my tablet is currently halfway across the country for repairs (my brother's the most tech-savvy in my family and asking him to take a look at it was cheaper than taking it to a shop) so i haven't been able to draw lately. i've made a bunch of traditional sketches in the meantime, but none of them are presentable enough to post here, so i decided to take a trip down memory lane and fill out one of foxorian's influence maps!
below the cut are the names of the artists featured here, as well as a little bit of director's commentary on how they've influenced me :]

Un consiglietto corto per dei fumettini a tempo: ShortBox Comics Fair 2023
Ciao cari. Un blog meno discontinuo e raffazzonato dedicherebbe diversi paragrafi a scusarsi per l’assenza prolungata, spiegherebbe nel dettaglio ciascuno dei motivi che hanno portato ad un completo stop di pubblicazione e perché no, darebbe succosi aggiornamenti sulla vita privata del suo curatore, ma come è chiaro ed evidente questo è proprio un blog discontinuo e raffazzonato: un post ogni tanto, quando a) mi capita sotto il naso qualcosa di interessante (frequenza: alta) e b) la vita mi permette di trovare le energie per scrivere della suddetta cosa interessante (frequenza: beh, lo vedete da voi). Dunque senza perdere ulteriori energie a spiegare i motivi dei miei dilatati tempi di postaggio, passiamo all’argomento del microconsiglio di oggi: la ShortBox Comic Fair, edizione 2023.
Come specificato nelle succinte ma esaustive FAQ del sito, l’evento funziona come una classica fiera del fumetto, semplicemente in formato virtuale: gli artisti selezionati hanno diversi mesi per sceneggiare, disegnare ed eventualmente colorare un fumetto completo, che sarà poi ospitato nella bacheca virtuale del sito e venduto esclusivamente in PDF per cifre piuttosto modiche (si va dalle 2 £ alle 10 £ per i fumetti più lunghi); l’artista può eventualmente decidere di rendere disponibile il suo fumetto anche al di fuori delle tempistiche della fiera, che dura fino all’ultimo giorno di Ottobre, ma le regole stabilite dal sito prevedono che i diritti di pubblicazione della ShortBox cessino con la fine del mese – si tratta dunque in buona parte di fumetti a tempo, disponibili per poche settimane ad un costo modico. Ho scelto dunque di comprarne tre per farmi un’idea del genere di materiale ospitato, degli artisti coinvolti e certo, anche perché sospettavo che ci sarebbe potuto scappare un consiglietto (guarda un po’, sempre a pensare al lavoro) – e non ho avuto torto, perlomeno nel caso di due dei tre fumetti acquistati.

Cheer Up by Crystal Frasier and Val Wise
Trans rep: 8/10
General enjoyment: 8/10
Age rating: all ages
Id seen this one come up a few times, so I finally sat down and read it. It wasn’t bad by any means, but it also wasn’t the greatest either. I felt like the author tried to fit a bunch of story into a very short timeline and with underdeveloped motivations. The story follows a cis lesbian named Annie who is pushed to join the cheerleading time by her mom. There she reconnects with her old friend, a trans girl named Bebe. They quickly begin to develop a romance while fending off pressures from crazy parents and transphobic bullies. The culmination is a weirdly “happily ever after” type ending that felt really weird and underdeveloped, like all of the “bad people” just kinda had a change of heart or something. I dont wanna hate on this too much, it really was a fun read and I’d definitely recommend checking it out if you want something not too emotionally taxing.
books i read in 2022♡ Cheer Up: Love and Pompoms by Crystal Frasier & Val Wise
“Oh? You're held to a different standard because of others' preconceptions?”
catching up on book reviews
ok so these are all going to be FIVE STAR reviews!!
Because they're all amazing. And so very different!
starting with the Middle Reader, we've got The Witch Boy by Molly Knox ostertag. It's sweet and kind, and the art and story is perfection. This book is about the dangers and damages that strictly enforced gender roles can have on not only children but adults as well.
Next is Cheer Up: Love and Pompoms by Val wise and Crystal Fraiser. It sits on the middle of middle reader and young adult, dealing with a few more adult issues like dating and harassment, but handled in a softer, cozier way.
THE Witch King by H.E. Edgmon is decidedly a Young Adult in the best way. Wyatt is a 17 year old kid, who's trans-ness isn't the most complicated thing about his life. Nope. He's actually a Witch, from a secret society of Faeries in Upstate New York, engaged to their prince and oh yeah, a fugitive from the corrupt faery police. Bc of course he is. It's not subtle but a lot of fun.
Nimora by ND Stevenson- their publisher needs to get off their asses to fix their names!- looks like young adult, but it is an intense ride. Nimora is savage and chaotic I love her.
GenderQueer is a memoir by Maia Kobabe, pronouns e, eir, em. It's a beautiful, brutal, uplifting, heartbreaking read. Weirdly I kinda get why it gets banned so much. I'm a fucking adult and Gaia Goddess it was hard to read at points, and if you're so very scared of your kid being any kind of different (queer, nd, mentally ill, disabled ect) this will scare the fuck outta you. But any one, even a kid, who seeks this book out deserves, needs to read it.
And please please donate to any trans organization you can! But for me I'm asking you to donate to the TRANSFORMATION PROJECT OF SOUTH DAKOTA. Any amount helps.
Make a difference in the life of a transgender South Dakotan today.Far too many transgender youth and young adults in South Dakota and aroun
