Here is the 8 page story “War/Love” from my Not For Prophet zine. The zine also contained another 12 pages or so of sketches which I need to post at some point.
I made this story for fun between projects. It’s funny because I was actually working on my science fiction romance story for Speculative Relationships: Volume 2 (Kickstarting now BTW, please take a look!) while finishing this up. I was using this story as kind of a playground for ideas I had about romance comics, which eventually informed a lot of what i’m doing for Speculative Relationships.
In a perfect world, this story was actually supposed to be more like 20 pages and I’d have been able to color it and yadda yadda yadda. But it was a super fun fan comic that allowed me to also meditate on the things I love about the Prophet relaunch (the metaphors in the story are pretty thinly veiled) and put my own spin on the Prophet+Yilala relationship (a small part of the book that I always wanted more of).
Also I wanted to say that Brandon, Simon, Farel, Joseph, and all the Prophet team that I met and handed the zine too at ECCC were super awesome about it and I really appreciated that. And big thanks to them for making great comics. Also a shout out to prophetsharing for fostering a cool fan art community for Prophet.
I want to do another zine (maybe after the series ends?) and include some art form other prophet fans… if anyone is interested? Let me know.
Thanks ya’ll and enjoy!
Wonderful stuff from a wonderful sir!

Do you have any other tattoos or is the elephant your only one? (if this question is too personal feel free to ignore it)
I have four tattoooos.
Aside from the elephant – I have the Prophet Empire eye on my left arm. Farel, Joseph, Simon and Lin, who all worked on Prophet all have the same tattoo.
On my right arm I’ve got The Kih-Oskh Brotherhood symbol from Tintin’s Cigars of the Pharaoh. My pal Joe Keatinge has the same tattoo
The arm ones were both done by my Prophet homie Joseph.(the elephant was by Ego) And on my stomach I have medical tattoos –dots from when they had to line me up for cancer treatment. I dunno if I’ll get any more.

Here’s the NEXT ISSUE page with a photo my pal Claire took
Who's the worst rapper ever?
Chicken dinner.
Is that candy? who would want that? It feels like a defeat of a wrapper. It’s not a dinner and that drawing is hardly a chicken. It looks like a cartoon poop with wine bottles stuck in it.
on the plus side 5 cents isn’t that much to pay for this 2 ozs of mouth horror.
