ANNOUNCEMENT: My final comic from New Zealand is finally seeing print! BOY'N'SEA is coming to Kickstarter next week!

What do you do when your world feels impossibly small? You get to sea.

Coming soon: Boy'n'Sea - A graphic novella about running away to sea

When you realize there's nothing left to do on land, the only adventure that makes sense is stealing a big ass boat

Wanna read a heartbreaking horror memoir piece about emotional stasis and the crippling fear of making room for someone new?

Within the space of an hour this morning I had the same person like my picture, send me a reminder about their birthday party and unsubscribe from my mailing list.

I missed you too, Busy Fishlips. Happy to be home in LA, even if it's just for a few days.

Day 7 of #cocktober is this spooky little champ!

Nah, it was actually books 7 through 12, but good guess!

I formatted 15 books for print today. I also drew 5 dicks. Guess which was more fun.

So, my method is to think of the page I need, then to remember what I was doing when I drew it so I can approximate a date. Literally every page I have colored and lettered is still in my 'scans' folder labeled as the date and time it was scanned.

Richard Fairgray @richardfairgray.bsky.social · 5d

I haven't labelled a file correctly since 2004 and I'm now trying to find and format books drawn in 2013. Anyway, I just found a script for an entire Ghost Ghost book I never made.

I think my dad backing a kickstarter project of mine for the first time and selecting 'no reward' speaks volumes about how my family view my career.
