Pinned Info
Hi! My old account got nuked in the sweep of Dec 2018- five years later I'm finally starting over. My name is Nero. I draw gay comics aimed at adults. I work primarily in the genres of contemporary (Split Check) and horror (Ultraviolents), but I've dabbled in sci-fi and non-fiction. You may have seen my work in places such as Slipshine, Filthy Figments, Iron Circus Comics (I did The Poorcraft Cookbook!), The Nib, and more. I am also 1/6th of the steering committee/main web dev for The Cartoonist Cooperative (@cartoonistcoop ) and the sole head of the Adult Artists Webring.
My current comics are:
Split Check (illustrated by myself, co-written alongside Iris Jay): Nickesh, a hard-assed high-end chef, and Jaime, a scruffy experimental chef, are forced to work together on a brand-new restaurant. While sparks may fly in the kitchen, they can't keep their hands off each other in the bedroom. Updates Tues/Thurs on Slipshine.net, and Wed/Fri on Patreon.
Ultraviolents: A near-future body horror story about Sergio and Arnaldo, two men who use underground fighting and body modification as therapy. Updates Tues/Thurs for free at https://uv.itsnero.com/, with patrons always being one full month ahead of public updates.
Our Velocity: After a hookup at a basement punk show, two transgender men begin a rocky relationship full of bad decisions in rural Pennsylvania. Is it worth it to stay in a bad relationship just to be near another queer person who understands you? Coming in 2026 from Iron Circus Comics. Previews and other behind the scenes posts available on Patreon. I post art in a lot of places online- here's where you can find me:

Picarto (streaming art once a week; usually Wednesdays at 6pm PT)

I can't promise I'll use Tumblr all that often, but I'll do my best to keep up.
