I have 2 (2!!) comics in here, one with @thesandlord.bsky.social and the other with @jpawlik.com. Jigen/Lupin fans you will want to check both of them out!

Screenshot of the Toronto Public Library "Tales of Toronto" featured list. "Take a literary stroll through the city with this collection of books set in Toronto."

I put this in today's newsletter too, but Dead City is the THIRD book in the Tales of Toronto featured book list on the Toronto Public Library. How cool is that?!

#linocut proof 2, couldn't stop thinking about this pilgrim badge I'd seen and needed to make art of it

a linocut print of a goat headed satyr, pouring wine over himself as he sits on a wine barrel. he's surrounded by grape vines and grapes. he is hard.

🎶enjoy yourself, it's later than you'd think🎶
#linocut proof day today, extremely happy with how this guy turned out! 8x6"

Bear in a Jif Pattern (Crochet) The Bear in a Jif Pattern is a crochet toy pattern made with bulky weight yarn that has a skill level of easy.

Pattern: www.lionbrand.com/products/cro...

A small, multi-coloured crochet bear.

My second attempt at a crochet stuffed animal. Ended up a bit lopsided, but still great for hugs!

Lack of exercise and outside stimulation is bad for animals... wait, I'M ANIMALS!!

I saw the pattern online with a bunch of different colour suggestions and really fell in love with it! Just the right difficulty as well!

Two hand-made sweaters with skull designs on a bed. One is a mix of orange, black, and grey, while the other is brown.

Just in time for August I've finally finished the skull sweaters for myself and @jpawlik.com! These were my first big projects and I'm real pleased with how they turned out!

I called Visa and they knew about the issue. Calls to complain do work! I also emailed askvisa@visa.com, submitted a complaint to Paypal's complain line (www.paypal.com/be/cshelp/co...) AND wrote a physical letter.

Jigen zine is finally open for preorder! All profits will be donated to Transgender Law Center. I'm aiming to ship them out before the end of August, but I think more likely they'll be on the way earlier than that! 🫶 jigenzine.bigcartel.com

Pattern is from Super Subversive Cross Stitch: 50 Fresh as F*ck Designs by Julie Jackson.

A cross-stitch pattern reading "get out of my office" in a frame.

Getting my present ready for a family gift-swap!

Three skeins of yarn and various cute stationary on top of a table.

A successful (but extremely hot!) trip yesterday to Wonder Pens and Yarns Untangled! And I finally went and bought a fancy fountain pen.

Character lineup for "In Search of Analogue Days". "Diana Ying" is a thin older woman with greying brown hair and thick glasses. She's wearing a long pink cardigan with a white top, light blue pants and purple slip on shoes. She's holding a tiny camera in one hand. The pride flag beside her is the asexual flag with the trans and POC triangle on top. "Aidan Ryan" is a teen boy who's questioning his pronouns and gender. He's got short brown hair with bangs, and is wearing a simple white button up, a belt and black slacks. The pride flag beside him is the Questioning flag.

For #bluepit💥 today I want to pitch "In Search of Analogue Days", an older trans woman falls out of love with photography. Upon finding herself, literally, Diana slowly rediscovers her love of photography.
#W #LGBT #TR #NA

I have read it and this is now my cannon ending for Lupin and the gang. It's perfect!

Character lineup for "Clitrina Cosmos". "Clitrina Cosmos" is a tall, older, fat woman who looks very comfortable wearing a black suit that shows off a lot of cleavage and thigh. The pride flag beside her is the progress flag. "Phil O'Plasty" is a short black man with a pompador and a reverse bunnysuit where we can see a lot of his stomach and thighs but his arms and legs are covered. The suit looks like a business suit, complete with rocket themed tie! The pride flag beside him is the trans flag.

Cropped promo image from Jey and Max's comic "Paul Bunyan: transman" in the upcoming Transfixed anthology. The image shows several queer folks circling our main character, Kaye, in the middle. Kaye is looking pleased and thinking about all the rumours they've been hearing about the mysterious Paul Bunyan such as "I heard Paul did his own top surgery." "I heard Paul had five different phalloplasties." "I heard his nipple grafts can vibrate." "I heard if you sleep with Paul you throw away your hitachi."

Comic page in black, white and a grey texture. Ursula, an older white trans woman with fluffy blonde hair finishes tinkering with something and wipes her face with a cloth. She texts her wife saying "Come downstairs, I have a surprise for you 'heart emoji'." We hear "thump thump" from upstairs and Ursula watches where the footsteps are coming from. Betty, an older chubby Korean woman is in the door frame to the basement with stairs behind her, she's out of breath and posing nonchalantly in the door frame. She says "You got me a present?" as Ursula in the foreground giggles.

Several jars full of a dark red jam.

Made some raspberry-cherry jam tonight! Very excited to see how this one turned out!

Back from the Trans March, it was a real great time. I teared up a bit at all of the amazing support.

Character lineup for "Dead City". "JP Rybakov" is a fat man of colour with shaggy black hair and a thick beard, he's wearing a blue polo shirt and jeans with grey socks. The pride flag beside him is the progress flag. "Mikael Berg" is a thinner white man with red hair pulled back in a headband, he's wearing a big sweatshirt, pink sweatpants and thick tube socks. The pride flag beside him is the bi flag.

A #Pride2025 thread has appeared!

I was lucky enough to pick up a copy of this at TCAF this year and it is fantastic! The art and worldbuilding is beautiful and engaging and the story is charming and delves into age-appropriate social situations without getting boring or preachy! One of the best MG graphic novel's I've read.

looks like jigen and lupin had a wild night...🍻

I want to see you." and a third crop of an erotic commission where all the sexy bits are cropped out and we just see three men having a good time.
