Still figuring myself out. Trying to stay kind in a mean world. Comics, Lettering, and font nerd. Fair warning: If you bring up Star Trek, I will geek out about it! ( I like TF & TG art. I make my own, too. )

I like to draw comics, and write fiction. Here’s a link to my newest story, ‘The Dust State’. Check out the alt text for more info. If you read it, let me know what you think.

This is the cover to my story, ‘The Dust State’. It’s forty pages of sci-fi, with LGBT and specific transgender themes, (hopefully) likable characters, a creepy villain, and a surprising amount of action, as the protagonist spends most of the story as a pile of dust in a plastic container! Also, there’s some bonus art at the end, with portraits of all the major players. For mature readers, but nothing I would consider x-rated.

The first time I saw this was back in 1995, on VHS from a mom & pop video store that hadn’t been eaten up by Blockbuster yet. Had no idea what I was in for. That was a good weekend :)

These aren’t just good, they’re, like, *ridiculously* good, all in a row!

You ever feel, you know, *weird*?

#tgtf #transformation

A Short TG comic titled ‘ I feel weird.’ A young man with short black hair, wearing an orange shirt and a lavender undershirt spontaneously transforms into a young woman with long black hair. They react by saying ‘Um, wow.’ This is me making TG art with training wheels on, trying to figure out what I can do, and how to do it.

This is what I got. Honestly, not bad. But, can the final girl have nice boobs, too?

Did ‘grawlix’ start with Mort Walker’s book on the ‘lexicon of comicana’, or is there some older origin I’m not aware of? I’m pretty sure Mort coined that term, along with ‘plewds’, ‘emenata’, ‘briffits’, and many other colorful made-up words to describe common symbology in comics & comic strips.

I’ve been seeing your art for forever, at least as far back as 2006(!) One of my favorite sequences is one you did called ‘armless TG spray’. I’ve always wanted to ask you: when did that start for you, the armless thing? I happen to like it myself, but I think I got it from *you*!

Oh hey, thanks for that tutorial! I love how clear and to the point it was, and I’m definitely going to give that technique a try. Hope you’ll post more when you have time. You make really amazing art!

Whatever you’re doing, stretching limits and all that, just keep doing it, because holy shit is it ever working!

Jenn Boroh🦋 @jennboroh.bsky.social · 3d

I’ve tried animating stuff before myself, and I know, that shit is *hard*, even for basic South Park looking stuff. This is just ridiculously well done. The fact that it’s also cute and risqué is icing on the cake. So to speak.

The sheer contentment and well-being of that second picture is palpable.

And now that I’ve said that, I realize I need to prune a few more accounts. 100 really does seem to be the magic number, or close to it.

Jenn Boroh🦋 @jennboroh.bsky.social · 4d

Some of that is people farming followers, exploiting the courtesy of ‘I follow you, follow me back’. I started my account over, and now I only follow people I actually interact with.

@trianglefour.bsky.social Just picked up Femme Fight off of WeChange. Great art as always, and had me laughing every other page, too! Tanner & Stephan are a perfect pair of boobed dudebro boobs. Looking forward to what happens next!

I know you’re not one to interact much on social media, but I really appreciate it when you take the time to talk about the craft of making comics. Your notes are always useful, and seeing them presented with your witty asides just makes them that much better. Thank you!

I really shouldn’t be surprised the Guillermo is a fan of Berni Wrightson. God, could that man draw!

People with that much money are too Dunning Krugered to understand that money is all they have

Watch until the end. It warms my heart to see such epic trolling.

I watched a lot of sci-fi anime in the ‘90s. The future was always selfish, callous, wealthy elites in cushy walled-off lives, with everybody else miserable and scrounging, just to get by. Kinda wish that stuff had stayed fiction.

Jenn Boroh🦋 @jennboroh.bsky.social · 10d

As soon as I’m well again, I just have to put my own spin on this. This simple idea is just so *comforting*.

Jenn Boroh🦋 @jennboroh.bsky.social · 10d

Reminds me of this, from @snickerlewdles.bsky.social , a little ways back…

Can I just say how thankful I am for the nice words about the goofy little sketch I did of this.

I'm really happy this one resonated with people so much, not just in the #TF community but in the #Trans community as well.

I'm thankful I have peeps like you in my life

We all deserve to be happy
