It’s been over a year since I made my own comics. What a journey! I usually upload new comics every Wednesday because it’s NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY everywhere (especially at your local comics shops). Here’s a few things I was able to accomplish in my absence.
1. Complete Issue 2 of The Magic Glasses
2. Color the first issue of Heavens Bastards by Pierce Elliott and Donovan Peterson
3. Coordinate, edit, and crowd fund with Kickstarter for the first time to produce Queens Comic Anthology
4. Travel to Denver for the first time with nominations for comic zine awards
5. Travel to Amazing Con in Arizona for a free table
6. Commit to two rounds of group therapy
7. Start a Pinay Podcast called Bruha Baddies with Rosalina Trinidad
8. Run an annual Women’s Leadership College Program
9. Planning to attend two amazing leadership programs in the fall: Spark Women’s Retreat (where I get to be a leader) and Girls Leadership (attending on scholarship)
10. Plan and execute two Artist Spotlights at Alternate Reality Comics
11. Increase my mentor ships with high school students and adults
12. Help plan a Comic & Zines fest with activist colleagues Gina Parham, Nicole Espinosa, and Tiff Stiles.
13. Partner with a number of start up groups on getting the word out about their amazing goals like Womxn’s Coffeehouse, Snazzy Publishing, GALS Las Vegas, and NVTESOL.
It’s been a fruitful year. I am happy to make comics that celebrate the introvert & extrovert relationship I have with the person I love most.
