"The story goes like this: There once was a girl named Dawa. Having lost her family to sickness, she found herself with an emptiness inside that she did not know how to fill. Alas, in all her endeavours, nothing she tried ever left her feeling so full as the art—of trickery."

Hey all! The lovely publisher ShortBox is currently winding down operations, so I wanted to remind people that this will probably be the last year you'll be able to acquire my ✨Ignatz Award✨ winning comic CRY WOLF GIRL in print, unless you live in Australia and go to comic festivals often.

The comic is a reinterpretation of The Boy Who Cried Wolf, and I think it's some of my best work to date. The book is 48 pages, with lovely print quality and sexy french flaps. You can buy it here:

In the ShortBox shop,

though if you're US based, you might get better shipping here:

From the Gallery Nucleus store,

but the stock there is probably limited.

Due to the shuttering of the ShortBox store, Cry Wolf Girl is now available for the first time outside my Patreon as a digital PDF!

You can grab it here.

Reblogs are much appreciated!

Not french just someone with a publisher crazy enough to pay for flights all the way from Australia. I used my special ability "copy and paste" to steal the text from my publisher's posts 😔

Not sure how many French followers I have here but I'll be in France over the next couple of weeks to present the French language edition of Cry Wolf Girl!! I'm doing signings for a couple of hours at each of the listed places, usually in the late afternoon-evening. Hopefully I'll remember to post the actual times for these here but I'll definitely put them up on instagram and twitter.

Come say hi! Come buy the book! It's like twice as big and hardcover now!

I'll also be there with @reimenaashelyee who'll be signing copies of The Carpet Merchant of Konstantiniyaa 👀

in celebration of bowuigi somehow being the 6th top ship on tumblr this year I would like to remind everyone that overflow copies of the zine are still available on the shortbox store!

Bowser and Luigi are in love - but there's a spanner in the works: Mario! Across multiple universes, Bowser and Luigi find each other again and again.

You asked, we answered! The legendary Bowuigi Zine print edition is BACK for a limited time, 10 day only preorder campaign. I've teamed up with ShortBox for one last tango, bringing you a bumper edition of the original zine. With 11 new pages of content (including two minicomics!), the book is now a whopping 44 pages in total.

It introduces new characters such as "cunty luigi" and "golf", and even includes a cameo from the one and only Princess Peach, who shows herself to be an ally for the ages.

Preorders close on the 14th of April, and this will be--and I can't stress this enough--your absolute last chance to get the zine in print. The book will not be for sale in the ShortBox store after this period.

So don't delay, grab your copy here!

Some old Bedfellows style visdev. A colour test and a test to see how tracing 3D backgrounds (modelled in blender) would look. Though the final colour style is a bit more "full colour" looking, the way I approach using 3D sets for recurring locations stayed much the same--though I filled this set out a bit after this experiment.

Strange Bedfellows (2025)

Oberon is finding his way back after a very public “breakdown,” but when he develops the ability to conjure his dreams in real life—including a facsimile of his high school crush, Kon—he might have more on his plate than he originally thought.

Strange Bedfellows is my new sci-fi romance graphic novel from Harper Collins, coming to you in 2025. This is why I've been on hiatus from Witchy for the past couple of years! The pages above were made for my pitch to publishers, and don't reflect the final product, but I still think they're a neat introduction to the story and world. I'm gonna try my best to post about it more on here. <---guy who got a couple of tagged reblogs on their previous post and has awakened the dopamine machine
