Hi #portfolioday! I’m Lainey Williams, a cartoonist and illustrator. I love to write and draw queer romance, surreal fantasy, and strange horror comics.

agent: @litagentsaritza.bsky.social

Color comic page showing a woman in front of a forest of trees lit red and shadowed blue by the setting sun. She looks out at the sun, then turns back toward her sled filled with pinecones. As she does, there’s an insert panel of a goose’s wings pressing down in flight. The woman, Marika, turns back toward the setting sun to see the goose’s silhouette. Her stomach rumbles. She grips her bow and begins to short-ski up a snowy hill toward the goose and the setting sun.

A page from the webcomic Crash Coral, written by Randall Avilez and drawn by Lainey Williams.
Panel 1: a teen girl in a sweatshirt pours syrup on her pancakes. “I—I think—No, I am gay. I’m gay.”

Panel 2: her dad shoves food in his mouth while her mom sips coffee. They’re in a diner.
Dad: …ok.
Mom: Are you…Did you realize this only recently? Is…someone bullying you or something?

Panel 3: Coral, the teen, slides down on her vinyl seat, looking frustrated.
Coral: No no one’s bullying em. I woulda just punched them.
Dad: Right.
Coral: But yeah, I just found out or whatever at the show…on friday?

Panel 4: Coral looks up at the ceiling fan turning above her head.
Coral: And I think I’m in love with ricki…

Panel 5: Her parents stare at her, frozen for a moment. Dad’s mouth is still full of food.

Panel 6: Same composition, but Dad is grinning arrogantly and Mom is rolling her eyes with a smile.
Mom: Don’t even say it.
Dad: Wasn’t gonna—
Mom: I don’t know how you even knew.

Comic page showing three girls walking into a mock Guitar Center called Monster Music.
Panel 1: From left to right, they say “Wow!” “You guys seriously haven’t been to Monster Music before?” “Nope!”

Panel 2: Mikey, the white girl on the left, says “They have everything!” Kira: “Including a backup generator.” None of them acknowledge the huge floaty rift in reality crossing through the ceiling

Panel 3: Kira looks on as the other two girls wander away.
Kira: We still have a lot of stuff to unpack…
Daniela: I just wanna look around for a second.
Mikey: Yeah, be right back.

A comic page without text, rendered in bright pinks, cyans, oranges and yellows.

P1: a roadside diner at sunset with a pink mountain range in the background. IT’s called the redwood diner, ad the sign is backed by a stylized cloud with a sun peeking out behind it.

P2: Two white women sit at one of the tables at the diner. One has long brown hair in an updo and is wearing a pink dress. She’s in the middle of putting a fry in her mouth. Her friend is looking over at her. She has wavy, short green hair and a trench coat on.

P3: View over the girls’ heads. An orange doorless jeep is visible pulling off of the mountain highway into the parking lot of the diner.

P4-5: The two women run down behind the diner into the redwoods that surround it. There’s an insert panel of a blonde white man in a letterman’s jacket shouting at them—apparently the driver of the jeep.

P6: The brown-haired girl runs ahead, but looks over her shoulder at the green-haired girl.

Girl, just text her! What’s the worst that’s gonna happen????

A green lesbian furiously texts her crush, her inner goblin burned away and transformed tries to stop her. The green lesbian pauses over the send message button which she then dramatically presses, her frantic missive sending.

💀The Ghostly Galliard💀

An illustration of two lesbian ghosts dancing. The left hand ghost wears a 1760s silk sack gown, the right hand wears an early 1500s style gown with puffed sleeves and a short cape with feathered beret. They are both blue and translucent.

They are in a heavily wooded and overgrown graveyard, a lone candle burning with a blue flame sits on top of a slab grave beneath them.

The illustrated border shows as follows: On top, clasping carved stone hands emerging from yew branches with berries. To the sides: tin lanterns with candles burning, carved stone hourglasses & carved stone broken columns. Beneath: Vaults based upon the Circle of Lebanon at Highgate Cemetery flanked by trees.

The Hearth (1/21)

A sapphic horror comic about witchcraft and hunger in the dead of winter.

An illustrated cover for a short comic called The Hearth by lainey williams. A cabin sits in a clearing in a snowy forest. The small windows in the log cabin are lit yellow and there is a trail of blood through the snow leading to the door. Smoke rises from the cabin’s chimney to surround the title. On either side of the smoke are illustrations in the style of Karelian embroidery, showing stylized geometric patterns in red thread. On the left side embroidery section, there is a depiction of a woman kneeling. her hands are stained red and she wears a headscarf. Opposite her is a woman standing. Instead of a left arm she has a wing. Over the top of the image, two geese shaded in red fly over the cabin and smoke. The trees all around the cabin are shaded in dark blue.

People always go “oh no it’s not stupid” and they clearly haven’t read it because it absolutely is. It’s the stupidest thing in the world, that’s the point.

As someone with experience on both sides of the fence here (a cartoonist without enough time to do all they’d wish, and someone who recently tried to get others to fill out a survey and was surprised by who didn’t) I encourage anyone UK-based who hasn’t yet done so to get on this asap!

Hannah Berry @streakofpith.bsky.social · 9d

The question is, if you had the time, and the energy, *would* you still be making comics? If the answer is yes, you’re still one of us and I want to hear from you.

GET ON THAT SURVEY, [INSERT NAME HERE]!
