Hey, I was wondering, what pens do you ink your comics with?

ohhboyyyy!!! this is my kind of question!

It changes up every so often. I did a post about how I make comics about a year ago now: here

And now I use different pens, which I’ve also started reviewing on my patreon.

But right now my favourites are:
Sailor Fude de Mannen 55
Kuretake 13
Pilot Metropolitan
Fountain Pen Revolution flex Guru

So I hope those are some good recs for you, I’m always ready to talk about pens!

Q&A
Gender Slices: A comic about Dean

A while back I did a mini Gender Slices comic: “Dean”. The story of how I got my first taste into defying gender stereotypes. I was about 8 and it was 1998 so things were pretty different. I still have Dean and he’ll remind me of all I’ve been through and how far I’ve come!

A few people asked for it to be posted as a whole so here it is!

Gender Slices can be read on Topaz Comics & Tumblr, as well as early access pages on Patreon!

Gender Slices: is an autobio comic about my own thoughts an experiences with gender and identity. I am nonbinary and use they/them pronouns.

Dead City Update Chapter 25 page 4

You should relax JP!

Also heads up that we’re going on comic hiatus throughout May–but never fear there will be GUEST COMICS to fill the void!

Dead City: A zombie apocalypse has happened and Mikael and JP are left in the city trying to survive after most of the population has fled. A slice-of-life post-apocalypse comic. Sometimes you find love in weird places. Like when you’re trying not to get eaten.

#transdayofvisibility 2018

It’s #transdayofvisibility and I just wanted to make a post about it.

I’ve been out to the public for 3 years today and it only gets better and easier. People are understanding and more respectful (mostly).

But for those people who aren’t out, or can’t be out yet I want to be a voice for you. I want to show you that you’re not alone.

So I want to strive making queer and trans friendly comics for everyone to enjoy.

I’m the artist for “Dead City” which is written by my partner Michelle. It’s a zombie apocalypse story with more character development than zombies.

I also draw and write an autobio comic “Gender Slices” about my own experiences with gender all based off things that have really happened to me.
