Valley of the Silk Sky queer YA webcomic

Deposit eyeballs here:

In non-VotSS news, last night I finished up the thumbnails for an upcoming anthology piece. So that’s two short stories for two different anthologies I’ve thumbnailed in the last month.

One of ’em is for We’re Still Here, the all-trans anthology from Stacked Deck Press, which was officially announced last December.

The other one has not yet been announced, so you’ll have to wait patiently to learn more. But I’m really excited about both stories, so I’ll be sure to keep you updated as to the proceedings.

Cheers,

Dylan

Valley of the Silk Sky page 67 is taking stock of the situation

Valley of the Silk Sky queer sci-fi and fantasy comic

What’s that? You wanna see the latest EXCITING page of Valley of the Silk Sky? Well, take yer pick o’ venue:

What’s the diff? Tumblr is tumblr, if you’re into tumbling. Also: functions as a standalone website, is mobile-adaptive, has extra content not found elsewhere.

Tapastic is a platform for a bunch of different webcomics, is mobile adaptive, and lets you do fun things like save your place in a story and get notifications when new pages go up. I get a couple pennies of ad revenue from folks who read here. (“Pennies” is not a euphemism for “not much.” I genuinely get maybe a couple cents a day.)

Studio NDR is this site you’re reading this on right now, my “home page” if you will. I get slightly more pennies of ad revenue if you read here. (Again, not a euphemism.) But alas the site is not mobile adaptive and badly needs an overhaul that I don’t have time to perform.

Honestly, whichever of these is most convenient for you is fine. Do as you will!

Cheers,

Dylan

WHAT INDEED OF THE OTHERS.

Speaking of others, in other(s) news, I am thumbnailing away on a couple of comic scripts for a couple of anthologies. Both are autobio, talkin’ about queer/ace/trans stuff.

More shall be revealed of these projects in due time, but know that they’re happening.

Let’s just say next laundry day is gonna be a doozy.

IN OTHER NEWS:

I’m in the process of putting together QAT Person #2, which collects more of my autobio comics into minicomic form. You can still buy QAT Person #1 from me online, or come find me at a convention.

My plan is to have QAT Person #2 ready for Emerald City Comic Con in March.

The hiatus is over – now let’s find out just what the heck went down at the waystation. Read page 64 here:

Seeing as it’s been, cough, six months since the last VotSS installment, now might be a good time to rattle the ol’ cup. Valley of the Silk Sky is a project I undertake in my free time, and my free time is determined by how much other work I have to take on to make ends meet.

If you enjoy VotSS and want to help fund its creation, you can always become one of my Patrons. By making a regular pledge, you get early access to pages, special secret info, work-in-progress posts, and all that good stuff. At just $5 a month you get art in the mail, so dang. You know.

If a one-time donation is more your thing, you can always drop me a couple bucks via PayPal. Send however much you want to valleyofthesilksky@gmail.com.

And if you don’t have $$ but want to lend support, the best thing you can do is share VotSS with your friends. The more the merrier!

Cheers,

Dylan

New comic for Illustrated PEN published on No Comments on New comic for Illustrated PEN

Here we go! New comic up on the state of my brain post-election:

Illustrated PEN: Promise of Safety by Dylan Edwards

This is part of a series of comics by a bunch of different folks, aptly titled State of Emergency. EDIT: The link broke, apparently because they moved servers last night. Here’s the link for all the State of Emergency comics.

2017 events, and new comics on the way published on No Comments on 2017 events, and new comics on the way

Finally updated my Appearances page with my 2017 show schedule. I’ll add more events as they’re confirmed, but so far this is what I have planned.

I just recently finished a new autobio comic for Illustrated Pen, which is scheduled to go live in the next couple of weeks. Once it’s up I will, of course, provide a link, but for now here’s a li’l teaser:

Also, Valley of the Silk Sky chapter 7 will commence publication next Wednesday, January 18 (or Monday, January 16 if you’re a Patron!).

So! Get ready for MORE COMICS.

Cheers,

Valley of the Silk Sky: Year 2

Valley of the Silk Sky: Year 2 published on No Comments on Valley of the Silk Sky: Year 2

Valley of the Silk Sky queer YA science fiction comic

Okay, so technically I’m posting this a month early. VoSS’s birthday is January 14.

BUT! Chapter 7 is going to start running next month, so I wanted to have a little something to tide you over until then. Hence this ridiculous Year 2 graphic. You can view it at any of these fine locations:

This drawing was at least partially an excuse to play with some new art supplies I picked up, so it’s colored differently from my usual marker + gouache. The figures are colored with a combination of watercolor pencil and various writing inks. The background is digital, mostly because this was drawn on scrap paper and I didn’t have space for a proper background.

Anyhow, I’m busy coloring Chapter 7 right now, so you will be putting that into your eyeballs very soon.

Cheers,

Dylan

Talkin’ indie comics in Tokyo, Mini Comic Con this Saturday

Talkin’ indie comics in Tokyo, Mini Comic Con this Saturday published on No Comments on Talkin’ indie comics in Tokyo, Mini Comic Con this Saturday

MiniComicCon Flyer

I’ll be at Mini Comic Con this Saturday, December 3, here in Denver. It’s free and runs from 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM, so if you’re in town you should come check it out!

So that talk on Entrepreneurship in American Independent comics that I gave in Tokyo at the American Center? The video is now on line for your viewing pleasure. One catch: it’s dubbed in Japanese, no subtitles, so if you don’t speak Japanese that’s TOO BAD. Second caveat, it’s not edited, so you can watch me flail as I realize I left some of my materials in the green room and have to send someone to go get them, ha ha.

ANYWAY, if none of that deters you, here it is.

I would like to post the transcript in English at some point as a blog series, but it’ll take some time to put that together.

Meanwhile, I’ve been posting diary comics of my Japan travels over on my Patreon. Most of these are visible to $1+ Patrons, but here’s a sample that you can read for free.

Once I have a chance to scan the diary comics and clean them up a bit, my plan is to put together a new minicomic about my Japan travels. I’ll let you know once it’s available.

Cheers,

Dylan

Asexual Awareness Week, Valley of the Silk Sky progress report, Japan talk

Asexual Awareness Week, Valley of the Silk Sky progress report, Japan talk published on No Comments on Asexual Awareness Week, Valley of the Silk Sky progress report, Japan talk

comic about asexuality

So hey, it’s Asexual Awareness Week! If you haven’t done so already, be sure to check out my comic for The Nib, wherein I go on about intersections of asexual, queer, and trans identities.

I was also interviewed for the BiCast podcast, wherein Sara Beth Brooks and I talk with Lynnette McFadzen about – what else? – ASEXUALITY. You can point your ears thisaway to indulge in said cast of pod.

Finally, speaking of comics with asexual characters, I have news on the Valley of the Silk Sky front. As you may recall, the comic was on hold while I worked on various and sundry freelance projects. But those projects are now complete, and I’m in the process of penciling chapter 7 even now.

I’m going to be in Japan for most of November, and my goal is to have the pencils finished before I leave. My goal is NOT to work myself to death while I’m on semi-vacation, so I won’t be doing any coloring until I get back. That puts the timeline at running chapter 7 in January. Appropriate enough, since January is VotSS’s birthday!

I say Japan is a semi-vacation, since I will be giving a talk on Entrepreneurship in American Comics while I’m there. So if you, also, will be in Tokyo on November 16th, you can come to the thing! It’s at the American Center from 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM on Wednesday, Nov. 16. More details here (page is in Japanese).

I have a couple more announcements about upcoming events in December, but I’ll tell you more about those closer to the date.

Cheers,

Dylan
