I've decided to remove all of my comics from Tapastic. You can still find them at http://www.studiondr.com/ and http://valleyofthesilksky.tumblr.com/
I know I've been really quiet on here lately, and I will soon be getting back to working on Valley of the Silk Sky. But the cause of much of the quietness was me working on a new comic for The Nib, and that very comic is now live! It's an autobio piece about being queer, asexual, and trans.

Heading out to Seattle today for Emerald City Comic Con! In general you'll be able to find me and/or my books at the Northwest Press booth #1227.

I've made a fancy shmancy hi-res PDF of Part One of Valley of the Silk Sky (collecting chapters 1-5) for your offline-reading pleasure. It'll be available to the public on March 2 on Gumroad, and you can pre-order right now: https://gum.co/VKkRW
VoSS has also been accepted for ComiXology Submit, so more details on where to get that once there's an official release date.

One last push on this! The ALPHABET Kickstarter is in its final couple of days, and is less than $2K away from funding. I have an exclusive comic in the anthology, along with over 40 other awesome creators. And. AND. I have an illustration of Edward Gorey in the coloring book, which you can peep in the latest update. Check it out, and then back the book if you haven't already!

Did you know that in addition to comics I also make monster figurines and art? Well, I do, and I just listed a bunch of new Feeping Creatures stuff in my Etsy store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/feepingcreatures
Esteemed y'all: I have a brand new comic in ALPHABET, a queer comics anthology that just went up on Kickstarter. There are a ton of great creators in this book, including several established artists and a bunch of up-and-comers. There's also a nifty backer reward in the form of a coloring book, to which I have contributed an illustration. Anyway, you should check it out and throw it some support! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1855150928/alphabet-anthology
Hey, everyone! I have a brand new comic up on Fusion about transgender representation in media. Check it out here: http://fusion.net/story/224413/dylan-edwards-trans-visibility-comic/
If any of you fine folks are going to be at APE in San Jose, CA this weekend (Oct 3-4), you can find me at the Northwest Press booth! We're at 408/309. More deets on the show here: http://www.alternativepressexpo.com/
Are you going to be at San Diego Comic Con next week? You can find me at the Northwest Press table in the Prism Comics booth (2144). We'll be selling copies of Politically InQueerect: Old Ghosts, Valley of the Silk Sky, Transposes, QU33R, and more! I'll also be speaking on the Writing Transgender Characters panel on Thursday July 9 at 5:00 PM in room 28DE. Further details here: http://sched.co/3kTC
I saw you at Haven Con in Austin, and I didn't have enough money to buy transposed, but now I do! Yay! How can I do that? May I get it electronically? Sorry, I know this is a weird place to ask this question.
No worries, I'm always happy to tell folks where to buy my books. :D You can get it direct from my publisher, either print or digital: http://northwestpress.com/shop/transposes/
Awesome! Thanx! Also, any chance you'll be making it out to HavenCon next year? It should have a much better turnout.
Not sure; I haven't quite gotten that far in planning out my 2016 calendar yet. :)
Hell, here's hoping!
