My name is Ren, I do comics and illustrations that are bright, colorful, hot, horny, and dramatic. I just debuted my first graphic novel How Could You (Oni Press), and I've worked on other projects with some amazing creators.

The Traitor & The Wretch is a grim fantasy with a surprisingly tender romance between two minor villains trying their best to outrun their terrible fates.

Written by me
Illustrated by @skulkingfoxes.bsky.social
Cover art by @fusspot.rip
With editing by @cknightwrites.bsky.social

A trope map showing the cover of The Traitor & The Wretch, with the two main characters. It reads: "Minor villains dungeon-crawling their way to a happy ending." "On the run from an entire kingdom that wants them both dead." "This guy helped raise a Chaos God to bring about the end times (he's not coping well)." "This guy tried to kill the Prophesized Hero (it ended badly)." "Enemies-to-Lovers" and "Mutated cave creatures! Undead horrors! Endless pitch black caves! Somehow, it's a romance!"

If you're in the Portland area, I'll be at the Portland Zine Symposium on November 9!! My true last event of the year, my roots of comics making.

Home from NYCC! Thank you for such an amazing show. Now I will be resting for the next four months, getting some hiking in, and having a relaxing autumn/winter.

I love making new things and I hate inventory management

Fact: I almost never reprint my stickers or mini prints. I print them for Patreon and bring the leftovers to cons. Once they're gone, they're gone forever.

The number of people who ask me if I know fawnduu, because my art reminds me of her, is a testament to dyke brotherhood

ren 🗡️ NYCC C-43 @renstrapp.com · 2d

All weekend long, people ask me, where's @fawnduu.com where's @catskullery.com ? I don't know. I don't know why they aren't here. It's not right. Let them in.
