Very special shoutouts to @uberrimedildos.bsky.social for the beautiful toys featured in this comic, @twistedmonk.bsky.social for their incredible ropes, @wattsthesafeword.bsky.social 's dildo harness tutorial on Youtube, and @theduchy.bsky.social for almost all I've learned about Shibari!
Two cartoon anthropomorphic lion and bear pose excitedly in front of a steamy and dazzling background. A flowy length of red Shibari rope twirls around three colourful fantasy dildos. The bear punches excitedly in the air and says: "Watch out, world! I'm gonna STRAP 'EM ALL!"

How do strap-ons work for a cis guy like me? Is it comfortable? Enjoyable? Find out in my first comic of 2026 that's equal parts funny, steamy, and educational!
A lusciously illustrated digital comic page featuring two anthropomorphic characters: a brown bear wearing glasses and a white lab coat, and a lion wearing nothing but a towel. Panel 1: the bear jumps into frame with fingers on the side of his temple: "I HAVE A VISION!!!". The Lion peeks out from the bottom of the screen: "For the future?". Bear: "A SEXY FUTURE!!!" Panel 2: the bear imagines himself in a dark and steamy environment. Lit by bright pink and purple lights are four fantasy dildos strapped to a bandolier across his chest. Bear: "A future where I walk into a sexy event with top confidence, ready to spoil any bottom I fancy with their choice of strap-on!". Lion peeks out from the clouds of pink and purple steam: "Oh my!" Panel 3: back to their regular setting, the bear folds his arms to ponder: "...but, I've never topped with a strap-on before... How does it work? Is it even comfortable? Enjoyable?". Lion pulls his towel off his waist, arches his back, pumps up his fluffy bottom, and glances cheekily across his shoulder: "Sounds like you've got questions my ass could answer~" Panel 4: the bear and lion clasp hands excitedly as their noses touch. Bear: "For real?!". Lion: "Totally! Let's conduct some experiments!" Panel 5: the bear and lion punches up toward the sky enthusiastically. Title of the comic reads: "Local Side learns how to Top!

Cooked all day and cleaned the house for a nice dinner and a movie cuddling on the couch. He said "let's do this again soon" after a long hug goodbye. It's what every other friend would do, which is what I would do for every other friend too! So it's fine. And it's nice.

Work-wise, I think 2025 was my strongest year yet. I took on a lot of new visual challenges, leveled up my writing, and brought my colours to the edges of the page again.

Grateful for 4 years of silly and sentimental @ohjoysextoy.bsky.social auto-bio sex-ed all finished! Onward to my 5th 😎🌈✨

How do I make peace with a big, emotional change in my body? A sentimental comic with plenty of thoughts about my hair - or lack thereof. I worked my butt off for this one! I hope you'll enjoy it!
A digital comic book page illustrated in a colourful and cartoony style. A cartoony chibi Hien sits down at a bench and observes multiple windows into different memories he's seen and experienced. He closes in on two memories: one of a man putting sun screen on another man's hand while holding it tenderly, and one of a bald and bearded old leatherman smiling brightly as someone caresses his face. Narration: "My hair started falling off in my 20s right when I felt like growing it out. It's a hard thing to reconcile with sometimes." "I can't deny that sometimes I wish I looked different... but my hairline's recess is a landmark of how I"m changing into someone I didn't realize could exist in the first place." "Who knows, maybe one day someone could look at me and feel okay about growing into my image."

