AWAY preorder ends...soon

Last week of sales, so go buy one as it's a very limited edition first pressing that you can resell on ebay 20 years from now (probably only for like, ten cents, but hey, you got twenty years' use out of it, stop complaining). Still not convinced? Well, here's another sneak peak:

and yes, if you're following @tori__h ( that's me!) you know how you can enter to win a free copy!

AWAY Preorder starts...now!

So I'm really quite excited to say that my latest comic book/zine/graphic novella is finally finished and ready for all of you to paw through. It's called AWAY una collezione di fumetti, which is Italian for "a collection of comics" (note: the entirety of the work is in English, with the exception of a couple really obvious words) and are comics from and based on when I was in Italy for a sizable chunk of 2012. Which, yes, was last year, but I spent a lot of time revising things and narrowing down which pieces to use, as well as doing completely unrelated things. A couple pages that made it into the finished work, or at least versions thereof have already been featured here, and are reposted below, along with the wraparound cover (so yes, that's the front and back, it's not a portrait-page-format-oriented piece). I've had a lot of fun and put a lot of work into it, so I hope you'll enjoy!

 

 

$4 plus one for shipping.

*disclosure statement, this work contains explicit language (one b.s.,one s, and two f 's, none in a graphic-description nature) and were used to uphold to the actuality of some dialogue. If it really offends you, please note it on the order form and you will receive a copy with said words blacked out.

happy holidays!

Okay, so the color looks really weird on the monitor I'm using but is printing normal, so I'm hoping it shows up not-fluorescent on your screen. It's my holiday card...or more precisely, the third draft of the holiday card my mom is sending out wherein I finally managed to eradicate all my sick sense of holiday humor. So have a nice whatever you celebrate, oh and check back here again before the end of the year..that's all I'm going to say for right now.

No I'm not crazy depressed or something, just sometimes you get the drive to make the least pretty  thing as quickly as possible.

I actually started drawing this during an earthquake. Which should give you a feel for how long it's sat around half-done.

Happy Accidents

This is what happens when you try to HDR images that don't line up by a longshot...however, I think it's kind of beautiful and dreamy.

Posting this for y'all to enjoy as you sit around being semi-banned from the kitchen tonight or tomorrow. Oh wait that's just me. Anyhow, this is a page from a zine I did back in 2010, and my mom's least favorite thing I've ever done (no, not the vomiting piece,not any of the ones with swearing or possible copyright issues,no, it's the one about her overzealous baking) and why I am banned from kitchen tonight. Happy holidays!
