Cool Comic Recommendation
If you’ve read EK’s previous work TJ & Amal, which is one of my all time favourites and I also highly recommend, you’ll want to check this one out. It’s absolutely gorgeous, heartbreaking, sweet, and very real. The story follows Tre, a photographer, and Olly, a storm chaser, as they hop in Olly’s old station wagon to follow a storm during the pandemic and dealing with the world crumbling around them. EK’s characters always feel so real, like I could just bump into them in real life.
CW: Contains sensitive and heavy content
Lupin Zine Preorder Extravaganza

Three Lupin zines I’ve been working on have preorders for physical copies open AND digital copies are available right now! More details can be found in here, but I am so stoked to get these books out into the world. The three of us worked really hard on our pinup zine Things Exchanged, and Max and I couldn’t be happier with how After All These Years turned out. I hope you’ll read them.
Buy them on the Topaz Shop | Buy the PDFs on Itch.io

Commissions

Photography Corner
So for the last 2 years I started getting into film photography and thought I’d finally start posting some of those online. This is a just for fun hobby and I’m going to try really hard not to stress about scheduling posts and such.

Cool Comics
I thought I’d try something new this year with a comic recommendation every month! I’ll be putting links to these comics in my blog’s side bar too.

Lacey is a good friend of mine but I’m not starting with Lies Within because of that, I’m starting with Lies Within because you NEED to read it. It’s fun, it’s witty, it’s modern and supernatural. I won’t say too much because I don’t want to give too much away but go read it you won’t regret it!
Ladies of Lupin Zine

I thought I’d posted this already but didn’t! Max and I did a 4 page gay Fujiko comic for the Ladies of Lupin zine which you can still order here: https://ladiesoflupiniii.bigcartel.com/
Profits from this project will be donated to National Network of Abortion Funds
Other things
I finally did a small rebrand, changing up my display picture and banner for the first time since 2025. I have a small moustache now after all!
Max and I have applied for a few conventions already; TCAF (Toronto, June 7-8, 2025), Citrus Con (Remote, June 20 – June 22), NIF (Remote, May 2025) and will be applying for Dashcon 2 tomorrow. I’ll be sure to let y’all know if we get in to these!
Max and I will have a garage sale booth at Nerd Market 5 on February 23rd from 12pm-4pm

Hope y’all are staying safe out there

Happy new years everyone and stay safe!
Let me thread you up some TRANS COMICS I’ve worked on over the years!
Gender Slices is my autobio comic that I started in 2016 which became a graphic novel upon it’s completion. I’m currently doing a small HRT Diary follow up!
Pages are up for free at: topazcomics.com/genderslices/vol1
I have oh so many comics about trans joy over on ohjoysextoy.com/category/jeypawlik and I am so grateful to Oh Joy Sex Toy for giving me so much space to autobio about being trans! 
My one page comic for the “When I Was Me” anthology. A moment between myself and one of my niblings at the cottage. He was quite pleased when I’d told him I did a comic about us! www.quindriepress.com/books/p/wiwm 
My first big anthology was “We’re Still Here: An All-Trans Comics Anthology” (that won a 2019 Ignatz) I’d written this during the limbo period between names and waiting for my new birth certificate.

Given & Taken is a short fancomic written by @octokracken and might still be one of my favourite comics we’ve done together.
It’s “Jigen is trans and Lupin finds out” the comic.
It’s for sale as a PDF or physical copy https://topazcomics.com/shop/product-tag/given-taken/

Trans media is important and if you can’t find them from the big corps, remember there’s always indie folks who’re doing the good work! Representation is out there!
I’m cookin’ up some stuff over on Patreon, and my work is ALWAYS going to be queer!
It’s been so nice to really delve back into personal art this month. Things are happening!
