ErikaMoen post November Bullshit Round-Up from patreon

In spite of the days getting shorter and darker in November, I did, bravely (heroically!) manage to make some art. Here it is. No applause needed (but it is welcomed)

ESSAY: A Motherfucking Bad Ass

Content Note: This writing describes medical injury on my reproductive organs.

I managed to wait until the clinicians left the room before I doubled over on the exam table sobbing.

In the last dozen or so years I'd already gone through multiple IUD insertions ...

PROJECT: A Crowning Achievement

ErikaMoen post PROJECT: A Crowning Achievement from patreon

Halloween was upon us and I didn't really have a costume. But I did have a hand-me-down technicolor swimsuit, black tights, a weird kind of mini-top with long sleeves, and stretchy gold fabric.

My destiny was obvious:

Project: MOMS ON MARS

ErikaMoen post Project: MOMS ON MARS from patreon

As a comic artist-- one who specializes in sex education and autobiographical stories- I was honestly confused when two scientists approached me to design functional clothing for pregnant people to wear on Mars. 

What?

PROJECT: A Patchwork Coat

My friend Ben Coleman has a jacket that he wore daily for ten years. It served him well! But you wear something that much for a decade and it's just a matter of time before it accrues some battle damage.

Hey so we’re like at the end of August. My friend’s twins started school this week (Not even September! I think it should be illegal to have school start before September) and I’m like lowkey panicking because the summer is almost over and I’m scared I haven’t Made The Most of these sweet hot months before the rain ...

Four days ago I turned 41 years old (June 25th!) and, while I do believe I am still a wide-eyed idiot baby, I do also recognize that I do know a thing or two about a thing or two.

A selection of my art from the high school years, 1999 - 2002. Actually, I think these may have all been around 2001, when I was 17-18?

Listen. This post is a whole lotta bullshit but there are some garden before-and-after photos, so you might like that.

my brain is really fuzzy right now. Fuzzy and distracted, like in a chemical-y way. Oh, the above photo is from January this year.
