A digital, pencil-style drawing of Lou, a skinny wasian cowgirl with a black bob and cyan skin, falls throughout an oversized queen of hearts card. She is wearing a dingy green bra, red cowboy boots, and an embarrassed expression.

Book cover for the YA book ICEBREAKER by A.L. Graziadei showing the two male main protagonist facing each other and holding onto each others collar.

Digital art of my original characters Aran and Tao as young adults out at night in their local nyc neighborhood kissing. Tao sits on a bicycle and Aran bends down slightly to kiss him.

Mock cover of Suzanne Samin and my upcoming graphic novel. The title still r wads Fear Of Falling but we changed it now to Wherever I’m With You.

The cover shows a brick house fall and Aran and Tao sitting on the rooftop, their legs dangling down the edge, and in big letters underneath them it reads “fear of falling”

Digital art of original characters Aran and Tao as young teenagers on a hot summer day walking down the streets in their local nyc neighborhood and playing around with a basketball.

Denver Leary spent the last three (3!!) chapters of KEEPING TIME trying to get the reserved, attractive pianist he used to know to (re)join his band. He FINALLY succeeded except it's, uh, off to a rough start

#KeepingTime #webcomics

🎸 Latest update: keepingtimecomic.com
🎸Start from the beginning

A panel from the webcomic KEEPING TIME. Three dudes in a band are in their practice space experiencing a full range of emotional reactions to a new band member joining them. The bassist, Stef, crosses his arms surlily, Tomás, the drummer, is an excitable toddler, and Denver holds his hands out at Stef in a 'dude, what gives' gesture as he asks, "Stef, buddy? You wanna say hi back, or...?"

We're live, folks! @matthtaylor.com and I have a blood-curdling body-horror story in this talent-packed anthology, about TRANS WITCHES hunting a MONSTER. Of course, that mission goes horribly, horribly wrong.

Hey! I'm E.M., I make comics & a bunch of other stuff! I just published a graphic novel called The Last Band On Earth which you can get from my shop here: ko-fi.com/s/ec1f7cdea3 (digital version here as well - ko-fi.com/s/a00aca22ef )
And here's where else you can find me: cuckoosnestpress.carrd.co

Cover illustration for Hexagon Magazine, depicting two figures in hazmat suits reflected in a pond. They are holding hands and walking away together. The ground is covered with fungi and spore dander. There is a large smiling frog in the far foreground in the bottom right corner.

A page from my graphic novel The Last Band On Earth, depicting two characters, Nat and Rick, on a rooftop in a windstorm, battling an evil eldritch being that resembles a biblically accurate angel, but with bat wings instead of feathery angel wings, and several long strands of sinew stretching out from its midsection in all directions. Rick is hooking his phone up to a guitar amplifier with a dongle and searching through his files to find something loud to play through the amplifier. Yup!

An acrylic painting of a dead tree trunk split down the center into three pieces, surrounded by rocks and foliage. A small black blob with eyes is perched on the edge of one of the stump pieces, peering out at the viewer on the right side. Another identical black blob is crawling on the ground behind the stump at the left.

An old hollowed out car, an Austin Mini, parked in a driveway. There are several stylized ghosts drifting out of it. The colour palette is entirely monochrome red, giving the whole piece an eerie atmosphere.
