Everywhere I look lately a cis-Male comic creator is announcing a female-led project whilst my timelines are flooded with accounts of SA, both adult & minor, and I’ve never been more aware of living in a Patriarchal society.

A modern Icarus. In the distance below, if you look, another figure with wings intact is speeding towards him to try and catch him. But will he get there in time…

The opening chapter to #Nostos #Unflattening 2 is a 22 page, 15 foot long continuous sequence that is a retelling of the Odyssey. It’s been done since 2019 and I’ve been pushing to have it released as a standalone since to no avail, & really hoping before this movie, but here we are. A sneak peek…

I kept my twit-act in part because I’d been documenting progress on my new book since its beginning. As I fully phase out twix, sharing some past posts here as I go. This was the first finished spread - part of 22pg 15ft long continuous sequence retelling the Odyssey! Onward! #Nostos #Unflattening 2
A 2-page black and white comics spread, with imagery continuing beyond the side boundaries of the pages as it’s part of a longer sequence. The center is a tapestry that stretches through the page displaying Odysseus’s ship with the lighthouse of pharos, Penelope weaving a pharos, and the bag of Aeolus. The image of penelope emerges from the tapestry, near it there's a meta-tapestry with warp and weft of threads that make the page, all woven by hands from the reader’s perspective. They hands unwind at the wrists to merge with a labyrinth that fills bottom of page metapmorphosizing from greek key patterns that make the boundary of the tapestry. At top the moon in three phases and a double headed axe spins through the page - in one instance mirroring the full moon with crescents on either side. The axe transforms into a monarch butterfly across the page. Also there’s an owl who moves backwards across the page until it comes to rest on Penelope’s loom. It’s a complicated page... (oh, and I have twice as many characters as Twitter here - but that’s probably enough)

Hello new followers :) I’m AJ. I’m an artist. I make comics about neurodiversity, queerness, fantastical weird sh1t and science fiction. A lot of my work is about my attempts to understand myself in kids books, animation, pictures and comics.
A minimalist cartoon of AJ, a white person with a shaved head and a brown moustache, a ring septum piercing, wearing a grey Tshirt with an ID lanyard and holding noise canceling headphones to their ears.An animation cel cartoon of AJ, a white person with a blue peaked baseball cap and a brown moustache, a ring septum piercing, wearing a white Tshirt under a golden yellow hoody. Their expression is suspicious and they are squinting past the viewer. A realistic cartoon illustration of two white masc presenting people, AJ and someone else, sitting opposite each other at a picnic table by a low brick wall on a bright summers day. Under the table, their feet are touching and on the table they are holding hands. It’s a first date.A page of a comic about the time my phone was snatched out of my hand by someone on a bike and I had to go home without music to listen to and with no way to share the meme about my grief  because my phone was gone.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The title reads, "Suddenly Finding A New Obsession".
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, in front of her computer. She has a bored expression on her face.
In the second panel we zoom in on her face. She looks suddenly alert.
In the third panel we zoom in even closer on her face. Her eyes and mouth are wide open in intrigue.
In the fourth panel we zoom out and see Sarah in front of her computer again, but this time she is dressed in a frog costume, surrounded by frog toys, and has an "I heart frogs" poster behind her.
