Hi, I'm Sawah!
By day, I am a children's book illustrator, but by night/different times of day, I make comics of my characters, Jon and Alex!

Hey everyone! It's been a hot minute since I've popped in here.

Thank you so much for your patience during my break from IKOAFS. I really can't express how grateful I am for your support and for sticking around while the comic and, really, my entire social media presence has been on hiatus.

I truly didn't anticipate being gone this long; I feel like I've blinked and it's suddenly May. I also haven't been completely truthful about my absence. In addition to being busy with moving and working on a big, secret project with my job -- I've also been dealing with a family emergency since late last year. Things have finally become stable enough to speak about it, and if you'd like to see the full context of what's been happening, please refer to this public post on my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/where-ive-been-104533232

I'm still trying to find a new life/work/social media and comic balance with everything going on, and I unfortunately can't promise or foresee how active I can be in the future. Regardless, Jon, Alex, and their story still brings me a lot of joy, and I hope they do for you too. I'm excited to share more work with you all -- in whatever capacity I can -- in the future 🥰💗

Don't worry love! Just glad to hear you're ok. Hope you stay healthy and well rested. Take your time to find your balance and see you in the future. 😉💕

Hey y’all!

Some big life changes have been happening behind the scenes 👀✨ most notably, after being with my long distance partner for the past 6 years, I’ve finally moved in with him in Australia!! I’m also working on a big project (that I can’t speak about just yet 👀) and on a less fun note, am recovering from Covid after the flight to my new home 🥲

Because of all this, I have to take a little break from IKOAFS. I aim to return in January, but will let you know if the hiatus needs to be extended.

Thanks for reading, hope you have a happy holiday season and happy new year!! 🥰

Thanks so much for your patience while I’ve been on my hiatus! The time has been very healing and I can’t wait to return! 🥰

I originally wanted to resume posting our webcomic tomorrow, 9/23 — but have been traveling all last weekend and have not had a chance to wrap up the planned episodes. I need a little more time to get everything ready, so we’ll return next Saturday, 9/30!

Things to look forward to in the new chapter: lots of smiley-Alex, a good dose of sibling content, and the return of a few characters we haven’t seen in a while…👀

I can’t wait to share it all — and hope you’ll enjoy it too!

(This also means that the 100k dtiys deadline is extended to next Saturday! There’s been over 150 entries and I’ve truly loved seeing all of them 😭💗💗)

Hey guys! It's been a couple weeks since my series launched to the Early Access program on here -- and I just wanted to say thank you. The support you have shown just reminds me of how kind this community is and I couldn't be more grateful for y'all 😭💗

I also wanted to give a notice that Chapter 8 will have 12 episodes, instead of my original estimate of 10! If you're planning to skip this chapter because of the content warnings, please feel free to pick up again after the chapter ends on April 1, 2023. I'll share some bullet points to recap what happened at that time as well so you won't fall behind.

Thanks so much for reading! I hope you enjoy the rest of the chapter! 🥰🥰

Thank you for your consideration for more sensitive readers. I'll definitely be reading the chapters, but it's good to have a heads-up!

Hey, Sawah, thanks for subscribing to my story! I love both of your comics and look forward to every update. I genuinely worry about the state of Alex's shoes, too. Mainly I worry because I've got shoes just like them.

Anyway, I don't know whether it's appropriate to post my usual "thanks for subscribing" thing on your wall. I'd hate like hell for you to think that I was only here to promote my own stuff. If it's too much, feel free to delete, I will not take it as an insult.

Hey guys! I've been very swamped with work and deadlines these past few weeks, so unfortunately no new webcomic update today :(

Things should be back on track by next week though, hope to see you then! 🥰🥰
