I worked on this three-page comic for the all women’s anthology Dirty Diamonds only to realize that they print in black and white! Luckily, the watercolors and inks still came out great in grayscale! Definitely go check out the Kickstarter that just started to pick up a copy on this beautiful theme of existence and being! So many talented artists are in this, so I can’t wait to see the final book!!!

Here's a comic I made about being asexual for Dirty Diamonds #8!

Here’s my comic for the Dirty Diamonds Vol. 8 - Sex;

“It’s Only a Fantasy”

Little bit of history on this comic; when I agreed to be a contributor, I had a different idea from the one you see now. “Sex at 20 vs Sex at 30″ - it was to be light and funny, similar to the work I usually create. Two weeks before submission, while I was still traveling in the Philippines, my personal life was completely turned upside down and I found myself heartbroken (again). I had no idea how I would summon the strength to make this comic. I wanted to quit. Then came a flood of support from the two publishers (Kelly and Claire - you are actual superheroes) - I scrapped my original idea and came up with something to reflect my current feelings. I spent a few days working at the lovely Blue Sky Center in the rural town of New Cuyama and, using an entire notepad of post-its, wrote and re-wrote this story until it accurately captured what was in my heart. Many tears and lots of edits later, this 3-page diddy emerged. A very personal comic to me indeed. My hope is that whomever is reading this can relate and find some comfort here. 

Oh hopeless romantic, you are not alone.

(Please note this comic is NSFW and rated R for sexual content)

I've got a story in Dirty Diamonds 8: Sex, a comic anthology on Kickstarter! Only $12 gets you the book PDF, $25 for PDFs of the whole Dirty Diamonds series, and $35 for a bound copy of the newest book! Plus great add-ons like bookplates, pins, prophylactics and more!

Meanwhile, the Built on Strange Ground comic anthology Kickstarter was a great success--even netting us bonuses--so thank you for your support of comics and artists!!! :D
