💗 Happy Mary Sue Day 🧛🏻‍♀️

This is a love letter to fandom, to those who stay up late reading fic, who still argue for your favorite ship, who found themselves in stories.

Today’s the day! MARY SUE #1 is available now at your local comic shop ❤️ today I’ll be at the iconic Laughing Ogre from 4-6 selling and signing comics and probably drawing my own Mary Sue. Her name is Sailor Sun and she is a Sailor scout and I created her when I was 12. 🌈 happy NCBD!

‘Mary Sue’ #1 brings fan fiction into the real world Exploring the bond people have with fiction, and what happens if that bond spills out into reality.

"Mary Sue #1 is a solid start to a story that explores the bond people have with fiction, and what happens if that bond spills out into the real world."

thanks Kelly!!!

If you've been following my art since Long Lost, this might look familiar to you. I feel like the lines and color in Dying Inside are the culmination of a style I've been trying to figure out for like 5 years.

here's a preview of one of my pages from Dying Inside, my next graphic novel with Hannah Klein and Pete Wentz! I can't wait to share more about this book with you all, it is going to be SO good.

Two days left for Sapphic Pulp!! Below some warmups to serve as inspo for my upcoming artwork in this gorgeous anthology
