This is Roxie, a transgender roller derby girl and star of the webcomics Validation and ROXIE. I painted this as part of a series of watercolor paintings as a fundraiser for the Zebra Youth Coalition in Orlando, Florida.
I want to say I painted this with Qor watercolors? It’s actually been so long since I painted it that I forgot!
The original paintings have since sold out. If you see this out in the wild, it’s most likely a print.
I wanted to share this because here in Toledo, OH, it’s PRIDE month! To celebrate, I’m sharing Pride-related illustrations each week during August.
Stay tuned for more Pride art! Or, to get sneak peeks ahead of time, sign up for my email newsletter (it’s free, spam-free, and I don’t sell your email to anybody).
I need to sing some praises because holy banana pants, I love StickerApp, and here’s why.
For one thing, they printed my Godzilla in Booty shorts holographic sticker. Not only did they print it, they printed it BEAUTIFULLY.
For another thing, I love the little details they put into their packaging. Pictured here is the cardstock cover that came with the stickers.
I’ve ordered from Sticker App TWICE now. While the inside is the same (and always silly), the outside features a new artist each time! This time it was TheCreativePain.
Another thing I appreciate – they bundle the stickers so well for shipping. I got, like, 60 Godzilla stickers and none of them were scuffed, torn, or otherwise damaged.
I got these stickers as part of a collaboration between StickerApp and the Cartoonist Co-op. Since I’m a member of the co-op, StickerApp got members like me a promo code to get $30 worth of stickers for free. So that’s how I got these booty-ful Godzillas this time.
Like I said, I ordered from StickerApp once before – they were my printer of choice in the original Godzilla and King Kong Crowdfundr I ran ages ago. They did a great job then, and I’m glad to see they’re still going great work!
Now, I haven’t tried any stickers besides the holographic ones. That said, StickerApp has the best prices for die-cut holographic stickers, in my opinion. If I ever need to print more, I’m going back to them, 100%.
I made a comic about Lake Erie and the toxic algae blooms! You can read it now, freely, on Crucial Comix and The Revelator.
This is my first nonfiction comic publication, aside from a 3-page explainer for a Columbus, OH zine about the 3 Sisters crop arrangement (that’s coming later). I had not made a science comic like this before, and I’m glad I accepted the challenge!
To read the rest of the comic, head to Crucial Comix or The Revelator. Links are above the art.
I want to make more comics like this. The scientists who got me in touch with the biologists for this are expressing interest in working with me again on a separate project. We’ll see who likes the pitch and where we can go with it!
During the making of this comic, I learned *way too much* about Lake Erie. So if you have questions, leave them in the comments and let me know.
In tonight’s livestream, I’m drawing lots and LOTS of comics. And there may even be a sneak peek at a bonus reward for Universal Flaws of Robotics! (That’s on KickStarter right now, and running until August 13.)
It’s been a hot minute since I streamed on YouTube! Today at 7 pm EST, feel free to lurk while I work on some comics!
By the way, “C Stands For…” The C3 Anthology is now on Crowdfundr! That’s running until August 26.
And be sure to check out the LIVE STREAM BINGO CARDS, which are available for free download.
This is DRAG-onball Week, a week of Dragonball characters drawn in drag, or otherwise looking ✨fierce✨.
It’s Day 5, the final day – and who shows up but none other than Janemba.
Don’t know who he is? Take thee to watch Dragonball Z: Fusion Reborn. It’s 45 minutes of sheer wacky hijinks.
Now, the thing to know about the Dragonball Z movies (before Battle of Gods) is – with only one or two exceptions, they are not canon to the TV series. These older movies were made as promotions to show off the anime to people who had never watched it. So you can watch Fusion Reborn and not worry about spoilers.
Janemba is the main antagonist of this movie. Now, he has two forms, but we don’t talk about the first one. This here is an iteration on his second form.
In the original movie, he looks more like this.
But let’s face it, that armor is way too busy. It would distract from the shirt I wanted him to wear.
Also, I just…love drawing Janemba.
Look, he’s nonverbal in the original movie, so I played with his expressions with the idea of treating him less like Perfect Cell and more like a demonic Crash Bandicoot out for mayhem. That’s a big part of why I love drawing him – he’s fun! At least how I do it.
This sticker is coming with me, along with the other DRAG-onball art I’ve been showing for the past week. Tomorrow, July 27, I’m taking these with me to Art Loop Mini Mart in Toledo, OH! They’ll also be available in my Ko-fi shop TODAY. yo.
(If you’re a member on Ko-fi, you’re getting these stickers as part of your rewards.)
and before I go to the Art Loop Mini-Mart, there’s a bonus art piece I want to show off…
