If you want to read voices of young artists in Iran, please support the comics anthology "Young in Iran" published with @comicsworkshop.bsky.social It's 264 pages, 6x9 inches, and was censored by Kickstarter. Take a look: www.sequentialartistsworkshop.org/saw-shop/p/y...

If you have not read Persepolis you should, it is an extremely powerful graphic novel thats available for free on the Internet Archive: archive.org/details/pers... Though I would also highly reccomend supporting Marjane directly and purchasing it as well.

eight new pages of the erotic horror comic wip on Patreon 🫴 this one has goop in it www.patreon.com/posts/haglan...

100%, real desire is always a little possessed and specific to the point of grotesque, so how can you even contain that in something that's written/interpreted to be entirely polished and pretty? You need that stank

Read this thread. This is why that taboo art you don't like needs to exist. Block it if it upsets you. Move on with your life. But dont destroy the safety nets and frameworks for actual victims that would come about by forcing everything right back into another Hays Code cuz you can't press a button

Gripping, unsettling, and devastating... THE SECOND SAFEST MOUNTAIN by @claystorks.bsky.social is one of the best comics you'll read about womanhood and being Other.

watercolour pencil and gouache

yesss!!!

awesome, thanks!

i was going to section sew it, but i used the wrong printing order (booklet instead of individual signatures) so i ended up just doing a plain glueback practice with this one - please do link the tech vid!

i wanted to see how long/bad the workflow for making a few of these to sell at cons would be and the answer was (inconclusive sounds of madness) but it is fun to learn book binding in general

When we invest in an ecotank printer there will be certain signs

the sale bundle is still available today! 🍎 itch.io/s/180368/val...

Happy Valentine's day~ I'm running a bundle of all of my +18 comics & artbooks for 10 dollars total, a value that resembles a super delicious looking no strings attached fruit on a particularly beautiful looking paradise tree: itch.io/s/180368/val...

H is for Home by the Rotting Sea by @claystorks.bsky.social

an open wound of a book that for me as a non-binary native person felt like it was birthed from and for my soul. If you only read one of these let it be THIS!

thank you so much, I'm so happy to hear this!

fairy facts

A grainy black and white image of a peach with cut out letters stating "Bruised Fruit is still good."

two apples one at the top and one at the bottom of the page both with different ink blemishes on them

Text over crumpled paper and a black and white image of old jewelry reading "This is a personal zine about asking for things and getting it. There's depictions of bruises and nudity here."

An image of a body in black and white with a visible nervous system in thin white lines with text over the top that reads, "I've died so many times trying to be understood. The slow drag of being disassembled into parts unknown and returning in pieces."

Hey I made a zine about asking for things you want and BDSM. My ass is also in it and bruises if you like looking at that too.

Shout out to @fanfi.bsky.social for the magazine cutouts I used to make the cover check out his patreon

All three current parts of Letters for Lucardo are part of our Valentine's Sale! If you are looking for something softer where they still end up in bed together, this may catch your eye! Though aged in appearance Lucardo appears younger than his crush, Ed, he is actually the elder of the pair, and appreciates Ed despite the other's silver age. Though the two hit it off mutually, Lucardo finds pushback from his immortal family.... And if you get all three in the bundle, you'll save even more! https://store.ironcircus.com/collections/vday2026

Tender Erotica? ✅
