something my mom always used to say when i asked for permission 👍 "gourd ahead, gourd-head"

a gourd-headed individual gets the okay to "gourd ahead" and says "ok! ty!" as they go for it. colors used are light orange-yellow, salmon pink, sky blue, white, and dark reddish purple.

nearly twenty years ago, i moved from birmingham, alabama to college station, texas. a year after that, i wrote a one-act about myself, lonely & lovelorn, talking to a figment of my imagination. the star of the play, in the role of my male self, was a boy i'd had a crush on.

one year ago today, please be my star was released. my debut fiction graphic novel -- a love letter to those two years in college station, to my teen self, to my love sergio diaz, & to many other moments in my life. a beautiful synthesis of many, many moments in my youth in texas.

i'm deeply thankful for everyone who red & enjoyed or thought deeply about the comic. i'm especially thankful to everyone who shared their thoughts & feelings about the book -- with me or otherwise.

it's selfish to admit, but at times i'm pretty solemn about how please be my star has been treated out in the world. people have sent me wonderfully kind messages, and people have also written very disparaging & dismissive reviews.

it's all very confusing to take in.
"which is it?" i wonder.

i'm well aware it's a weird book; a weird book is exactly what i intended to make.

so, all i can hope is that i'll be able to make comics like this for the rest of my life. i'm incredibly grateful & happy i got to make please be my star.

to those of you who have held it, for any length of time, in your heart -- i can't thank you enough.

happy birthday,
please be my star

Artwork of the cover (and a crop from the subsequent first page) of the in-game, diagetic theater programme that will serve as the main menu of Scornhorn. #scornhorn #washy_works

An old-style theater programme cover featuring bright print colors. The title at the top, flourished half with foliage and half with a praying mantis’s claw, says “The Peltry Theater presents a stageplay about villains and victims— Scornhorn written by Tea sa Grazes and Poume Pudding.” The three main characters, and villains, of its story are glancing towards the viewer below: a menacing green wolf doll, a cocker spaniel milf in a waitress uniform, and an adventurous looking antelope in shorts witha. devilish grin.

Old-fashioned looking print of a cartoon cat in formalwear and JRPG spikey hair, holding a severed antelope horn while wistfully staring out to the side. Behind her is a fantasy broadsword buried in flowers, while a red squirrel man in a leotard sits next to it, hugging his legs to his chest.
