Greetings Subscribers,

It's been a weird year, but I'm finally getting back in the swing of things. And I have 2 pieces of urgent news!

BUY THE WRECK-LASS BOOK!
Get physical and digital copies at my store: https://gumroad.com/projectshiro
Mention you're a Tapas reader and I'll throw in a surprise for physical orders. πŸ˜‰

CRASH LANDING PARTY IS COMING
Crash Landing Party is a sci-fi comedy about underdog explorers triumphing in spite of corporate meddling and their own failings. Unlike my previous works it will be a long-form character drama.
Chapter 1 is in the pipeline and I hope to launch Q1 of this year with weekly updates. However, it's the first time I've drawn AND written a comic so bear with me! I've had these folks in my head for 10+ years and I'm excited to finally share them with you!

That's it for now, back to work!

Greetings Subscribers,

The Uncontrollable Wreck-Lass is finally done! Now it's time to print the book! Next week, October 5th, our Kickstarter goes live! As well as signed books we'll be offering stickers, guest art prints, original art, and more!
(Please help us reach our stretch goal so I can do a silly sticker sheet of Glyceons!)

The comic will always be free to read here, but printing it will let us take it to conventions and get it in the hands of more people. Wreck-Lass is the kind of female representation I wish I had when I was a kid, and it's always amazing to see a parent bring their daughter up to the booth to look at Wreck-Lass.

Follow the preview page to be informed the second it goes live, and you'll avoid missing out on the early bird deals: www.kickstarter.com/projects/amoralstingray5/the-uncontrollable-wreck-lass

Thanks again for supporting us!

Once again I'm in need of background characters, so from now until October 1st ALL my Patreon Patrons will get a free cameo in The Uncontrollable Wreck-Lass chapter 11! I can draw you, your family member, OC, or pet. Of course this is in addition to other great perks like monthly wallpapers, early comics, and more.

Greetings Subscribers,

Yesterday I experienced an influx of spam comments on The Uncontrollable Wreck-Lass. This seems to be a site-wide problem and the amazing mods worked very quickly to ban the bots and remove all the comments. I also did my best to remove them all, but please let me know if you see any more.

And remember not to click on any suspicious links. Stay safe out there!

Hey Subscribers,

I was planning on going to Planet Comicon this weekend, but it's been canceled due to Coronavirus concerns. To make up for it I'm running a 15% off sale in my online shop! Use code "PCKCOnline" for the next 2 weeks.
https://gumroad.com/projectshiro

If you enjoy How We Stay Sane @ Work you can get it in paperback and ebook form. I also have lots of magical girl prints and Critical Role art, including stickers I was planning on debuting at the con.

Wreck-Lass fans, the writer has those books over in his shop: http://www.aaronwalther.com/store
I also recommend Zero's Heroes, which is the superhero comedy Wreck-Lass spun out of. (I did the colors!)

I hope you're all staying safe in these crazy times. I'll do my best to keep making stuff that keeps you entertained and distracted!
