An Ignorance of Romance, created by Kai and myself, is now on indefinite hiatus.
I’m not going to get into too much detail about it here, but there are private issues happening at this time. Things may escalate before calming down.
If and when An Ignorance of Romance returns, I (Kelci) will take over the writing duties, not just the art. When that is? That has yet to be determined.
The Legend of Jamie Roberts will continue as normal, but if it, too, needs to be put on hiatus, I will inform you ASAP.
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?!
Today’s vlog is all about comparing House Girls to Mare Internum, and why I think House Girls succeeds on more levels.
You can read House Girls on the Stela app for iOS, where it updates weekly, and read Mare Internum online. Read both and decide for yourself which one you like.
It really means a lot to me that you believe in this little love story of a trans man and a nerd girl. We needed more comics for and about trans men, and thanks to you, a new one is coming soon.
But it’s not quite over yet!
There are TWO stretch goals Kia and I want to unlock.
If we can get to $650, that means Kia can get a $100 stipend for all her work writing this comic. She was a little hesitant but I insisted on this one. She co-created this comic! She deserves a reward, too.
If we can get to $750, that means we can make 20 pages of comics!
We have other stretch goals in mind, but these two are ones we want to accomplish first.
Thank you for pledging to Seeing Him, the Webcomic! If you haven’t yet, please do so and help us reach our next goals. And please, help us spread the word!

No, really.
I’m so proud of this new commission I finished for a friend of mine. The client is an old high school friend of mine and the commission was to draw her family.
From left to right, they are: Delias, Kendall, Andris, Jake, Zo, Leon, Margie, and Itzal.
At the moment, I’m not available for commissions. There’s a few things I need to sort out with my day job first.
Once I’m available, though, I’ll announce it here on the blog and on my Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr.
Thanks for checking out the new work! There will be more of it soon.
