Aero Zero is the writer and artist of some of the most gorgeous and richly coloured fantasy online right now. I was linked to their comic Men+Monsters by a friend, and read the entire thing in one hungry binge – It’s so rare to find an NSFW comic with this much creativity, design and good/realistic kink & poly representation: it’s no wonder their other works share this fantasy world; it’s has far too much potential to squeeze into a single thing. I jumped at the chance to talk to them about it. The Interview – So you have a LOT of comics going on atRead More →

After hungrily blitzing through the delightfully punderful comic Poly In Pictures, I asked creator Cassian Lotte Lodge (twitter/tumblr) if they’d like to chat about art, knitting and LGBTQ representation. And after much fan-personing over Doctor Who – we eventually did that. How would you describe your comic, Poly in Pictures? Cassian: I am a very literal person, to warn you in advance! I would describe it as stick people on photographs talking about polyamory, gender, and sexuality – much of it inspired by my shower thoughts and making myself laugh. Where do you find or take those photos for the backgrounds? Cassian: Sometimes I haveRead More →

And while I have plugged it before, when have I been able to resist an interview with some charming and hilarious Canadians? Amy Fox (Series Creator, actor; Chris) and Chance Odin (actor; Phil) join me for a chat about the show’s origins and development, the Kickstarter’s progression and what we can look forward to in the Season 1 debut.

My top crowdsourcing considerations for this month – filled with queer, womanly and sexuality-oriented goodness 🙂 Khaos Komix: The Boxset Gay, Lesbian, Bi and Trans – Khaos is a diverse, character-driven coming-of-age comic series about 8 teenagers of varying sexualities and gender identities. The comic finished back in the beginning of the year, and now that the 4th and final volume is ready to print creator Tab Kimpton wants to end the series with a bang by releasing a shiny box to keep them all in. Khaos helped me a lot through my earlier years as a queer and questioning individual; it’s a really relatableRead More →

It has been a longtime goal of mine to do some proper research-based journalism into Furry Culture. And at the beginning of June (on my birthday no less) I attended my first Furry Con: Confuzzled 2013, in Leicestershire. I interviewed, dealered, ate, danced and made merry – and came back with a pretty simple conclusion RE: “Furries are just people who f*k in suits right?”. The short answer is “NO“, as like any subculture, Furries are a diverse community with varied activities and a series of common interests. Same as Steampunk, Cyberpunk, Gamers, LARPers, ect ect. For the most part Furries are in general: Creative,Read More →

Coming Out Interview

I have always loved the phrase “To Come out of the Closet” It’s about coming out of hiding and leaving somewhere comfortable to face the trails of the wide and diverse world. Leaving the safe space that can only fit one person, to enter an unending plane of boundless possibilities. The phrase really sums up the comfort, claustrophobia and limited movement that you have when you’re hiding a part of yourself. And how leaving the closet is as exciting and brilliant as it is daunting and terrifying. So, what happens when you open that door? Is there a ‘right way’ to do it? What shouldRead More →

Rooster Tails Banner

The rise of webcomics has allowed for an explosion of stories, advice and representation to come out of the trans* community in recent years. Previously a pretty invisible slice of the LGBTQ pie, the spectrum of gender queerness is now documented over the internet in a dazzling array of portrayals. Trans* comics tend to tread a fine line between comedy and tragedy – trying to put forward their facts and life lessons while remaining somewhat uplifting to read. And of all the comics I’ve read, Rooster Tails may have the perfect balance to tug at your heartstrings. So, as I do, I interviewed it’s creator:Read More →

This weekend I interviewed Lindsay Penn aka “The Dinz” for The Geek Show. And for those outside of the know (‘the know’ here referring to my twitter and tumblr profiles) I FREAKING ADORE her biweekly YouTube program and have wanted an excuse to promote her for several months now. the DINZ Interview Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bsbITJKTk8&width=250 the DINZ Interview Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vdaNKxhclE&width=250 The Dinz has been described best by their VFX artist Kezi, “It’s a motivational speech with sketch-comedy cutaways”. Every Tuesday Lindsay tackles a different topic, and reasons through it with advice, evidence and hyperbolas or example sketches from the rest of the crew. TheRead More →
