During NDE v2, I experienced intense tendinitis in my drawing hand, which forced me to take a long time away to rest and also have a healing period where I was updating the comic, but unfortunately not able to color. There was a chunk of pages that were purely spot color, but with the release of the printed book coming out, you'll be seeing those fully realized! HOW COOL!! 

Here's a look at what you can be looking forward to!! 

Thanks for EVERYTHING as always, and hopefully see some of y'all at FlameCon 2019 next weekend!! Love ya!

This is the end of book two!! WOW. It felt ... like quite the long journey, and i actually feel like a totally different person than the one who started writing this series. I am, in fact, VERY different than the person who started writing this series. And through it all, y'all have always been so supportive and kind and encouraging. I can't thank you enough. NDE means a lot to me, and in some ways is hard for me to talk about and express, for reasons I'm not even entirely sure why, but know that y'all have made it such a treat the entire way.

The next few weeks will be a little sketchbook updates while I get gearing on the third book and completing all I need to for the 2nd Kickstarter! I will also be attending FLAMECON 2019 next weekend (Aug 17th-18th)! I hope to see you there, and that the year has been treating y'all kindly!!

Love ya lots!!

Wow!! I just finished moving to Austin, TX! I'm so happy to be here, and I think it's a wonderful change for me!! I'm super excited to settle in, and have some really exciting things to announce soon!! 

In the meantime, enjoy some photos of my new set up (and my sweet dear cat and bird sons).

LOVE YA! Your continued support means the world to me!!

Hey everyone!!

I know it's been a minute! My surgery went extraordinarily well, and recovery went smoothly and I feel incredibly lucky and happy!! My last day in retail is going to be THIS Friday, and I'm utterly stoked at the new amount of time and attention I can pour into my projects, including NDE! I have a lot of really wonderful things in the works--you may have even seen the really cool announcement that I will be working once again with Ananth Hirsh on a book called Greater Secrets with Random House Graphic! I'm so honored and it will be a DELIGHT and can't wait to share even more with you guys, soon.

On top of that, my store is going to be moving so will be closed temporarily! Bigger and better things are on the horizon, (I can't wait!!) but until then, you can catch a VERY awesome 15% off sale! A wonderful way to grab a few things you were maybe eyin' for a while! Simply enter in the code 15MOVING at checkout!! 

Click here to go to my shop!! 

I'll also be at Emerald City Comic Con again this year, with some amazing friends, so if you're going, please hit me up! I love meeting new faces and also seeing old buddies! I'll give out more information once I'm closer to the event itself, but it is absolutely one of my most favorite cons out of the year, so I'm just ecstatic. See you in Seattle!

Last, but not least, I wanted to talk about Not Drunk Enough itself! I truly appreciate everyone's patience with how spotty it's been the past year. I love the comic so dang much, but so many things have come up and made it hard to update regularly. I have been working hard on it, though! The entirity of book two is inked and lettered, and now I'm just in a blind run to finish all the colors, so updating should be MUCH more steady! And you know what else that means! It means that working to get book two printed and out is going to be UNDER WAY!! 

LOVE YOU ALL, and I hope you are having a fantastic beginning of your week!

-Tess!!

As a tiny aside, I also made a Twitch channel in which I primarily play Dragon Age : Inquisition, but it's pretty darn fun!!

I have been waiting for this for SO LONG!! I can't believe it's finally here!! At 9AM tomorrow, I will be going in and getting top surgery, thusly needing about 1-2 weeks of downtime recovery. I've been working non-stop in both retail and comics to try and get things done and also make sure that this surgery actually happened. It was my major goal, and it's so surreal that it's time. A lot of things have happened in 2018. Some good, some bad, but a lot that made it honestly quite hard to be productive on a level that I truly wanted, specifically with comics. It was very hard to talk about at the time, but I'm hoping to be able to in the future and hopefully compile some of the things I went through (specifically in being transgender and applying for surgery) in order to help those who are like me, and fighting that uphill battle. I'm also hoping to be able to catch up on a lot of things that fell to the wayside while juggling retail and surgery prep.

Thank for your continued support. I know NDE has been patchy in updates for a long while, but I truly appreciate you sticking along for the ride. 2019 means so much to me in many ways--so many new beginnings.

I'm ready for a tiny bit of time off, and then back to the grind. Thanks for everything guys, you all mean the world. <3 Fight hard, love strong, and stay badass.

-Tess! 

PS: I'll try posting some recovery pics. ;) 

Due to to some recent circumstances, I've had to move very suddenly into a new apartment! On top of juggling a few deadlines and other things, this has made me update Not Drunk Enough a little bit slower. I'm so sorry! We'll be back to our regular programming soon, twice a week!

Until then, just enjoy pastel pink, the primary color of all horror.........right???

Love you all, and thank you for your support as always!!!

-Tess! 

HEAD TO MY SHOPIFY

Finally the ghost boys have arrived. SEEN NOTHING YET Vol 3 (18+) is now at my SHOPIFY! And not only that, Vol 1 + 2 have been RESTOCKED! Fill your holidays with two goofballs who are not really good at their amateur ghost hunting job. Or maybe they're actually kinda good, but way too distracted with each other?? Nah. 

And EVEN BETTER, there's now patches for each of the boys, so you can rep them both or whichever one makes your EMF reader beep.