Illustration on the left. A lush digital painting of the figure on the front cover walks into deep teal water. He’s wearing a yellow shirt wrinkled and soaked in water. The surface of the water is lit in the top right corner by moonlight, which reflects faintly through the waves of water onto the figure’s body. The painting feels somber, but not entirely hopeless - as if the figure wishes his descent to be witnessed knowing he won’t yet completely sink below. Comic page on the right. Hien continues drawing at his table. He seems slightly slumped over his desk with slightly furrowed brows. Another Hien stands behind him with one hand holding onto the drawing Hien’s chair. This second Hien looks on with a subtle worry. Narration at the top: “Small, seemingly meaningless things can pull me under faster than my heart can beat.” Illustration. A warm digital painting of the figure from previous illustrations. The figure, Hien, is pictured in the middle of putting what’s left of his hair up in a bun. His eyes are closed and his face is angled as if looking away or hiding from the viewer’s gaze. He seems deep in thought with his cheeks flushed. His yellow shirt is unbuttoned and open at the front. Parts of his hands, arms, and back is lit by a warm late morning / early afternoon light. Comic page. One Hien strikes a pose identical to the one in the previous illustration. He turns slightly to look back at the Hien drawing at the table and gives him a sly wink. The drawing Hien looks up from his work and seems amused by his counterpart. His expression relaxes into a pleasant smile. Narration at the top: “Unreciprocated yearning is a veil so thick it only makes sense on a canvas.” Illustration. Close-up of a stem of two pink orchid flowers and one pale lime-green bud. The background is a stark black. The stem is shown torn at the middle with strands of sinewy plant matter slowly being torn apart. Comic page. Whimsical Hien sits down with working Hien at their desk. The former holds the torn orchid stem, looking over to his counterpart who’s back at work with a solemn expression on his face. The previously-black-and-white page is slightly dimmed. Narration: “Sometimes, the feelings are unnavigable within myself. I have to reach out into the abstract.” Illustration. A dark shadow casts over a murky red ground. The red fades into black shadows where one small raccoon bares its fangs. The shadow backs it into a defensive stance with its eyes and teeth reflecting a bright red-orange light. Comic page. Whimsical Hien sits at the table with his eyes closed. A small raccoon rests on his lap. Working Hien slinks further into his work with a tired expression on his face. The page is dimmed further into a darker grey. Narration: “There is more than just me down in the dark.”

There are things I only draw when I'm sad, and it's only through the act of art-making that I can navigate the dark.

Front cover: a digital painting of a close-up human figure facing away from the screen. He's wearing a black short-sleeve shirt with white flowers patterns and a pair of light tan shorts. His right arm lays on his side with his fingers curled up in a relaxed, yet melancholic expression. The outline of his body is lit in a bright yellow hue that fades into deep orange. He looks out onto a hazy, dream-like landscape. There are no distinguishable details, only soft waves of colours fading into each other: from deep orange at the bottom to a murky light yellow at the top. The ambiguous scene feels like it could either be a sunrise, or a sunset. The handwritten title of the book lays on top of the illustration: “Things I Only Draw When I’m Sad. By Hien Pham.” Back cover: the logline and content warning of the book display in a deep dark orange over the hazy scenery like in the front cover: “A collection of paintings on feeling things deeply, and a comic on how art has helped me navigate the dark. Content warning: heavy mental health topics, mention of sexual assault, artistic nudity.”

So what's the deal with "multiple mini Hiens" living in one brain? How do they work?? Is there a secret THIRD Hien somewhere???

Find out the answers to these internal family questions in the Things I Only Draw When I'm Sad epilogue 🧐 Coming out first thing tomorrow 😱😱😱!!
A digital cartoon of two identical balding bearded Asian men. One is multi-tasking so rapidly that it looks like he has multiple arms and are in multiple locations at once. He's carrying groceries, taking out the trash, putting laundry out, juggling work commitments and feeding himself all at once. The other man looks on in awe. He stands excitedly with both hands on his chin, smiling brightly with big sparkly eyes. Narration: "At any given time, there are two Hiens living in my brain. One of them gets things done, and the other processes my feelings." A digital cartoon of two identical balding bearded Asian men. The multi-tasking man has put down all of his tools to console his emotional counterpart who's swelling up with emotions and tears forming under his eyes. Narration: "When the sensitive Hien gets overwhelmed by an emotion, the responsible one makes space for him to experience it. He helps him acknowledge it, and tries to talk him through it." Words float above a dreamy orange-hue scenery with no distinguishable shapes other than soft waves of orange fading into warm yellow. Narration: "A collection of paintings on feeling things deeply, and a comic on how art has helped me navigate the dark. Content warning: heavy mental health topics, mention of sexual assault, artistic nudity." A digital painting of a man looking out into the sunset. His left arm hangs down his side. He wears a black shirt with white delicate flowers scattered in its pattern. His beige shorts crinkles up as he leans his weight on on leg. The blurry orange sky sets a bright burning orange on his outline. Clean lettering writes the title: Things I Only Draw When I'm Sad by Hien Pham. A small ribbon on the corner of the illustration says "Coming Soon!"

Things I Only Draw When I'm Sad came about when I didn't want to beat myself up for feeling things deeply or needing time to process. Instead, I wanted to see if I could treat it as how my brain worked, and eventually, if it could be a strength.

Coming out SOON on Nov 6 😱!!
A digital painting of a man looking out into the sunset. His left arm hangs down his side. He wears a black shirt with white delicate flowers scattered in its pattern.

