Hey. Hey, want to read some stories from Palestinian writers? Buy my book. It’s good. It has a lot of words in it (but not too many words!).

Abstract photo of a woman’s face, distorted through smears of water. Shades of pink, brown, and white. At the top Carnalis is written in a serif font. At the bottom is my name.

Just wanted to clarify, there is no watermark on my finished comic. Even though the example images have the watermark on it, the actual document doesn’t have my name on the centre of every page. That would be way too distracting for the reader.

I’ve been a bit quiet lately due to giving myself art challenges and making comics. But I’m also doing some edits on the comic I plan to put on my Ko-Fi. Here’s some samples to give new followers an idea of the type of comic this is.

"Forgotten," by me

published by Horror Tree's Trembling With Fear horrortree.com/trembling-wi...
Forgotten When she was thirsty, she was parched. When she found an old tower, hidden buried in the ground, the word that came to mind was oubliette. And she hoped, when the rain started falling through the opening overhead, that it would be a deluge. She laughed as she tilted her head back to catch drops on her tongue, but they weren’t enough. She opened her mouth again for more and more, until she no longer remembered that it was her own voice echoing off the stone walls, no longer remembered anything but deep emptiness and waiting, mouth open, for more.
