my droogies!
Thanks for hanging in here with me on this. This political season has my head about to explode, and working on the next part has just brought me down to the point where I just want to stick my head in the sand like everyone else. There's just so much at stake and it's reduced to rooting for sports teams.&n...

I know this one may piss some ppl off, it's not meant to. I apologize if it's drier than previous pages, but I didn't want to draw Mr. President in 4 different panels that would probably look like I was really going after him. Like I said, I do like him, and decided a serious portrait-style drawing of him would help portra...

Stuck in the '00s (pg.5)
I didn't think there'd be so much unpacking in the time since 9/11, but I suppose it makes sense. I'll see if I can't get out of this decade with the next one.

Maybe two more of these "history" ones to go.
BTW, my sister and I made up and are the bestest of pals, now.

Two days later and it's page 3! Like I said, I need to get this out there.
So far, this is my favorite page, it touches on a lot of things I've wanted to go into depth, investigating in a comic form. Someday I would like to have all of my auto-bio stuff online and hot-linked between the various stories.

Again, since I am taking a break from "damaged" to do my political schtick, here's another page from "cons" which is in the Alphabet anthology.
Lot's of anxiety in this page.
