Here's the first half of my 8-page comic coming out in the anthology Concrete Arcanum: Living With Monsters

26 days left on the Kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/nat...

Below I'll explain it a bit!

title/first page of The Dance by Jack Taylor showing a statue of a trans man wearing workout clothes. He lifts his arm dramatically to the sky. He is draped in police tape.

second page. a woman with red hair looks up at the statue while other people in the nearly empty square rush away, glancing with curiosity and concern. It's dusk and a jacaranda tree covered in purple flowers is in the background

night now, the woman from before returns in a pink dress. pink grafitti directs her with arrows and says "join the dance" across the plinth where the statue stood. the statue is no longer on the plinth, but a stone eagle perches there. A gargoyle flies past the woman, surprising her

page 4, the woman follows the gargoyle into a happy night time party with creatures and people meeting happily. there are statue cats, a tortoise and hare, a jobber, and others meeting. The man from the statue before looks up at the gargoyle

All the stories are wonderfully fun. Also, the back cover makes me smile every time I see it.

I did the thing. I have opened the document I have been trying to open all day. Maybe I can write a single page of comic before bed. Just going to stare blankly at this cursor for a while first.
