@kristyvalenti.bsky.social of @comicsjournal.bsky.social was kind enough to interview me about the changing landscape of syndication and comic strips during my time at King Features! I hope you enjoy it! www.tcj.com/king-feature...

Life advice for the ages. Those doing wrong want you tired and hopeless. But stay angry. And when a chance is in front of you: bite back. Digital plans for a real linocut. I'm anxiously awaiting a press to make this stuff possible with my RSI in my hands. #art #tiger #resist #linocut

There's a new comic up on my website! This week we meet a new furry friend. Today is hourly comics day, so sometime next week I'll get those comics uploaded on Ko-Fi for y'all to read. #transartist #columbusohio #officedog

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

Working on a (small) page buffer for my webcomic so i can afford to go to bed at 6pm on fridays 💪

Drew this last year for the CAC Anthology: Rites, Rituals, and Ceremonies. I have ideasssss about using this character in a future comic. 👀 #myart

I think if a book is out of print for a certain amount of time (say 5-10 years) all rights should automatically revert back to the writer/artist to republish it with a different company.

Bike Problems Part 5 is up on my website now! houseoflief.com/comi... #transartist #bikelife #webcomic

I have a new logo! I'm currently working through all the admin prep needed to get ready for SPACE 2025, like redoing my branding and printing business cards.

look, i'll tell you this much: i've tried many different things to fix crashed or malfunctioning computers in my time, and of these, propitiating the machine spirit is probably the only one that's never made a situation *worse*

New page up for my webcomic, houseoflief.com/comi... #webcomicseries #sliceoflife #transcomicartist
