A double-soft-launch
The Beginning
Okay hey!
First off thanks for subscribing and hanging out for a couple minutes.
It means a lot that you’re interested enough in my, let’s be honest—highly eclectic mix of interests and meandering art styles.
This newsletter will serve as a more centralized jumping point for updates on my projects, convention and festival appearances, and general art-related endeavors.
My plan is to eventually relaunch my patreon in conjunction with efforts toward a kickstarter campaign. Ergo: double-soft-launch.
The plan is to get my graphic novel, Hexslingers, out of my head and into your hands.
The wider publishing industry, in its current state, does not have a place for Katie Heck and her Hexslinger cohorts, and so self-publishing is the way to go.
More to come soon.
In the mean time…
The Middle
Hexslingers will have its own soft-launch this coming Saturday, April 12, 2025 at the Rochester Indie Comics Expo (RICE) in Rochester, NY.
RICE is being held at
Sibley Square
240 E. Main St., Rochester, NY 14604
On Saturday April 12, 2025 from 11am-4pm!

RICE is an incredible show! I’ve had the fortune of tabling there for the past couple years and this year I will be debuting Hexslingers as it currently exists: 18 Pages of genuine(jen-you-wine) full color comics, written and drawn by yours truly(that’s me).
The booklet also includes information about the comic and some older concept art as backmatter.
I’m really looking forward to having this out in the world for the first time.
And, understandably, if you’re not able to make it to this show, fear not! I’ll soon have it available for ordering from my Etsy Store, and eventually digital versions as well!
I guess that brings us to…
The End
Again thank you from the bottom of my heart for subscribing.

In the mean time you can find me at the following places, sharing art or generally being a weirdo:
Bluesky
Instagram
Tumblr(yes really)
Etsy
Thanks so much!
See y’all again on down the trail, saddle-pals.
