I'm beyond excited to announce that I'm collaborating with my friend @comicsbycass.bsky.social on a horror anthology webcomic called DREADFULLY YOURS. She's going to start posting the first comic called Bees on her Patreon and just look at the gorgeous first panel.

We crafted something sapphic & spooky for this first @cartoonistcoop.bsky.social's Cartoonber 🎃🦇

The theme was : Reclaimed

script : @zoewithasword.bsky.social
thumbnails, pencils, lettering & tones : @willowsquest.bsky.social
inking : yours truly

One-page comic story.
Panel 1 : lightning bolt hits someone on a bed through a hole in an old house roof
2-3 : a wild looking scientist gal lowers the bed down, excitedly activating a mechanism using chains "Yes ! Yes !! My beautiful creation! my perfect creature ! You will LIVE once again !"
4 : said creature wakes up growling, a Frankenstein-like woman, with scars showing where limbs got attached to each other
5 : she looks down and notices she now has pretty HUGE boobs
6 : the scientist, looking excited and perky, waiting for a reaction "Well ?"
7 : the biggest smile appears on the "creature"s face
8 : she grabs the scientist and holds her tight, burrying her face in her new boobs
"They're JUST what I've always wanted !!"
"Donor bodies are always a challenge, but you gave EXCELLENT direction.
I don't know how much FEELING you'll have.
But obviously I'm MORE than happy to -"
9 : close up of the scientist's face, that the other one is holding in her hands, pressing her cheeks
"Vickie. Stop talking and get up here"
Smiling, delighted, the scientist/Vickie answers : "Yes, dear."

I got to do covers for Something is Killing the Children, which is insane.
It's even MORE insane that they glow in the dark.

My piece for this year @fbczine.bsky.social !!💕

🌊 Barbara the muse, the witch, the actress 🌊

#AlanWake2 #AlanWake #FBCZine

An illustration shows Barbara Jaggers standing half into the water next to the Witch's Laddle, looking up behind her shoulder at the camera. There is an old witch looking through the reflection of the waves, holding a heart. Behind her is a reflection of Witch's Laddle with bright pink light coming through threshold.

our enemies seem insurmountable but closer inspection reveals them to be weaker than they ever have been. Scrambling and terrified and confused; their warriors are cleaning garbage and hunting down mean tweets, their generals are drunks, their leader is dying, their very words burst in their throats

Demon swarm (colors altered)

A tri faced winged demon devours humans. The king demon sits on a sky scraper as if it were a throne. He bites off the heads and discards the bodies. His subjects a torent of smaller demons rise up in a chaotic flame like swarm implying a flame or fire. The scene is rendered in color but also finely etched lines. Each figure is unique. The city behind it all is in cooler blues

Watching Bring Her Back tonight and it's such a perfect movie about abusive guardians. The manipulation is so insidious and well handled

Today, try to post a movie poster that goes so hard that the movie could never, ever live up to it

A naked man in a rooster mask sitting on a toilet holding a shotgun in one hand and toilet paper in another, the poster for Mahoney's Last Stand, and from the cast, I'm going to assume that's Sam Waterston

A small bit of writing I came up with a few months back. Inspired by thoughts about introspection and queer identity. Hoping to share more little bits of writing on here
