Hello!! (This is my first ever ask!! :D)

I picked up Hello, Sunshine without knowing about it beforehand, and I LOVEEED it. So first off, beautiful book. You have a new fan, for sure.

But my question! There's a lot of moments in the book where Alex has music playing or that he mentions (which is so cool??). I've made a Spotify playlist with the ones mentioned in the book, but for a playlist, it's a little short (which makes sense).

Were there other songs you had in mind for Alex that were never put in the book? Any other music artists?

Once again, fantastic work, amazing book. I'll be forcing all my friends to read <3

Yay I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! Thank you so much!! And YES I absolutely did! Here's a longer "official" playlist (the one I actually listen to is like 8 days worth of tunes haha but this one is nice and curated): Hello Sunshine Official Soundtrack on Spotify

And here are the tracks for anyone who just wants to just take a look or make their own!

It's my book's birthday!! I worked so hard on Hello Sunshine for 3 and a half years, and it's the most important and best thing I've ever done in my life, and I'm so, so, so excited for everybody to finally get to read it!!

"Hello Sunshine is a horror mystery GN about a boy who comes back from bible camp to find out that his secret boyfriend, Alex, is missing after a very public mental breakdown."

You can find it in bookstores now but it's also available to order online or as an ebook!

P.s. it's my birthday in 9 days too haha

Not an ask but I just got my pre-order in the mail. Looking forward to reading it you did a wonderful job it was *way way* bigger of a comic than I was expecting this must have been a ton of work!!!

YES it is a hefty book hahaha. I hope you enjoy it!!

Yes, it should be available for order to most bookstores and comic shops! Good luck!!

Don't worry, she's immune!

Here's the description on the paperback back cover btw! If you wanted to know more about the story~

Preorders!

[keezybees]

the character sheets for Hello Sunshine drew my attention. do you know if it's getting an EU/UK release? shipping is ridiculous these days and even ebooks can be finicky due to regions.

I believe it will be available in all English-language territories at least, and possibly others (but we'll know more closer to release date). I don't really know more than that unfortunately, it's a bit complicated and out of my wheelhouse, sorry about that!

[keezybees]

Hey! Hello Sunshine looks really interesting, will there be a way to purchase it from Mexico? Thanks in advance!

Hopefully! We'll know more about whether it will be released in other regions a little closer to release date (although you might be able to order it from Amazon in some places now...?)

[keezybees]

Hi bby i can't seem to pre-order your lovely comic book on the link you shared. Is there a button somewhere that i'm overlooking?

Yeah you have to choose a seller (links below the place where you choose format)! We're supposed to be vendor-agnostic, so we can't link directly to a place to buy, sorry about that haha

This isn't my actual book, it's just a cover printout proof for color testing purposes, but I cut and folded it to look like a book so I can pretend 🤫

Preorders!

Do you/would you put your art on a shirt website, like redbubble or something similar?

I have a Threadless shop!
