#Comics folks, I need you to pull up to this one.

The world sucks right now, and we have the opportunity to do a little bit of good for a displaced and marginalized member of our community. Please join me in supporting this KS campaign!

www.kickstarter.com/projects/den...

If you're somebody who values supporting marginalized voices in comics, here's your chance to put your money where your values are!

The writer of this RINGO NOM’D INDIE COMIC (and a very dear friend of mine) is a Syrian Refugee who has been through more continuous hardships than I have space to list here; constantly navigating visa applications, unstable living conditions, predatory landlords (limited options as a refugee).

Anas just wants to make comics and live a normal life like what so many of us take for granted. Backing this campaign will help Anas to take the next step toward freedom and autonomy, helping to fund a move to another country with more stable employment options. This is truly one of the most important comics purchases you will ever make.

Middle Eastern and North African comics creators are some of the most underrepresented in the comics industry of the western world. Anas isn’t running a GoFundMe to support this move, and is not asking for charity. Simply, Anas is using their talent for storytelling, along with Dennis’ gorgeous art, to offer you a beautiful experience in the comics medium, that also goes toward funding a better life for Anas.

I’m so proud of Anas, and humbled by their experiences and perseverance. I would like to see Anas’ Dream realized, and I’d love to see this community help to make that happen. Please join me in pledging to the Etheres Kickstarter campaign! (link below).

That’s fair. Tough to throw time and money at these kinds of gauntlets. So many more hurdles than typical

Things aren't looking super great right now, so if you have any art you need done, I'm very available. I've worked with Ahoy, IDW, Legendary, Oni, Image, and plenty of amazing indie writers. My portfolio is down below.

From 2020-2023 my peers and I did these query events. We used to get so much interaction and responses from others trying and comics pros. Now we feel largely ignored.

What contributed to lack of community with these things? Did people get jaded because they didn’t lead to many opportunities?

Hey everyone!

A MANGAKA, A KAIJU, AND OMEGA
is now live!

This manga one-shot is beautifully drawn by @lurnoise.bsky.social and is written by me.

For fans of Godzilla Minus One, Alien, and Ultraman comes a survival story that is as visceral as it is psychological.

Don't let the somewhat scary appearance of the Knight scare you, he's actually really nice.

Joyful Knight

In the land of Catatonia, gnomes hide underground from the monsters prowling outside. A young, hopeful gnome rebels and seeks the surface, encountering a mysterious knight, monstrous perils and the journey of a lifetime.

Art by Sandu Ana-Maria.

His friends laugh at him for being so preposterous with the fake girlfriend details but when a new girl arrives at school matching the description he told them, comedy ensues.
