Valley of the Silk Sky: The Long Run page 22 is up! THIS WAY FOR READ:

I suppose I ought confess: the rest of the chapter is just Razi opening various drawers and cabinets and proclaiming the contents. FUN!

Also fun: Denver Zine Fest is this weekend! It’s sponsored by the Denver Zine Library, and there will be many exciting activities. I’m signed up to be part of the readings on Friday, June 26, and then I’ll be at the Fest itself on Saturday the 27th. I’ll have all of my books there, plus a handful of Northwest Press titles, so come on down won’t you.

And yes, San Diego Comic Con is nigh! Very, very nigh. Intimidatingly nigh.

I will once again be ensconced at the Northwest Press table, to be found in the Prism Comics booth (#2144). I’m also going to be on a Writing Trans Characters panel that promises to be really awesome. Once SDCC publishes the official programming schedule I’ll let you know the date/time.

Cheers,

Dylan

Valley of the Silk Sky page 21 is here, and really, everything’s probably fine. Nothing to worry about. Not even one single thing. See for yourself:

But yes, Queer Comics Expo! It is this very weekend in San Francisco! I am given to understand there will be QUEER COMICS.

It’s at the Cartoon Art Museum, June 20-21, and in addition to several queertoonists and publishers of queer comics, there’ll also be a ton of awesome programming. I’m on three panels: Non-Monosexual Characters in Comics, Panel Transitions: Trans Representation in Comics, and Teaching Queer: LGBTQ Comics in the Classroom.

So! If you’re in SF and you dig queer comics, you should head on over to this thing!

Cheers,

Dylan

Hmm, what have we here? A destination of sorts? Clap your eyes upon the latest Valley of the Silk Sky page at one of these fine locations:

So! What else. I’ve done the first draft on the thumbnails for chapter 4. I’m letting it sit for a bit so I can go back to it with fresh eyes before moving on to pencils.

In the meanwhiles, I’ll be working on a short piece for an upcoming anthology, about which more later. (I’m only being coy about it because I don’t know what info has been officially released, so I guess I’ll start talking about it more when I know more. But I’ll tell you this: it’s all about … QUEER COMICS.)

Oh, and also! I don’t have the official date/time yet, but I’ll be doing a panel at SDCC2015 on Writing Trans Characters. So if you have plans to be at Comic Con International this year, keep an eyeball out for that. I’ll post the date/time once I get the final schedule.

Cheers,

Transposes by Dylan Edwards comics about transgender people

I am super-excited that Transposes was featured in this Publishers Weekly list of 13 Great LGBTQ Comics. Check it out, there’s a lot of great stuff in there, including two anthologies I’m in, No Straight Lines and QU33R.

It’s very gratifying to be on a short list with the likes of Alison Bechdel and Howard Cruse.

Anyway, go give it a look and check out all these awesome queer comics!

Valley of the Silk Sky: Chapter Three commences

Valley of the Silk Sky: The Long Run page 19 is here:

Be on the alert for giant bioluminescent mushrooms, giant monotreme spider things, giant other stuff, carnivorous this and that. You know, the usual.

In further VoSS news, I’ve finished thumbnailing chapter 4, which means it’s very close to ready to draw. I’m giving it a few days to percolate before I dive in. But chapter 3 will keep us covered for awhile yet.

I also am working on an anthology piece that’s due at the end of July, so comics are just all over the place.

Oh, and if you missed it, there’s a public post up on my Patreon with a bit of world-building info about how Harcos bath time goes down. Features a rather exciting illustration as well.

Anyhow. See you next week for the continuance of Ch. 3!

Cheers,

Valley of the Silk Sky Chapter 3

I expect I’ll finish up the art for the final page of chapter 3 today, which means the whole dang thing will be in the can prior to the start date of June 3. HECK YEAH.

As per usual, I’ve scheduled a mid-chapter break where I do a bunch of world-building posts over on the Valley of the Silk Sky website. These are not essential homework for following the story; they’re just there for people (like me) who enjoy the finer details of all this made-up stuff. Where can you find them? Why, just over here.

