The Janemba sketches I mentioned are somewhere during this archived live stream if you want to watch (there are tons of other sketches, as well, if you like sketchbook tours).

Jamie is not a boy or a girl – they’re a pirate! And they found this unfinished map with their friends, so they’re going treasure-hunting in an unexplored land. But along the way, Jamie and friends find magic, restless spirits, dragons, and a tyrant locked away for centuries, coming back to haunt the people across the land…
Volume 1 (which will be available as an add-on) collected Chapters 1 through 4 of The Legend of Jamie Roberts. What we’re asking for is funding for Volume 2, to get Chapters 5 through 8 in one shiny book – with bonus content!
WHY?
The Legend is the story I wish I had as a genderqueer teenager, trying to figure out my gender identity and my place in the world. Jamie is the protagonist my teenage self WISHES they had.
At first, I made The Legend of Jamie Roberts to fulfill my teenage wishes. Wishes for validation, magic, dragons, and adventure. And along the way, readers found The Legend – and REALLY resonated with the story. Which is how we’ve made it to 8 chapters long! And there are plans for more. But first…
If you don’t have Volume 1 yet, that’s ok – Volume 1 is available as an add-on reward for this campaign! (You can also read the webcomic version for free, but the print edition has remastered art and bonus content not available on the website).
For Volume 2, we’re also working with a different printer – Comix Well Spring! They’re giving a partner’s discount for running this campaign on Crowdfundr, which means less printing cost, and a more affordable price for you, the backer!
So if you love pirates and dragons and magic and mayhem, what are you waiting for?!
This enormous piece marked the first large tattoo I’ve been commissioned to make. I made this entirely in Clip Studio Paint, though the initial concept had been drawn in my Strathmore sketchbook.
I left the edging as-is so the tattoo artist could interpret the border as needed. They can add more smoke, do a fade, or do anything else they feel confident they can do.
If you like this piece, then I hope you consider working with me! I’m available for commissions. I have two sets of rates – one for commercial use, and one for personal use. In this case, this tattoo commission would fall under “personal use.”
To get a commission like this one for personal use, check out my rates on Ko-Fi.
If you have commercial work for me, email me at kelcidcrawford@gmail.com with more details. As detailed on my Hire Me page, I can do comic book covers, posters, and other work.
Today at 2 pm EDT, I’m drawing a page for my webcomic, The Legend of Jamie Roberts! Tune in if you love dragons, genderqueer pirates, and kicking monster butt.
Got questions? I’ll answer them LIVE! But you need to post them in either YouTube or Twitch chats.
