So boom is collecting all of the JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS run (including my contributions) in a nice four volume set.

And it reminded me that I’ve been meaning to draw Jem again for a minute.

Anyways. Here’s the Kickstarter

…

Description: An illustration of Jem from JEM AND THE HOLOGRAM. She’s arching back, belting into her microphone. Big smile on her face, and her trademark earrings sparkling.

In the Name of Venus

Description:

A small black and white comic. The comic shows me in four stages.

At the beginning I am lurched over in my office chair, prepared to work hard. A speech bubble says: ‘Okay. Time to lock in and-.’ My cat’s head is peeking up from around my lap.

In the second part, my cat has started to crawl into my space. I look down at her, but am still distractedly saying: 'Time to lock-’

In the third part my cat is starting to make herself comfortable on my chest, where she likes to be. I am succumbing, looking off in the distance saying: 'To-’

By the fourth section, I have fully surrendered. She is sleeping on chest. It’s all over.

Vietnam . Part 05

And… Now I’m going to bum you out.

Here’s the thing. I try REALLY HARD to be honest about my travel experiences. So when something comes up that upsets me, I think the proper thing to do is address. If people’s opinions are shaped by the things I tell them about the places I travel, then I have a duty to be straightforward.

Pretending that any one corner of the world is perfect is inaccurate. And doesn’t do any good in improving difficult situations.

So yeah.

Was able to squeak out a short Halloween comic. Wanted to try local mythology this year.

Special thanks to mom for transcribing the bisaya for me!

Ohhh.

This is very good.
