Qu33r comics anthology

Just a quick note to mention that QU33R won the 2014 Ignatz Award for Outstanding Anthology or Collection! Big congratulations to our editor Rob Kirby, the 33 creators featured in the book (including myself, of course :} ), and Zan Christensen & Northwest Press!

It’s very exciting to be part of another award-winning anthology (No Straight Lines won the 2013 Lambda Literary Award for Best Anthology). And if you haven’t checked out QU33R yet, well, what’re ya waitin’ for, an invitation? (You are cordially invited to check out QU33R.)

politically inqueerect old ghosts archer and gran

Politically InQueerect: Old Ghosts page 31 is up! Another foray into Archer’s past, and a lesson in ghost-wrangling from gran. Read it here on Tapastic, or here on Studio NDR.

Art notes: the poster in the background apes the style 1940s film posters, though a limited-run theatrical play probably wouldn’t have had anything quite so elaborate.

Also, the British don’t really celebrate Halloween, so the late October dates for a horror-themed production are mostly arbitrary.

If you can manage to get over these egregious historical inaccuracies, there’s a lot of Gran’s story to be gleaned from this page.

Cheers,

Dylan

Valley of the Silk Sky – new comic is comin’ atcha

I’ve been working away on the script for my new sci-fi comic series, Valley of the Silk Sky, which you will have already heard me talk about regarding my comic for Beyond. I decided it needed to have its own website, since it is big and sprawling, and trying to cram all of that nerdity in here would just be confusing. SO. If you want to keep up on what’s going on, please follow along on the Valley of the Silk Sky tumblr website.

I will probably (?) also post finished comic pages here? But things like concept art, worldbuilding details, etc. will live over there. So.

The plan is to start publishing the first story arc of the new comic in January 2015. More on that as things develop!

Cheers,

Dylan

Politically InQueerect Old Ghosts

Politically InQueerect: Old Ghosts page 30 is up! I wonder if the old curio cabinet contains any objects of significance. Hmmmm.

Trivia for this page: Todd’s shirt is based on an Oxford University rugby jersey I used to have. I thought it would be funny to color Archer’s shirt Cambridge Blue, you know, as one of those visual jokes that maybe three people will get.

Well, it turns out Oxford cares a LOT more about their branding than Cambridge does. Here, for example, is the best description I could find of what shade Cambridge Blue is supposed to be.

Hell, they didn’t even bother to make it actually be blue.

Meanwhile, Oxford has an extensive branding toolkit available online to make sure you get the exact right Pantone shades for each of their pre-approved colors.

Spoiler alert: I did NOT Pantone match Todd’s jersey. Sorry, Oxford.
