Valley of the Silk Sky: “The Long Run” – page 23

Awkward.

VoSS page 22 and Denver Zine Fest and San Diego

Valley of the Silk Sky: The Long Run page 22 is up! THIS WAY FOR READ:

on the VoSS site
on Tapastic
on Studio NDR

I suppose I ought confess: the rest of the chapter is just Razi opening various drawers and cabinets and proclaiming the contents. FUN!

Also fun: Denver Zine Fest is this weekend! It’s sponsored by the Denver Zine Library, and there will be many exciting activities. I’m signed up to be part of the readings on Friday, June 26, and then I’ll be at the Fest itself on Saturday the 27th. I’ll have all of my books there, plus a handful of Northwest Press titles, so come on down won’t you.

And yes, San Diego Comic Con is nigh! Very, very nigh. Intimidatingly nigh.

I will once again be ensconced at the Northwest Press table, to be found in the Prism Comics booth (#2144). I’m also going to be on a Writing Trans Characters panel that promises to be really awesome. Once SDCC publishes the official programming schedule I’ll let you know the date/time.

Cheers,

Dylan

Turns out the rest of the chapter is just Razi opening various drawers and cabinets and proclaiming the contents.

VoSS page 21 is up, Queer Comics Expo is nigh

Valley of the Silk Sky page 21 is here, and really, everything’s probably fine. Nothing to worry about. Not even one single thing. See for yourself:

But yes, Queer Comics Expo! It is this very weekend in San Francisco! I am given to understand there will be QUEER COMICS.

It’s at the Cartoon Art Museum, June 20-21, and in addition to several queertoonists and publishers of queer comics, there’ll also be a ton of awesome programming. I’m on three panels: Non-Monosexual Characters in Comics, Panel Transitions: Trans Representation in Comics, and Teaching Queer: LGBTQ Comics in the Classroom.

So! If you’re in SF and you dig queer comics, you should head on over to this thing!

Cheers,

Dylan

In which, really, I’m sure everything’s probably fine.

VoSS – Long Run page 20 has just rolled up

So! What else. I’ve done the first draft on the thumbnails for chapter 4. I’m letting it sit for a bit so I can go back to it with fresh eyes before moving on to pencils.

In the meanwhiles, I’ll be working on a short piece for an upcoming anthology, about which more later. (I’m only being coy about it because I don’t know what info has been officially released, so I guess I’ll start talking about it more when I know more. But I’ll tell you this: it’s all about … QUEER COMICS.)

Oh, and also! I don’t have the official date/time yet, but I’ll be doing a panel at SDCC2015 on Writing Trans Characters. So if you have plans to be at Comic Con International this year, keep an eyeball out for that. I’ll post the date/time once I get the final schedule.

Cheers,

Dylan

Welcome to the Cashel Waystation! The Cashel Waystation®: There are Worse Places You Could Be I Guess™

Transposes featured in Publishers Weekly 13 Great LGBTQ Comics List

I am super-excited that Transposes was featured in this Publishers Weekly list of 13 Great LGBTQ Comics. Check it out, there’s a lot of great stuff in there, including two anthologies I’m in, No Straight Lines and QU33R.

It’s very gratifying to be on a short list with the likes of Alison Bechdel and Howard Cruse.

Anyway, go give it a look and check out all these awesome queer comics!

Cheers,

Dylan

Valley of the Silk Sky: Chapter Three commences

Valley of the Silk Sky: The Long Run page 19 is here:

Be on the alert for giant bioluminescent mushrooms, giant monotreme spider things, giant other stuff, carnivorous this and that. You know, the usual.

In further VoSS news, I’ve finished thumbnailing chapter 4, which means it’s very close to ready to draw. I’m giving it a few days to percolate before I dive in. But chapter 3 will keep us covered for awhile yet.

I also am working on an anthology piece that’s due at the end of July, so comics are just all over the place.

Oh, and if you missed it, there’s a public post up on my Patreon with a bit of world-building info about how Harcos bath time goes down. Features a rather exciting illustration as well.

Anyhow. See you next week for the continuance of Ch. 3!

Cheers,

Dylan

Chapter Three begins with a map and a montage. Also: Giant carnivorous bioluminescent mushrooms, giant monotreme spider things, giant waterfalls.
