BARK BARK GIRL is back in print! The 2nd edition of my graphic novel is out now, published a second time by the mighty PEOW! The cover is slightly different now.

«Sweary young-adult Jolanda struggles with herself, school and her dog’s off leash training. A math test is destined to change her entire life, she is destined to repeat a grade. Unless maybe, her dog…? If she’d have a couple more days, maybe this time she would study really, really, really hard? Probably.»

DECEMBER 2023 (Part 1)

Last year I wrote a three-part year-in-review that was a fun way to summarize the year for others and also remind myself of everything I set in motion after returning to comics after a break. Here's 2023's look back at a year of writing comics:

Pulp Literature

Issue 37 of Pulp Literature included "A Cold Place Between the Shores" by me and @ohotnig, a sci-fi story in which the killing of a bear causes tension that may lead to war unless a lieutenant and a bear can negotiate peace. The story was published in black and white (as was "Forgive My Delay" which was published in issue 36), but the story appears in color in my collection A Cold Place Between the Shores (more on the collection below).

● “A Cold Place Between the Shores”

● “Forgive My Delay"

Last Chance to Find Duke

Shang Zhang’s Last Chance to Find Duke, which I edited, was published by @peowstudio at the end of 2022 and quickly sold out; it was reprinted this year but sold out again. It was selected as one of the Beat’s 30 Best Comics of 2022 and was also nominated for an Ignatz Award for ‘Outstanding Graphic Novel’. Hopefully it'll be reprinted again soon!

A Column of Ashes

Book of Fuligin, an anthology inspired by the work of Gene Wolfe, which includes the sci-fi/horror story "A Column of Ashes" by me and H. Berlin, was successfully crowdfunded and will, after a few delays, hopefully be published early next year (as is the case with the similarly delayed After the End, which includes the story "Lápida" by me and Tim Fischer).

A Cold Place Between the Shores

I reprinted A Cold Place Between the Shores, my self-published collection of three short stories: the titular story illustrated by @ohotnig; "The Tea House" illustrated by @lemlemur; "Dafina" illustrated by @davidaguado142. I redesigned the cover of the reprint and added a few pages of sketches and concept art for each story.

The collection is now distributed by Strangers in the US and is otherwise available directly from me.

one of the actual canon ways harry du bois can die in disco elysium is by tripping over an old woman in a wheelchair while flipping off the manager in a botched attempt to skip out on the rent. i don’t know the first thing about vriska or homestuck but i know there’s no way she touches that level of humilating patheticness. and yet, i’m not even mad that she won because there’s only one poor little meow meow pathetic and miserable enough to lose a contest of who is the most pathetic and miserable.

Gleem by Freddy Carrasco

The steely coolness of humanity,

the loneliness of the masses

and the comfort found in solitude.

It blinds and reveals, hurts and heals.

Brace yourself for what you'll find

on the other side of. . . GLEEM

i flipped through stages of rot in a little bookstore this last year and then promptly forgot what it was called. by the time i'd gotten home and remembered to look it up the shop had stopped carrying it and i was absolutely bereft, so to stumble across your art on tumblr and finally be able to put a name to it is kind of overwhelming. ANYWAY, it's such a gorgeous book and it's been living in my heart nameless but beloved for a fair bit, i'm absolutely overjoyed to be able to see it again.

Hey thanks. Feels like forever ago since I drew it, almost like another person made it, but in a way it's grown on me. Probably happier about it now vs when I just finished it, still bewildered by the idea someone might come across it in the wild.

(edit: a person here says it's still available as a physical copy, from PEOW & maybe other places online)
