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!

JAPAN!
Max and I just got back from our honeymoon in Japan and it was absolutely incredible! We went to Tokyo, Hakone and Kyoto, got to take the subway, bullet train and a really cute retro streetcar. Of course we bought a lot too!
I’m thinking about drawing a travelogue about our trip, since Max and I kept journals while we were there we have pretty detailed notes along with the 900ish photos we took between the two of us.
I may make a separate photo post once I organize all my photos and get my film photos back from my camera lab (I took a film camera with me as well).
We had an incredibly clear view of Mt. Fuji herself!
MCX 2024
Max and I will be boothing at the Mississauga Comics Expo again this year as Topaz Comics!

For now, I’m done my big video game contract and I cannot wait to share this game with you all! I’m so proud of the work the team did on this.
I’m taking the rest of the year to focus on personal art, catch up on webcomic work, and post regularly to Patreon and my VIP Blog again! Things that’ll be starting up again in the next week: Alola Darumaka and The Curtain Falls!
Might make a photography portion on my blog to share some of the photography I’ve been doing as a hobby, it’s been a lot of fun!

My souvenir goal for Japan was to buy myself a really nice fancy pen and I succeeded! This is a Sailor Profit 1911 21k with a zoom nib, it’s kind of like a fude and the nib is really neat.
Hey and if you want to learn about fountain pens, maybe check out the zine I did with my good pal Amiel

The Trans Comics Bundle #1
Today’s also the last day to support this trans-only comics bundle by DCS on itch.io!
Max and I put Given & Taken forward and y’know I’m still real proud of that comic. We’re so close to our next goal so go grab some trans comics and help support trans creators!

Early in their partnership, Jigen is shot and when Lupin tries to help he discovers something he didn’t know about his partner. Unsure of how to react Lupin falls into old habits and is surprised when it doesn’t work out as planned.
This zine does not contain sexual content but does contain nudity and realistic depictions of an external genitalia prosthetic. Viewer discretion recommended.
Content warnings: Misgendering, language, blood, nudity, packer/dildo
Extras include: – Thanks for reading page – 2 extra comics (ft. Fujiko and Zenigata) – Turbodick specs & features – Michelle’s scripts and thumbnails (ft. my cover thumbnails)
Other things
Nearing the last ten tasks on my NDA game project with some on-call work for October/November and hopefully I’ll be able to share info about the game soon!! Stay tuned.
I’m taking most of October off to work on personal art and do some fun day trips with my spouse Max. We’ve been pretty non-stop since last January so it’ll be nice to have some time to do some fun things.
I’m trying to get into photography as a hobby that I WILL NOT monetize and that’s been real fun. I’ve got a 1994 Pentax film camera, an Instax Mini 11 and a small Panasonic Lumix DSLR that I’ve been playing around with. The tough part is I always want to bring all three camera with me every where I go. Maybe I’ll post photos somewhere online at some point after I recover from being real busy.
If you’re a Lupin fan, also check out the Lupin Forum I’m hosting weekly art prompts over there, so come draw with us!
