So, we have a horror Kickstarter coming up that is, quite literally, six years in the making: It’s called PATERFAMILIAS, and its a book that delves into the sheer terror of an abduction, but heightened with a sense of the unknown. www.kickstarter.com/projects/sid...

WE ARE NOW LIVE AND LAUNCHING A STRONGER, MORE LOVING WORLD!

Laugh Riot #1 is a 24-page comic book hat can only be described as Looney Tunes versus 1984. It's an anti-fascist thrill ride of japes, play, and good old fashioned ultra-violence!

THE GHOSTKEEPER came out this year! 👻
It’s about taking care of yourself, learning to set boundaries, and coping w grief/death/loss, and it’s 🌈queer🌈

It’s been called “a warm blanket nest”, “gentle and powerful”, and “surprisingly creepy” 👻 so it’s the total package!

theghostkeeper.carrd.co

A page from my comic in which prudence pulled a knife on Dorian because she thinks he’s a ghost

“ Take time to be sad. You’re not a bad child Lucy, you’re a hurt child. Give yourself permission to grieve for the way things were and then see if you can reach outside your sadness to a more neutral place. Only then, can the rot start to heal.”

I can’t wait to be able to share what’s next for what started as a short comic idea Penny and I came up with together 3 years ago.

I had soup for dinner last night and leftover soup for lunch. One of my top 10 favorite feelings is being filled with almost, but not quite, too much soup.
