Valley of the Silk Sky page 17 comes out of hiding

Queer enby monsters sci-fi webcomic Valley of the Silk Sky

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.

queer YA science fiction webcomic Valley of the Silk Sky Daraz Harcos

Chapter 2 of Valley of the Silk Sky begins! These creatures are Daraz (species) Harcos (warrior/hunter caste). Harcos are non-reproducing members of the species. Read the new page here:

I’ve already got a couple of appendix posts up about the Daraz, if you’re in a world-building mood:

Infrared Vision

Social structure and grooming

In other news, the Queers & Comics Conference in NYC is fast approaching! May 7-8 you’ll be able to sit in on jillions of panels about QUEER COMICS.

I’ll be on three panels (Queer Memoir, and Trans/GQ Character Design on May 7, Queer Male Identity on May 8). Check out the full schedule for all the awesomeness.

In other other news, I have a page and a half left to ink on VoSS chapter 3, and then it’s on to painting. EXCITE.

Cheers,

Dylan

Valley of the Silk Sky queer YA science fiction webcomic

Yes, indeed. The final page of chapter 1 of The Long Run is here:

Now might be a good time to read the whole thing through in one sitting, yeah? If you want pagination, here’s page 1 on the Tumbs, and on Studio NDR. If you prefer endless scrolling, head over to Tapastic.

Next week is going to consist of a series of informational world-building posts, which I’ll be adding to the VoSS website and indexing there. I won’t be posting them here because there’s enough chaos in these parts already, but I will put up a reminder.

Chapter 2 will start on April 29, 2015.

In other VoSS news, I finished penciling page 28 last night. Gotta keep that buffer shored up!

Oh, and don’t forget to back the Beyond Anthology Kickstarter! JUST OVER A DAY LEFT. Let’s get this thing to 2,345 backers.

Cheers,

Dylan

Taxonomically Unbound pun webcomic

I completely forgot to upload this here until just now, because I’m a terrible person I guess. (I’m sure jillions of people noticed but were too polite to say anything.)

ANYWAY.

Here is a new Taxonomically Unbound.

I’m late in posting this because I’ve been too busy penciling chapter 3 of Valley of the Silk Sky. I just finished pencils on page 27. I’m VERY SERIOUS about trying to stay ahead on this so there are no unplanned interruptions.

So. There you have it. My solid gold excuse.

Cheers,

Dylan

queer YA science fiction webcomic Valley of the Silk Sky

VoSS page 13 has groggily stumbled out of bed and is now available for your viewing pleasure:

Many of the merchants setting up shop in the markets here are from one of the upper provinces, bringing down goods (especially food items) that are not otherwise easily available in Muru.

I used to do a lot of outdoor art fairs myself, getting up at zero o’clock to set up the EZ-Up tent and all the wares, so I feel for those merchants having to be up so early.

In other VoSS news, you still have just over a week to back the Beyond Anthology Kickstarter! So much queer comic goodness contained within. How can you resist?

Finally, check back on Friday for a new Taxonomically Unbound. The comics, they just keep a-comin’.

Cheers,

Dylan

Got two Taxonomically Unbound comics up today, since I apparently didn’t manage to get one posted last week (travel + convention madness are to blame). But they’re up now and you can read them here and here.

They’re also on Tapastic here and here, if that’s your preferred delivery method.

Finally, don’t forget that I’ll be at HavenCon in Austin, TX this weekend! That’s April 4-5 at the Holiday Inn Midtown. Come for queer comics and other LGBTQIA geekery!

Cheers,

Dylan

Page 12 of Valley of the Silk Sky: The Long Run is up, and it features a poor attempt at lying. Observe:

Coming up this weekend, April 4-5, is HavenCon, and LGBTQIA geek and gaming convention in Austin, TX. I’ll be there with all of my sweet, delicious comics, and will also have a bunch of Northwest Press books at the booth.

You should definitely come check it out!

Emerald City Comic Con is nearly upon us! You can find me at table F-04, in what is turning out to be the Queer Qomics Qlub. I’ve actually lost track of who all the queer comics people are in the F-block, so just, I dunno, bring your bags of money there and and set ’em down.

Politically InQueerect Old Ghosts comic book

What all will I have for you? Well! The hot-off-the-presses print edition of Politically InQueerect: Old Ghosts and Other Stories, the Valley of the Silk Sky chapters 1 & 2 minicomic (which will debut at ECCC), and, of course, copies of Transposes and QU33R. Also, free VoSS bookmarks!

ALSO. Tomorrow night (that’s Thursday, March 26, 2015) I’ll be on the panel at Gay City Arts presents Meet the Author: Drawn To Diversity 2. The link will take you to a Facebook invite with all the deets. The thing goes from 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM, and is being put on by the Gay City Health Project (517 E Pike St, Seattle, Washington 98122).

That’s quite a bit going on, isn’t it. If you want to keep track of the whosits and the whatsits, probably your best bet is to follow me on Twitter: @DylanNDREdwards

Cheers,

Dylan
