Leaving Substack, New Comics, New Essay
Hey folks! I’ve been waiting until I had a new fun thing to announce before I posted an update, and it’s finally here! Earlier this year the rad Rick V. asked me if I wanted to do a split zine of daily diary comics for the month of February. It’s officially for sale over on Rick’s shop! Over 30 pages of diary comics for just nine bucks, go check it out!
I’m emailing you from Buttondown because I will no longer be using Substack. Lots of folks have been talking about the prevalence of far-right Substacks and how they are not just allowed on the platform, but actively supported and encouraged. I don’t wanna mess with that, so I imported my subscriber list over to buttondown.
I just wrote an essay about being a mostly-homebound disabled person and how my disabilities inform my art practice. I posted it to Patreon and made it free and public, you can check it out here.
