#End of Summer

[petaltexturedskies]

September approaching…I feel I owe myself a brief respite of leisure and no rushing around. I can't face the dead reality. I want rainy days, lanterns and a hundred moons twining in dark leaves, music spilling out and echoing yet inside my head.

Sylvia Plath, from a letter to Aurelia Plath written c. August 1951

There is a time in late September when the leaves are still green, and the days are still warm, but somehow you know that it is all about to end, as if summer was holding its breath, and when it let it out again, it would be autumn.

— Sharyn Mccrumb, King’s Mountain (Thomas Dunne Books, September 24, 2013

September is shadowed at the edge of the woods, suffused with colors and frost.

Letting my hair grow out before dying and trimming it🥲✨️❤️ I know my roots are dark and showing, but I like to wait 3-4 months before doing a whole dye😅

BACK FROM SUMMER HIATUS

I posted this comic one year ago, and it marked at a turning point for me both artistically and personally. I started making monthly long form comics like this on my Patreon, which has become the main output for my work, and travelled for the first time to Lisbon, which I'm lucky enough to now call home

It also turned out to be our last summer with Nellie, who died in February of this year. Then, last month, I myself became an auntie for the first time, and was able to share some of the baby's beautiful first days. For once, I'm relatively at peace with the summer coming to an end

New comics coming soon - now for some Virgo season admin:

If you want to read the rest of this comic, and many more, head to my PATREON and sign up to the $2 tier! The comic can be found in September 2022. As I say, this is where all my best work goes currently

SHOP IS BACK, with booklets and prints - more on this to follow.

If you would like a silly, fun, brightly coloured book with tons of jokes - BLOODLUST & BONNETS, my queer fantasy graphic novel, remains available in shops

And if you would like an even bigger graphic novel with less colour but more jokes and plot intrigue about tech CEOs trying to take over the world (cough Elon), TWELVE PERCENT DREAD is also still available online and in bookstores!!

That's all for now, luv ya xxxx

One of my favorite motives in summer. The gold cornfield. The blue sky. The warmth you can feel on your skin. The slighty sad feeling, that the summer is going to end.

A pleasant September Sunday after all. Summer had faded to a distant memory almost beyond recall.
