It's just the house settling
Several years ago, when things were bad, as they are now, I made a comic about art and community in the face of hate. Today feels like a time to reshare.
Drawing a fantasy book cover.
A more in-depth process video, along with concept art for the characters, is available now for Patrons!
I'm excited to reveal a new project: The Cursed Catacombs, written by Nick Eliopulos with nearly a hundred drawings by me!
It's a playable novel, a solo RPG, a dungeon crawler in book form. Take on the role of the last living apprentice to a legendary wizard, sent out on a dangerous errand with nothing but your wits and an untrustworthy imp trapped in an orb. Chart your own path through The Cursed Catacombs and reserve your copy now, wherever you get books!

Agatha has her heart set on the stars, attracting the attention of a mysterious being from the woods known as the Lady, who intends to steal Agatha's heart for herself.
This is the first full chapter of The Pale Queen, my new dark queer fairy tale. You can read the rest of the graphic novel now, find it at your local bookstore or library, or wherever you get books!
Beware bad omens.

Childhood can be scary.
A collection of some of my hand-drawn horror looping animations!
Oh hey! This person wrote a great middle grade book called Deephaven! Gothic story about a nonbinary kid who goes to an isolated boarding school that definitely totally does NOT have any weird horrific secrets in the forbidden wing!
I suggested it for my book club a few months back and we all really enjoyed it. If y'all love the animations here, the book is also illustrated like this. (In fact I think the top and the third are depictions of the main character)
Read it!
Thanks so much for reading!
For those interested, there's also a second mystery novel in the series coming this September. As the previous poster said, they're all illustrated in this style. If queer, gothic, all-ages horror is your thing, check it out!
Psst it's spooky season now and both these books are on shelves! Here's a bonus animation based on the new novel to celebrate

THE GOBLIN
A short comic about a mysterious creature living with the monks of a secluded abbey.
I made this comic five years ago, and it's still probably one of the most personal things I've written.
If you'd like to support more of my comics, consider preordering my new graphic novel, THE PALE QUEEN, wherever you get books.
