I'm launching a Patreon! For folks who are unfamiliar: Patreon is a way to give small recurring financial support to an artist. Since my books are research-intensive and my style is (lol) intricate, it is months or years of work before I have a product that is ready to sell. My goal is to offset the cost of childcare for 2 days/week so I can return to a regular schedule of work. If you become a patron you can get a behind-the-scenes peek at projects I'm working on. Thanks for considering! (Also: skip to 3min 26sec in the video for a Very Cute summation.)

» Chicago Alternative Comics Expo, CAKE! Mop and Fuzz crash through the green house of Jazzy Milkman’s chaotic desert bungalow on a V8 motorbike “borrowed” from a dead guy.
