do you have a tip jar or patreon or anything?
ooh i do not because i live a very "sign up for 8 platforms and so immediately forget they exist" lifestyle but if you want to throw a dollar or two at the PCRF or Crips for eSims for Gaza neither has donation minimums i believe!!
i'm sorry did you say street magic is a game about creating a strange magical city with your friends, it runs completely gmless, and it can either be a fun game to play with friends, or a tool to create a town to play in
Last year I spent vacation on the shore of Lake Michigan. One afternoon, when the weather was cloudy, me and my wife went to a local bakery, and I ate a little chocolate pastry while reading this game. It’s such a delightful text, and the experience of reading it is embedded in my memory as one of my favorite days in a long time.
some things that i experienced in 2023.... i did not make a ton of art this year and most of it was cats lksdjfksd but that's how it goes!

They still need more esims. Please refer to the website on how to purchase esims.
Also if you purchased an E-Sim in October, November, or the first two weeks of December and it hasn't been activated yet, reply to the email you previously sent to them!

i started 2017 with the extremely ambitious resolution to do tiny daily comics and failed in dramatic, spectacular, entirely predictable fashion. but! i still enjoy some of these quite a bit!
i want to give it another shot next year–the loose, fast scribbling + trying to find something funny/document-able about each day was a really good exercise–but i need to work out a schedule that i can actually stick to
my piece for the @swimonzine! you can get the pdf with over a hundred cool sharks for $1+ here
bull sharks can live in salt and freshwater (growing up in mangroves & salt marshes then migrating upriver or to the ocean), a cool fact i briefly attempted to work into the illustration before giving up and just dumping some weird old tech in there
my sf zine fest haul* (*did not have a chance to even do a little loop around the floor lskdfjskl), PENCILGUY from the best maker-of-fellows in the business @sleepnoises & this needlefelted FISH OF MY HEART from @amserpand
Is there a place I can buy your zines online?
hey!! lskdjfds so i got like 70% of the way through setting up an online store and then got distracted / now need all my stock for conventions BUT I DO REALLY WANT TO uh, like, let people who do not live in the pnw get zines! if they want them! so..... i'm thinking like. nov/dec of this year (after portland zine symposium)?
tl;dr Watch This Space i WILL get my act together and offer some stuff online, hopefully soon
FASCINATE, a new minicomic that i will have at SF ZINE FEST this sunday (9/3)! come to table 38 and pick it up along with uhh slkfjsd books that will hopefully have arrived at my house before friday! i guess!!

Perhaps Asher was learning to read their unhappiness too, because she said, “I promised to get you all through here, and I meant it.” “Not all of us,” said Cascabela. They stood a little ahead, and they didn’t look back as they spoke, but it was clear they meant to be heard. Their carapace was a black bulk wreathed in smoke from the flame that burned in their palm. They looked unhelpfully like an allegory.
friends i read in one sitting & truly can't recommend enough The Iron Children -- it's an INCREDIBLE ensemble cast at odds with one another in an impossible situation (war) now forced to work together in a smaller impossible situation (manager quit one day into your internship and handed the entire project to the intern). It's about loyalty and duty, cyborgs, religious ethics…… really really character-driven science fiction at its best!!
i love these STUPID SAD CYBORGS so MUCH please read this book
small note that the iron children is now also available as an audiobook in all the usual places one gets audiobooks
