August is already nearly over. Goddamn

I’m gonna be tabling this weekend at COMIX THING! So if you’re in the Portland area, you should come see me and other cool indie comic makers at the Lloyd Center, August 23rd!

• Long Exposure V1 softcover, V2 softcover
• Ride or Die chapter 1 softcover [old version]
• Dong Exposure zine
• Mitjo zine
• Long Exposure art zine
• HOT ROD & 2 HOT 2 ROD zines
• Stickers
• pins
• standees
• Patches
• maybe other stuff I’m forgetting

The PDFs and wallpapers were sent out to Kickstarter backers! I might have sent both chapter PDFs to a few people who only ordered one, oops… Some freebies for them.

I just got some book samples from the printers! Here’s how they look:

There’s a few things I need to fix on the covers and some interior pages, and after that I’ll order the full batch for Kickstarter backers! Wahoo

Here’s some print samples I got too!

I did a brand collab recently with SVAKOM! They’re a sex toy shop that reached out for a partnership, so I drew Vick for them. Something so funny about drawing my OCs for brand collaborations. Feels like I’m pimping them out lmfao. These gay idiots are gonna pay my bills one way or another!!

You can use code “marsoids20” on their site and get 20% off your order B)

I also did a collab recently with Wooacry! I’m waiting for the products to be available in my shop before advertising it. So keep a look out for those!

Pages are coming a little slower these days, I’ve been pretty busy with life stuff that I haven’t had as much time to work on them as I’d like!! I also rewrote the script for this chapter a bit, moved some stuff around and edited some dialog, and I think it’s really improved. Got some real HEARTWORMING scenes coming up!

Recently, I’ve brought Sugar to a couple car shows. Something I’ve never really done before, despite having her since 2016. I don’t know why I suddenly felt confident enough to show her off to other car people, but I’m glad I did! They were fun! Always too damn hot out tho…

I love her so much i feel sick

Took Sugar to a car show and I'm easily the youngest person here by 20 years LOL but still fun!
