VoSS page 25, reading in Denver this weekend

July 15, 2015 Dylan Edwards No Comments

New page of Valley of the Silk Sky is up for your reading pleasure:

Since you were paying close attention to the minor background minutiae on page 8, and were no doubt taking notes, you already have some clue as to who Cobb might be.

Gosh, I wonder what other details from chapter 1 are about to become relevant.

Also, assuming I have fended off the con crud by then, I will be part of the lineup this Saturday, July 18, at Mutiny Information Cafe in Denver. A bunch of us will be reading from our comics, selling our books, and then checking out the band that’s playing after. Should be a fun time!

SDCC2015 was also a fun time for sure. The Writing Trans Characters panel went really well, and it was great to see a bunch of folks I really only see this one time of the year. Thanks to everyone who came by and bought books, or just stopped to chat. I unfortunately took home with me a light cold, so I’m going to go back to bed, I think.

Cheers,

Dylan

VoSS page 24 and SDCC goings on

July 7, 2015 Dylan Edwards No Comments

Valley of the Silk Sky page 24 is up a day early due to Comic Con shenans. Read it here, why don’t you:

Gosh, who are these folks, I wonder?

Speaking of wondering things, if you’re wondering where to find me at SDCC, here’s the breakdown:

My books will be available for sale at the Northwest Press table in the Prism Comics booth (#2144). There will also be a bajillionty other amazing queer comics for sale in that booth, so obviously you will want to go there immediately upon arrival. I’ll be hanging around the booth here and there, should you desire to get yer stuff signed.

I will be on a panel with several other trans artists on Thursday, July 9 at 5:00 PM in room 28DE. Writing Transgender Characters it’s called. Can you afford to miss this? I put it to you that you cannot.

EXCITEMENT. THRILLS.

Cheers,

Dylan

VoSS page 23 is here now, SDCC is here soon

July 1, 2015 Dylan Edwards No Comments

Valley of the Silk Sky page 23 finds Razi in a spot of bother. Read all about it here:

Meanwhile, San Diego Comic Con is even more nigh than it was last week when I proclaimed it to be nigh. And next week it shall be the nighest of all. You will mostly be able to find me at the Northwest Press table in the Prism Comics megabooth (#2144, or just look for the gayness).

Also. ALSO! You should absolutely, definitely come to the panel I’ll be on, Writing Transgender Characters, on Thursday July 9, 5:00 PM, in room 28DE.

What else. I just wrapped up a short piece for an anthology that I believe will be coming out this fall, or possibly winter. More deets on that as I have them.

Now it’s back to working on VoSS. The thumbnails of Chapter 4 are all set, so it is time to pencil, gosh darnit.

Cheers,

Dylan

VoSS page 22 and Denver Zine Fest and San Diego

June 24, 2015 Dylan Edwards No Comments

Valley of the Silk Sky: The Long Run page 22 is up! THIS WAY FOR READ:

I suppose I ought confess: the rest of the chapter is just Razi opening various drawers and cabinets and proclaiming the contents. FUN!

Also fun: Denver Zine Fest is this weekend! It’s sponsored by the Denver Zine Library, and there will be many exciting activities. I’m signed up to be part of the readings on Friday, June 26, and then I’ll be at the Fest itself on Saturday the 27th. I’ll have all of my books there, plus a handful of Northwest Press titles, so come on down won’t you.

And yes, San Diego Comic Con is nigh! Very, very nigh. Intimidatingly nigh.

I will once again be ensconced at the Northwest Press table, to be found in the Prism Comics booth (#2144). I’m also going to be on a Writing Trans Characters panel that promises to be really awesome. Once SDCC publishes the official programming schedule I’ll let you know the date/time.

Cheers,

Dylan

VoSS page 21 is up, Queer Comics Expo is nigh

June 17, 2015 Dylan Edwards No Comments

Valley of the Silk Sky page 21 is here, and really, everything’s probably fine. Nothing to worry about. Not even one single thing. See for yourself:

But yes, Queer Comics Expo! It is this very weekend in San Francisco! I am given to understand there will be QUEER COMICS.

It’s at the Cartoon Art Museum, June 20-21, and in addition to several queertoonists and publishers of queer comics, there’ll also be a ton of awesome programming. I’m on three panels: Non-Monosexual Characters in Comics, Panel Transitions: Trans Representation in Comics, and Teaching Queer: LGBTQ Comics in the Classroom.

So! If you’re in SF and you dig queer comics, you should head on over to this thing!