I have two more to post this week (on Daraz writing systems, and on the nature of human interaction with the Daraz).

Oh, also, I’ve added another show to the convention schedule. I’ll be at the Queer Comics Expo in San Francisco next month, June 20-21. It’ll be held at the Cartoon Art Museum. More deets on that as it approaches.

See you next week for the start of chapter 3!

Cheers,

Dylan

The conclusion to chapter 2 awaits you at these locations:

AND SO. Chapter 3 will begin on June 3 (or June 1 if you’re a $1+ Patron). I’m excited for this, because it has taken every ounce of my willpower not to spoilerize the crap out of Chapter 3. It’s Just Gonna Be Like That.

Next week will be your regularly-scheduled between-chapters worldbuilding extravaganza over at the VoSS website. So follow along over there if you’re burning to know more about Daraz technology and social order.

Denver Comic Con

And yes, I will be at Denver Comic Con this weekend, May 22-24, 2015!

You can find me at the Northwest Press booth, which I believe is #953.

I’ll also be speaking on the Trans and Genderqueer Representation in Comics panel – Sunday 2:05 – 2:55 – Room 505.

SEE YOU THERE.

Cheers,

Dylan

Valley of the Silk Sky page 17 comes out of hiding

VoSS: The Long Run page 17 is up! It was last spotted in these locations:

Come to think of it, the whole “you’re getting warmer/colder” idiom for directing someone to a hidden object would work well for the Daraz.

In other VoSS news, I’m plowing through coloring the pages for chapter 3 (everything is penciled and inked, so it’s all about the finishing). Right now it’s looking like chapter 3 will start on June 3, so that should be easy enough to remember.

The Queers & Comics Conference this past weekend was truly an amazing experience. I wrote about it a little here. I really hope this event continues, because damn. A conference hall full of queer cartoonists is a beautiful sight indeed.

Cheers,

Dylan

It was very difficult not to post this page immediately after (or, indeed, before) I finished it. BUT IT IS HERE NOW:

Speaking of being places, I’ll be at the Queers & Comics Conference in New York this week, May 7-8.

I’m on three panels: May 7 it’s Queer Memoir from 9:00 – 10:45 AM, and Trans/Genderqueer Character Design from 2:15 – 4:00 PM. Then I’ll be signing at the Prism Comics booth from 4:00 – 5:00 PM.

May 8 I’ll be signing from 3:00 – 4:00 PM, then speaking on the Queer Male Identity in Comics panel from 4:15 – 6:00 PM.

On Saturday, May 9, I’ll be at the School of Visual Arts (133-141 W. 21 St., Rm 101C), along with 30-odd other comix folk, to do a big ol’ queer comics reading. The event goes from 1:30 – 3:30.

See you there!

Cheers,

Dylan

Politically InQueerect Old Ghosts final cover

A couple more reviews for the new PiQue collection from Northwest Press have come in:

The Lambda Literary Review says it’s “an insightful, humorous and unique comic.”

Over at Panel Patter, they declare it to be “a fun, clever story, somewhat akin to a drawing room comedy.”

And don’t forget the Queers & Comics Conference, which is nearly upon us. It’s this Thursday and Friday, May 7-8, at CLAGS: Center for LGBTQ Studies, 365 Fifth Avenue, Room 7115, New York, New York 10016.

I’m on three panels: May 7 it’s Queer Memoir from 9:00 – 10:45 AM, and Trans/Genderqueer Character Design from 2:15 – 4:00 PM. Then I’ll be signing at the Prism Comics booth from 4:00 – 5:00 PM.

May 8 I’ll be signing from 3:00 – 4:00 PM, then speaking on the Queer Male Identity in Comics panel from 4:15 – 6:00 PM.

On Saturday, May 9, you can hear me read some excerpts from PiQue. I’ll be at the School of Visual Arts (133-141 W. 21 St., Rm 101C), along with 30-odd other comix folk, to do a big ol’ queer comics reading. The event goes from 1:30 – 3:30. Details here.

See you soon, New York!
