We’re Still Here: A Trans Anthology Comic “ID’d”

Comic page, a transmasc individual walks through an LCBO (Canada's government owned liquor store). They walk through the aisles lined with wine bottles. Their phone begins to vibrate and we see it's "Theo" with a photo that shows these two are twins.
Our protagonist picks up the phone: Hey bro. Yeah, they have it. Anything else? They pause and we do not hear what Theo is saying but it takes our protagonist off guard. They respond: Uh! No, I haven't seen it. They're now very nervous and sweaty but walk up to the cash. Still on the phone they say: When I get home I'll help you look for it. Yeah. Okay. Bye. The cashier deadpan asks: You got ID? Our protagonist looks nervously away and then back to the cashier with a fake smile. They say: Y-yeah! One sec! In their wallet, they have their Ontario Driver's License which shows an old photo that no longer looks like our short haired, sideburned protagonist. The name reads "Diana Jolie Archer" and the sex is "F". However, they pull out a second ID from behind it that looks more like our protagonist and reads "Theodore Joel Archer" with the sex being "M", the implied missing object from the phone conversation. The cashier holds the ID up to our protagonist and okay's it. Our main character sighs with relief as they leave the store with a paper bag. They say: It's only for one more week. As they anticipate their new ID to come in.

A while back I was in the anthology “We’re Still Here”, and now I’ve been given permission to post my full comic. It’s a story I’ve been playing with for a while, especially since this was written before I changed my name and gender marker on my own ID. The characters featured here might also show up again soon, so look out for them~

Where is Home

My comic from the Where is Home anthology that was successful on kickstarter last year. I’m still very proud of this, as it’s very meaningful to me. Based on a dream I had shortly after applying for the anthology. So here’s the full comic for those who didn’t get the chance to get the book, and I also wanted to post it on my website.

Hey everyone! I want to tell you about this fantastic kickstarter going on right now for the second volume of Where is Home! This anthology was made by Vanessa Stefaniuk after the success of the first Where is Home anthology.

The anthology explores each artists take on ‘home’. I have a seven page comic in this book, and my piece is very near and dear to my heart. I lost my mother to cancer eleven years ago this month, and I wanted to do something about her, for her. Thus I dedicate my comic to Sheila Pawlik.

On a happier note, you can even get commissions from me in my tier ‘J.Pawlik’s Home’! I will be doing sketched and inked commissions on 8.5"x11" cardstock for you! Aren’t physical rewards the best? No limitations! Though there’s only five slots, so think fast!

I hope you all take a look and if you can’t donate, please signal boost! Thank you all and wish us luck!