Cheers,

Dylan

VoSS – Long Run page 20 has just rolled up

June 10, 2015 Dylan Edwards No Comments

Hmm, what have we here? A destination of sorts? Clap your eyes upon the latest Valley of the Silk Sky page at one of these fine locations:

So! What else. I’ve done the first draft on the thumbnails for chapter 4. I’m letting it sit for a bit so I can go back to it with fresh eyes before moving on to pencils.

In the meanwhiles, I’ll be working on a short piece for an upcoming anthology, about which more later. (I’m only being coy about it because I don’t know what info has been officially released, so I guess I’ll start talking about it more when I know more. But I’ll tell you this: it’s all about … QUEER COMICS.)

Oh, and also! I don’t have the official date/time yet, but I’ll be doing a panel at SDCC2015 on Writing Trans Characters. So if you have plans to be at Comic Con International this year, keep an eyeball out for that. I’ll post the date/time once I get the final schedule.

Cheers,

Dylan

VoSS chapter 2 wraps up, and Denver Comic Con approaches

May 20, 2015 Dylan Edwards No Comments

The conclusion to chapter 2 awaits you at these locations:

AND SO. Chapter 3 will begin on June 3 (or June 1 if you’re a $1+ Patron). I’m excited for this, because it has taken every ounce of my willpower not to spoilerize the crap out of Chapter 3. It’s Just Gonna Be Like That.

Next week will be your regularly-scheduled between-chapters worldbuilding extravaganza over at the VoSS website. So follow along over there if you’re burning to know more about Daraz technology and social order.

And yes, I will be at Denver Comic Con this weekend, May 22-24, 2015!

You can find me at the Northwest Press booth, which I believe is #953.

I’ll also be speaking on the Trans and Genderqueer Representation in Comics panel – Sunday 2:05 – 2:55 – Room 505.

SEE YOU THERE.

Cheers,

Dylan

Valley of the Silk Sky page 17 comes out of hiding

May 13, 2015 Dylan Edwards No Comments

VoSS: The Long Run page 17 is up! It was last spotted in these locations:

Come to think of it, the whole “you’re getting warmer/colder” idiom for directing someone to a hidden object would work well for the Daraz.

In other VoSS news, I’m plowing through coloring the pages for chapter 3 (everything is penciled and inked, so it’s all about the finishing). Right now it’s looking like chapter 3 will start on June 3, so that should be easy enough to remember.

The Queers & Comics Conference this past weekend was truly an amazing experience. I wrote about it a little here. I really hope this event continues, because damn. A conference hall full of queer cartoonists is a beautiful sight indeed.

Cheers,

Dylan

VoSS page 16 is up, Queers & Comics Conference is nigh

May 6, 2015 Dylan Edwards No Comments

It was very difficult not to post this page immediately after (or, indeed, before) I finished it. BUT IT IS HERE NOW:

Speaking of being places, I’ll be at the Queers & Comics Conference in New York this week, May 7-8.

I’m on three panels: May 7 it’s Queer Memoir from 9:00 – 10:45 AM, and Trans/Genderqueer Character Design from 2:15 – 4:00 PM. Then I’ll be signing at the Prism Comics booth from 4:00 – 5:00 PM.

May 8 I’ll be signing from 3:00 – 4:00 PM, then speaking on the Queer Male Identity in Comics panel from 4:15 – 6:00 PM.

On Saturday, May 9, I’ll be at the School of Visual Arts (133-141 W. 21 St., Rm 101C), along with 30-odd other comix folk, to do a big ol’ queer comics reading. The event goes from 1:30 – 3:30.

See you there!

Cheers,

Dylan

VoSS chapter 2 begins!

April 29, 2015 Dylan Edwards No Comments

Chapter 2 of Valley of the Silk Sky begins! These creatures are Daraz (species) Harcos (warrior/hunter caste). Harcos are non-reproducing members of the species. Read the new page here:

I’ve already got a couple of appendix posts up about the Daraz, if you’re in a world-building mood:

Infrared Vision

Social structure and grooming

In other news, the Queers & Comics Conference in NYC is fast approaching! May 7-8 you’ll be able to sit in on jillions of panels about QUEER COMICS.

I’ll be on three panels (Queer Memoir, and Trans/GQ Character Design on May 7, Queer Male Identity on May 8). Check out the full schedule for all the awesomeness.

In other other news, I have a page and a half left to ink on VoSS chapter 3, and then it’s on to painting. EXCITE.

Cheers,

Dylan
