This is a thread all about mine and @lindarrow.bsky.social's queer noir webcomic Shaderunners.com, a historical fantasy comic where the alcohol prohibition in the 1920s is instead a prohibition of COLOUR 🍸💚 The archive is big, it’s free to read, and the story is in its final act!

In Search of Absent Pigments, part 1 of 4 🩵✨ A short comic by myself and @lindarrow.bsky.social, originally published in the Come Together anthology in 2019.
A cover for the comic In Search of Absent Pigments, depicting a hand reaching for a painting of a young man. In the present, a man is looking through an art market. Many years in the past, that same man is looking up. In the past, the man is standing in his studio, looking up at a life-sized painting he has drawn of a handsome, naked young man.

Ivo and Satinder pinups! Plus a more risqué Easton in the reply for those of you who like greasy men in lingerie...
A pinup style illustration of Ivo Keys, a character from the webcomic Shaderunners. She is wearing a 1920s swimsuit and enjoying a drink at the beach, a sly expression on her face. A pinup style illustration of Satinder Hali, a character from the webcomic Shaderunners. She is sitting on a vintage car and smoking a cigarette, wearing a revealing tank-top and an easy smile.

I'm so excited to announce that I have a book series officially forthcoming! It's Beetlejuice x Bladerunner but make it Queer, funny and romantic, about ghosts technologically resurrected and left to navigate dead end jobs to support themselves. TY to @LucienneDiver!

I actually don't think I ever posted this one at all? But here it is. Not sure what I was going for with this one tbh. #iwtv #InterviewWithTheVampire
An illustration of Louis and Lestat from the TV show Interview With the Vampire. They are set against a red backdrop of a skyline, but it's pretty abstract. They are wearing the clothes they wore during the fight at the end of episode 5. Lestat's hand is covering Louis' mouth while he holds onto his waist. The mood is ominous and dark.

Random assortment of characters drawn for no reason like three years ago. I still like some of them though 🤷
An illustration of a grid showing 20 unrelated characters, some fantastical, some not. Among them are an angry little girl, a robot, an old man with two flamingos, a butch vampire, a buy with sunflowers, a mustached man with a cockatiel on his shoulder, and so on.

Another really old IWTV piece, inspired by 1920s couple photography. #iwtv #InterviewWithTheVampire
An illustration of Louis and Lestat from the TV show Interview With the Vampire. They are holding each other, or perhaps slow-dancing, against a backdrop of a large window and what appears to be a set with a moon and clouds in the foreground and stars handing from the back.