Clean lettering writes the title: Things I Only Draw When I'm Sad by Hien Pham. A small ribbon on the corner of the illustration says "Coming Soon!" A digital painting of a two pink orchids and a bud on a green stem on a black background. The stem is broken and tearing apart. To the right of the painting is a black-and-white cartoon of two identical balding Asian man sitting at a desk together. One is holding the broken flower stem. He looks with a soft expression toward the other one who's drawing solemnly on a digital art tablet. Narration: "Sometimes, the feelings are unnavigable within myself. I have to reach out into the abstract." A digital painting of a shadow casting across a hazy, murky blood-red expanse. A small raccoon snarls with bright red eyes and bloody teeth as it's being backed away into the dark. Next to the painting is a black-and-white cartoon of two identical balding bearded Asian men. One is doozing off on a chair with a sleeping raccoon on his lap. The other slumped, drawing sluggishly on a digital art tablet. Narration: "There are more than just me down in the depths."

My zine Things I Only Draw When I'm Sad pairs emotive paintings with simple cartooning to deliver its narrative. I hope the chibi Hiens work both to ground the sometimes-abstract illustrations and add levity to otherwise heavy topics!

Coming soon on Nov 6th 😊💖✨!!

Clean lettering writes the title: Things I Only Draw When I'm Sad by Hien Pham. A small ribbon on the corner of the illustration says "Coming Soon!" A digital painting of a man wading into water. The composition centers on his half-submerged hand. His wet shirt clings to his body as he casts a shadow upon the turbulent waves. The deep teal water is lit by presumably moonlight. Next to the painting is a simple black-and-white drawing of a man sitting on a chair drawing on his digital art tablet. An identical man stands right behind him with his hands resting on the back of the chair, he watches as his counterpart continues to paint. Narration: "Small, seemingly meaningless things can pull me under than my heart can beat." A digital painting of a balding bearded Asian man. Both of his arms are held at the back of his head as he ties up what's left of his hair. The back of his figure is lit by a warm, golden light source. He faces away with his eyes closed. Next to the painting is a black-and-white cartoon of two men who look identical to the men previously depicted. One takes on a pose similar to the one in the painting, albeit with a more whimsical and playful expression. His counter part sitting at the drawing desk looks away from his work to let out a pleasant sigh at the posing man. Narration: "Unreciprocated yearning is a veil so thick it only makes sense on a canvas"

Had a great time doing my first Shibari demo at a local Leather / Fetish social 🤘🏾💖✨ My rope Pups had a blast, and I even tied up some new friends too ☺️ what great joy to be alive
A person in a fetish Pup hood and paw pads has his torso tied in an intricate Fisherman's harness. Magenta Shibari ropes stretches from Their shoulders to their elbow, making ornamental knots as they go. Pink fabric flowers are placed delicately on different knots. A person in a Rottweiler Pup hood stands with his upper arms tied to his chest. His wrists are tied to the back of the previous Pup (they are tied together). His shirt is lifted up to showcase his big hairy belly. Some pink fabric flowers are placed on his ropes as well. A view from the side of the two Pups tied together. They stand back to back with their individual ties connecting to the other person's ties. Me (balding bearded chubby Asian man with glasses) throws a peace sign as my two tied-up Pups smile at the camera.

Shibari Donkey Kong 🤘🏾✨ took about an hour to figure out and I'm very proud of it!
A chubby shirtless Asian man stands triumphantly flexing his right arm. He wears short grey shorts and brown sandals. On his wrists and ankles are yellow Shibari cuffs. On his torso are suspenders and a red tie made out of red Shibari ropes. The letters DK made out of paper are attached to the end of the tie. A bunch of bananas are attached to his waist. The man smiles at the camera caught in a candid moment with his right arm no longer flexing and his wrist limp (cause he is gaaay) A pencil sketch on paper of the man's outfit when he planned it initially.

A comic all about PrEP: a mind-blowingly effective and accessible HIV-prevention medication! Read on to find out how these blue pills protect you, and share a small moment of reflection on how far we've come.
A digital comic page with two main parts: taking up 3/4 of the canvas is a huge circle of many silly cartoony blue pills working out and interacting with each other. They surround the comic's title in the middle: Let's Get PrEP'd, which sports an HIV-AIDS awareness red ribbon just right below it. At the bottom of the page is a comic panel of the pills kicking cartoony representations of HIV in their asses and pushing them away from a grateful white blood cell.
