Ash in the Wind is now a member of SpiderForest collective!

That means from now on, you can read new pages every Thursday on its own website! It will always be at least one week ahead of mirrors (except for patreon 😉)

Check it out!

Neil and Lex, the main characters of my webcomic Ash in the Wind, are in a dark forest alarmed by a large purple spider dropping down on them. The spider is SpiderFriend, the mascot of SpiderForest collective!

There's a small introduced population of red whiskered bulbuls in the san gabriel valley, where you can also find acorn woodpeckers! Fitting since so many asian immigrants live there

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

Here’s a small preview of a comic that I’m working on for We Are Los Angeles, a middle-grade anthology made up of 20+ stories all created by Los Angeles writers and artists, in support of local wildfire relief!

a night scene of a classic los angeles style spanish home, but miniature and seated at the foot of a tree. the inner windows are lit up and there are music notes floating around the home.

an interior view of the home depicting anthropomorphic reptiles and amphibians at a new year's eve party.
