Thanks to the orders and donations I received yesterday afternoon through evening, I’ve been “hired” to do another page of Dicebox to go up on Sunday (not sure when on Sunday, mind) Then the regularly scheduled page on Tuesday. And if this keeps up, I’ll be putting a third up Thursday/Friday.
I also want to express my greatest thanks to all those who have spread the word about this sales drive—90 more books worth of stuff and I can breath again. Original post: Make me do more Dicebox pages per week plus get free shipping.
Above is a sketch I did in one of the books I’ll be sending out today. And though I’ve been expressing my goal and amount achieved in books, there’s still about 15 books with a free sketch left.



You guys want a copy of this book, trust me. You can even read it for free online first and then when your socks are properly knocked off, go get yourself a copy with a sketch by the creator! 
I mean, just look at this wraparound cover (back cover on left side, front cover on right):

    One of the highlights of exhibiting at the Emerald City Comic-Con for me was getting to be a speaker on the Beyond Categories: Non-Binary Sexuality panel!

    Randall Kirby, Leia Weathington, Charles “Zan” Christensen, Ellen Forney, Jason Thompson and myself gathered together to discuss having bi/pan/queer sexualities in a monosexual world where both the straights and the gays don’t accept you (or straight up view you as The Enemy) and our experiences with biphobia– all with a healthy dose of dick jokes and wise-crackin’.

    The anthology on non-binary sexuality that Zan is putting together through his publishing house, Northwest Press, is titled “Anything That Loves”, look for it in July.

    (The video may take a bit longer than normal to load because I accidentally made the file gigantic? Try unselecting “HD” in the bottom right hand corner and also I’m a cartoonist not a video editor sorry I have no idea how to do anything! ;)

    I’m back from representing Sock Dreams at the 2013 Emerald City Comicon! What a wild, busy weekend it was! With other 70k people packed tightly into the Seattle Convention Center, there was always someone new to bump into (quite literally at times!). We were pleasantly surprised to discover that Echo Chernik, the talented lady who designed our logo, was also at ECCC! Check her out modelling our Dreamer and Seattle knee highs above.

    Our giveaway with Periscope Studio was a roaring success, with our three winners (above, bottom row) scrambling to get their photos taken with Periscope’s talented writers and artists. Congratulations, guys! If you’re curious about what we gave away, here’s a list with links:

    • Dar Volume One & Two and Pip! by Erika Moen
    • Underground by Steve Lieber and Jeff Parker
    • Between Gears by Natalie Nourigat
    • Frog Song and Flaccid Badger by Cat Farris
    • Dear Creature by Jonathan Case
    • Two signed prints from The Tragedy Series by Ben Dewey
    • & three $10 Sock Dreams gift cards!

    Attendees also got an exclusive Sock Dreams bookmark and sticker. Didn’t get to go? Well, we’ve got some good news: we have a limited amount of our special edition logo sticker featuring a purple D20! Please specify that you would like the ECCC sticker in your next order; first come, first serve!

    We’ll be seeing you next year, Emerald City! Stay tuned for more info on that…

  • Oh dang, thanks to Kenzie for pointing this out to me! I’m very flattered to be included as a queer comic artist to check out :) Sometimes I’m sad about how much biphobia I’ve encountered from the queer community for falling in love with my partner, but I maintain hope that someday these people who are lashing out with intolerance will remember that there’s room in the acronym for those of us who are not monosexual. The B in LGBT doesn’t stand for Bacon ;)

    LGBTQ* Comic Artists You May Be Interested In

    Erika Moen - artist/writer

    Some of Erika’s illustrations/dialogue is NSFW. Please be advised. Also, some of Tumblr has been really harsh about Erika’s marriage to a cisman and her views of queer politics. If you would like to hear some responses to Erika’s work within the comic industry and her feelings about sexuality as it evolves, I highly recommend watching her visit to Yale video below.

    Shaun Huston interviewed me a few years ago for a documentary about how awesome Portland is as a center for comics-ness: COMIC BOOK CITY. I talk about Portland and comics and community and make a lot of extravagant hand gestures. Trigger warning: uptalk.

    Aw man, Sara is the best! I’m stoked that I got to work with her on the short story Orienteering back in 2007 and that some of the pages were included in this interview with her :D
