Comic page done in warm yellows, browns and purples with black line art. Panel one is a large panel that bleeds into the left of the page, it’s coloured in a rainbow gradient with a young Gabe seen from behind as he looks up at a waterfall of various queer folks including his father and his father’s husband, the narration reads “Seeing that in him, his recognition of who he was and who he wanted to love, helped me get to that space of recognition too.” Panel two is a small thin panel of a close up of Gabe smiling and saying “Not that everyone is lucky enough to be gay and then have a gay dad.” As he waves his hand. Panel three is a large panel showing all four friends at the table, the mood has gone down again as Gabe continues saying “But we’re going to Herman’s parent’s for the long weekend and he’s really frustrated with his dad. He talks about how he dealt with all this discrimination for being Jewish and then turns around and starts being really racist and homophobic.”

I had a big deadline so here’s a practice 2 page Legend of Zelda comic that I started a while ago. I want to get better at halftones! I was inspired by Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou and wanted to try a similar layout/vibe. The next page will come out next week and then I’ll be taking… Continue reading Snow – 1

Hourly Comics Day 2025

Hourly Comics Day 2025 published on No Comments on Hourly Comics Day 2025

A badly drawn comic for "Make a Terrible Comic Day 2025" on "June 24, 2025" The comic is drawn traditionally with a black ink and no undersketch. We can see the edges of the paper. Narration reads "While out doing groceries, a true story" where Jey, a nonbinary person wearing a ball cap, a black t-shirt, shorts and big square glasses. They're holding two boxes of pastries in their hands while saying "Chocolatines? Or croissants?" the pastries are 50% off. Jey decides "Croissants today!" then turns around to leave. They're stopped by an elderly man in a wheelchair who points to the croissants and says "I wanted those!" to which Jey holds them out and says "AH! Please take them then!" the man in the wheelchair suddenly looks bashful and says "Oh no, I was joking!" and Jey shyly replies "Ooh. Okay." with an awkwardness between the two of them. Narration reads "An 8am, 40°C day fumble."
