Every year on my mum’s birthday I draw her.
I was thinking she’d look really good in the Ghibli-style.
If she were still here she’d be 63.
I miss her a lot.
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.

It’s been fourteen years since my mum passed and I have a lot of feelings on the matter still.
This kind of counts as a special Gender Slices comic I suppose too. I just really needed to post this today.

Happy birthday to my mum in an drawing inspired by that large portrait of Rose Quartz. I have a lot of feelings about when Steven looks up at it. I miss my mum a lot, she would be 61 today and I miss her more than anything.
Just a sketchy comic about my emotions today and lately. About myself, about my gender, about who I am and how I got here. About my mum and what she might think of me now. Thank you to Steven Universe for making me feel like my mum is happy with me. (see Lion 3: Straight to Video)
May 3rd is always tough.
