goat! (looking for work)

"Obsolescence" by @goatpunch.bsky.social
A dying woman contemplates legacy and memory as she explores the ruins of a mechanical age.

This year I organized SPIN RACK, the first annual comics jam for the SPIN RACK COMICS COLLECTIVE. Our bundle is live now on itchio until November 18th! You can pick up all 11 comics from 12 creators for only 21$USD! That's 48 percent off!
Below I will highlight each comic from every creator!

A collection of 11 comic covers on a spooky cobwebbed background with the text “Spin Rack Comics Bundle” and “Available now on itch.io” with a QR code in the middle right area.

A watercolor cover image shows boots walking down a pebbly road with a gnarled walking stick, a skirt and coat flowing above. All is in blue-grey tones except for bright cobalt floating will-o-the-wisps. Title text: When I Was Walking Home Last Night” Author text: by Lucy Kagan

A watercolor back cover image: A young woman in a big coat holding a walking stick squats on the ground putting herbs into her rucksack while looking up to see the stars begin to emerge. She’s deep in shadowy bushes in the woods. Text: Heading home through the forest, a local mage discovers that there is more going on in it than she had ever noticed before. A mysterious spirit guides her through places she’s never seen before, but for what purpose?

A sample page of the watercolor comic: Three skinny panels show a rustling in the bushes, then a figure dashing out, and then paws in all bright cobalt blue landing on the ground. A narrow reaction panel shows the main character in profile, looking on. “A ghost fox!” she thinks. The last panel is full bleed, showing a glowing blue fox in the middle of a dark forest path that forks, and little hints of will-o-the-wisps all around.

I’m so excited to share the results of our first ever Spin Rack Comics Jam! The theme we chose was “ghosts,” and everyone went different directions with it, so I’m looking forward to getting to read them all myself!

We have 11 short comics perfect for the spooky season here

4/12 pencils done

i’ve planned a lot less for this project than I usually do, since it’s going to be vibes-focused (whatever that means)

Two stickers on a white background. The left sticker features a signpost on another planet, with a glitter-ringed planet in the background. The right sticker features a black and white tuxedo cat with green eyes, half furred and half musculature with its tongue dipping into a champagne glass.

First panel: A hand, glowing pink veins visible, with the speech bubble, “I just… need to leave my body.” Second panel: A view up into the trees in a forest, with the speech bubble, “Just be one with the forest.” Third panel: A young woman’s face, slightly up-angle, zoned out expression, with treetops in the background. Fourth panel: A loose wash-y watercolor of some sunlight treetops, with the speech bubble, “Just let my body be subsumed by moss."

In watercolor, a plain but yellow and terracotta-colored cottage in a clearing in the woods with a garden next to it. The garden is overgrowing its simple wood fence, and a path winds around from the front door to the fence. It starts in stepping stones and then is just a dirt path. A large tree branch in the foreground sort of frames this image.

Panel 1: Closeup of a hand pressing sliced eggplant into a pie crust. Panel 2: Closeup of a hand arranging tomato slices on top. Panel 3: Closeup of a hand sprinkling garlic over it, which we can tell from a garlic bulb in the foreground, and now there’s an olive oil bottle in the background. Panel 4: A woman facing away from us puts the tomato tart into a wood stove oven. Panel 5: Closeup of basil leaves being sprinkled over a steaming tart. Panel 6: A messy slice of tomato tart, plated, with a fork moving in for the first bite.

Panel 1: The woman takes a first bite, looking pleased. Text: Heaven Panel 2: The camera moves over to show a frog at the window, roughly small human sized. They eye each other in surprise. Panel 3: The frog speaks: Shoot, Jolie did say she was having a guest watch the house! I was thinking it was her cooking making that delicious smell, but I guess she’s gone already. Panel 4: Closeup of the woman saying: You must be Moss! Come on in! Panel 5: Hand passing a plate of tomato tart. Text: Aunt Jolie said you might come by. Panel 6: Fork digging into last tomato slice. Text: I always bring my foragings to offer her if I’m in the area. Panel 7: An empty plate on a soft purple background. Text: Maybe you’d like some while you’re staying here?

I’ve decided to just start making a new comic and posting it, since the past few years have been spent on a pitch that’s still being shown around.

Looking forward to having something I can regularly share as I work on it!

Not to sound self serving but supporting (aka giving money to) independent artists, writers, self-employed creators in general, is, in fact, praxis. why? bc you are supporting low wage people that actually create things. whether intended or not, it's an act of solidarity with an actual craftsperson
