Queer and Trans Comics by Dylan Edwards
Read on, but careful not to get yourself smothered in window dressing:
I’m still shading away on the new Valley of the Silk Sky short story (throwing shade on the pages?), and it continues to take longer than I’d have liked, but such is the peril of working in an unfamiliar medium. I must a-tone for my sins, I suppose.
Ahem. Anyhow. Back at it!
Cheers,
Dylan
EDIT: I finally managed to get it uploaded! New Taxo Unbo is on Studio NDR right here. I solved the mystery by leaving for a couple of hours, and then trying again.
=====
So I do have a new Taxo Unbo ready, and have been able to post it to Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, and Patreon, but for some reason the WordPress media manager absolutely, positively refuses to upload the file.
I have tried resaving the file in a couple different formats, I’ve tried renaming it, I’ve tried using a different browser: all of these generate an “HTTP error” with no additional information. I’m able to upload other image files, just not this particular one to this particular website. I am completely and totally baffled, no clue whatsoever what to try next.
Soooo, anyway. You can in point of fact read the new comic, you just gotta do it at one of these other places:
Speaking of the ol’ Patreon, I’ve been posting a few work-in-progress images from the new Valley of the Silk Sky short story. The most recent is here and is available to $1+ subscribers. I have another I’ll likely post tomorrow.
Anyhow, back to bashing my head against this website to try to figure out why I can’t upload this one image that every other website has had no problems with.
Frustrated,
Dylan
All the new Taxonomically Unbounds this month are gonna be Halloweeny, so just imagine me pulling a lever in a dungeon and screaming something about Pun Goth Power to Maximum. The first ghoulish endeavor is available here:
Also, I’m hoping to get a post up tomorrow for $1+ Patrons with work-in-progress sneak previews of the new Valley of the Silk Sky short story, so if you wanna peep such a thing, drop a buck in the bucket.
Cheers,
Dylan
The latest in the Most Worst Puns onslaught is here for your reading “pleasure”:
Starting next week, I will be inflicting a series of Halloween-themed pun comics upon you all, so brace yourselves for that.
In other news, it may interest you to learn I just finished penciling that Valley of the Silk Sky short story I’ve been working on for an upcoming anthology. Next up: inking, inking, and more inking!
That means folks who pledge $1 or more to my Patreon will soon be getting sneak previews of the work-in-progress.
And, of course, once I have more info about the Kickstarter for the anthology (which I think will be going up in November?) I will let you know.
Cheers,
Dylan
Yes indeed, it is time once again for a new Taxonomically Unbound. It may be groaned at in any one of these fine places:
Also, in case you missed the announcement last week, don’t forget to check out Draw Out the Vote, the new website put together by Oni Press. It features comics by cartoonists from all 50 states, plus Washington DC and Puerto Rico, sharing their personal stories about why voting is important to them.
I did the comic for Colorado. There’s info for each state on how to get registered and how to vote, so be sure to give it a look and share widely!
Cheers,
Dylan
Here’s that announcement I was talking about!
Oni Press has put together Draw Out the Vote, an amazing project featuring comics by creators from all 50 states, plus Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico, sharing their own personal stories of why voting is important and how it affects them.
Each state’s page also includes information on how to vote, registration deadlines, and more.
I did the comic for Colorado.
Check it out, find your state, and share, share, share!
Cheers,
Dylan
Yes indeed, a new Taxonomically Unbound makes itself known today. It lives in these places:
I thought I was going to have another announcement today, but it has not yet been officially announced. So. I may well be posting again shortly, just waiting for a green light.
ANYway. Do carrion.
Cheers,
Dylan
It’s been awhile, but I finally got around to making a bunch of new Taxonomically Unbound comics. These are my Most Worst Puns illustrated with various doodles and sketches I’ve done.
I’ll be running these weekly throughout the rest of 2018, so brace yourselves.
The first of the new batch may be seen in these places:
Meanwhile, the STAPLE! Independent Media Expo is this very weekend Sept 8-9 in Austin, Texas, you’ll find me there at table 20A with my various comics and Feeping Creatures monster art.
I will also be on a panel on Saturday, Sept. 9 in The Theater:
4:30 PM – 5:30 PM: LGBTQIA Comics Panel – Prominent & Emerging Comics Creators discuss their work and experiences in the comics industry. With Lilah Sturges, Jeremy Holt, Alex Grandstaff & Dylan Edwards. Moderated by Sarah Marloff of the Austin Chronicle.
See you this weekend, Austin!
Cheers,
Dylan
As mentioned previously, I’ll be running new Taxonomically Unbound comics this fall, and I now have an official start date worked out. So! Look for them to commence publication here on Studio NDR on Thursday, September 6.
As with other comics o’ mine, $1+ Patrons get ’em first, so I will once again be running them on Mondays for patrons. That means a start date of Monday, Sept. 3 for those fine folks.
$1+ Patrons will also be getting glimpses of my current work-in-progress, a new Valley of the Silk Sky short story to be published in an upcoming anthology. Patrons will be (or have already been!) getting concept art, thumbnails, pencils, and other peeks behind the curtain.
Finally, the STAPLE! Independent Media Expo is nearly upon us! It’s happening Sept 8-9 in Austin, Texas, and I’ll be there with my various comics and Feeping Creatures monster art.
I will also be on a panel on Saturday, Sept. 9 in The Theater:
4:30 PM – 5:30 PM: LGBTQIA Comics Panel – Prominent & Emerging Comics Creators discuss their work and experiences in the comics industry. With Lilah Sturges, Jeremy Holt, Alex Grandstaff & Dylan Edwards. Moderated by Sarah Marloff of the Austin Chronicle.
So if you’re STAPLE!-bound, add that to yer to-see list.

Dylan
Now that the chaos of SDCC is done, it’s time to move on to the next chaos: the Tiny Art Big Ideas show here in Denver, hosted by Spectra Art Space.
The concept for the show is simple: dozens of artists have submitted hundreds of works, all of which are 6 in x 6 in x 6in or smaller. Hence Tiny Art!
My work for this show mostly focuses on the Feeping Creatures side of my creative endeavors, so look for wee monsters in the form of sculptures, drawings, and enamel pins.
The opening reception for the show is tonight, July 27, at 7:00 PM. You should come to that if you can. If not, the show will be up for the next month, so you still have plenty of time to look at all the itty bitty arts.
Cheers,
Dylan
