My comic came out this year! I think it would make a really nice end-of-2024 treat :>

lavendercloudscomic.carrd.co
A photo of my comic, Lavender Clouds. It is a hardback square book with a drawing of Bex in the middle. She is sat on a pile of clouds, and there are clouds all around the cover. The subtitle reads "Comics about Neurodivergence and Mental Health". The clouds are pink and have foiling to make them shiny. The drawing of Bex has spot gloss. A comic about self acceptance. Bex contemplates her life amongst a clouds sky. The text reads, "I used to long for clear skies. I felt like I was drowning in an ocean of grey while everyone else's world was so full of colour. The clouds made it hard to see clearly but after a while, I figured out how to be OK with them. The sky doesn't need to be clear to be beautiful. A comic. Bex laughs confidently in a few different posts. She says, "haha, look at me go! Being charming and cracking jokes like a little socialite. I'm completely nailing this." She falls to her knees with her hands on her head, cringing at herself, "haha, wow, I'm ABSOLUTELY INSUFFERABLE!" The title is "which type of neurodivergent are you?" There are 5 different drawings on the page, all themed under a different heading. 1) The full-time actor. Bex shrugs at the camera and says, "wait, an I doing this right? Should I be moving my hands more?' 2) The dedicated planner. Bex twirls a pen while holding a sheet of paper. "If I leave myself reminders to remember to use my planner, then maybe..." 3) The collector: a tired and sleepless bex holds onto a collector's book. "This is my life's work. This is everything." 4) The expert. Bex clasps her hands together with enthusiasm. "Hello would you like to hear an extremely obscure fact about a 30 year old anime?" 5) The good listener. Bex is distressed and tired. "I couldn't sleep because of the sound of the tap dripping downstairs."

Melody works from home as an artist, but when pursuing her goals drives a wedge between her and her partner, she's torn between being a "good partner" and a "good artist."

VIOLAPSE is about choosing yourself over a broken fantasy and breaking out of roles that other people give you.

#DVpit Graphic novel pitch:

VIOLAPSE explores the nuances of escaping a dangerous home when violence has become the new normal. Ultimately hopeful, VIOLAPSE is both an indictment and celebration of anger.

Genre: adult thriller/horror

A black and white comic page depicting a woman washing dishes in an eerie way with a bruised eye. The final panel reveals a man tied up at her feet. An illustration of a red-haired woman holding up a sheet of paper that's burning. A comic page showing a woman vomiting black tar into another woman's mouth An illustration of a woman sat on a fancy couch in a dark room. She's looking creepily into the camera as if she's expected you

Life changing artblock hack: Don't feel motivated to draw but want to? If teenage boys can draw dicks on their homework, on their desks and everywhere else, so can you!!! You can draw a better dick than them!! Draw the peen 🍆
