I wish I could go back in time and help myself with my research with all the new information I have. Maybe in the reprint I'll have the energy to write an update. Anyway, I have La Voz De MAYO back on my shop. Please consider buying a copy if you haven't already! latinxpress.square.site

I’ve decided for every £1k we raise, I will include an additional beloved recipe. At £6k we’re playing for my Actual Sherbet Fountain Lemon Cupcakes! (Tastes how childhood birthday excitement feels but without the crushing aftertaste of disappointment)

For a long time I couldn’t understand why the boys chose “clavicular” to be the main guy when he looks so weepy. But I guess that’s the draw. Crying and pretending you’re just angry & righteous is one of the ultimate self-gratification feelings bc it merges everything (strong/weak; etc) together

My jawline is not sharp & sometimes, bc I recognise that sharp is what people pay to get, I use my hand to simulate a more angular angle between chin & neck. & then I’m like lol but I don’t think that’s better I think that’s someone else. I think it’s worse. & then I tee hee

THE CLANS HEIR IS A TRANS WOMAN (2013) is like Steven Seagal decided to Write/Direct/Star in a love letter to his trans friends, but it looks and feels like every action movie he's made... except Hitoshi Ozawa is way way way way cooler than Seagal.

One of the very best parts of freelance editorial is working with a writer or cartoonist who’s a man who listens on the way his narrative rhetorically treats its women. The absolute worst part is working with an artist who is a man who doesn’t listen (rare but deadening)

I will not get the readership, attention or plaudits my time, efforts & discomfort deserves. Because the Patriarchy is deep in comics too. I see this happening to creators of non-cis-male persuasion all the time & rage internally at the injustice as another dude writes another sexualising fem story.
The woman, crouched, peeks around the man’s back. Her eyes wide, mouth smeared with black tincture. She’s not a woman at all. Through crow kaws she speaks “Morrigan”

I’m currently pouring a lifetime’s frustration, trauma, injury, rage & grief into my female centred comic MOTHERS RUIN. It’s informed by the experiences of myself & the women (inclusive women) I’ve known, witnessed & comforted from their experiences of surviving society. It’s dripping with ire.
3 Comic Panels…
1. A women with long arms, head low, seen through a man’s legs
2. From behind the woman as she approaches the man, his back turned to her.
3. The man grins as he dismisses her.

GREAT read on how to self-publish the niche queer comic/writing anthology of your dreams. finding your people, editing and curating submissions, dealing with marketing and censorship, being real and kind. genuinely: this is the kind of attitude and work that will keep interesting art alive.
