So "queer story deserve a good ending" means we're getting an happy ending right? No tragic gays death, right....?

Please, it's a serious question. I won't buy a book to read again they died at the end...

That's a totally legit question! Thanks for asking!

We're not supposed to say it, but we've had enough stories with tragic gay death endings. We love to create LGBTQ+ character-driven stories with sweet/romantic and epic endings as we all deserve!

So please, give a chance to our book and we promise you will not be disappointed!

  📢A VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!📢 Me and @iolanda-zanfardino can finally share that “A THING CALLED TRUTH VOL 2: Drive Home”, the exciting epic conclusion to the romantic roadtrip adventure will be soon live on @kickstarter ! Please, subscribe to the pre-launch page to know when it’ll be live! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/178543812/a-thing-called-truth-vol-2-drive-home
As we stated before, there’s so much left to tell of “A THING CALLED TRUTH” series… and here’s your chance to know how it ends! We are extremely grateful to both Brent Fisher and @cerealpancake​ who helped us creating the campaign!!

Hey people!

So… I’m back! lol

Never left, actually, but haven’t written a text post in… months. Maybe years?

Anyways, how are you doing? Well, I hope!

Just wanted to give you a few heads-up on things that have changed in the past two/three years:

I got engaged and moved in with @iolanda-zanfardino (please, do me a favour and follow her, SHE’S A FUCKING GENIUS), which is also my working partner! <3 During these years we created 3 creator owned comics series:

  1. Alice in Leatherland ( Black Mask Studios);
  2. A Thing Called Truth  (Image Comics);
  3. The Least We Can Do (Image Comics);
  4. Hecate’s Will (Black Mask Studios);  PS: this is Iolanda’s second complete author book -first was Midnight Radio from OniPress-. She completed the book between Alice and ATCT and I have no idea how she was able to pull it off! Sadly, for reasons beyond her control, the book’s been stuck at issue #3 for months, but publication should be restarting soon… ) 

That’s s lot of stuff! It’s queer and it’s made by queer people!

This may explain why you have not seen me interact much, but I can tell you that turning yourself into a comics creator full time is no joke and… takes time!

What I am going to do here from now on is promote these comics here ( as you may have already noticed) so, yeah, this post is a confirmation that things have changed “a bit” from the moment you’ve been following me for fanarts, shits and giggles, but… if you still want to hang with this blog of mine, you’re welcome! And please, support our comics! I hate the promoting part, I’m not good at that, but it would really help if you could “like & share” our posts (this place aint like Twitter, likes don’t show up on other people’s timelines/dashboards, they’re more like bookmarks for yourself or something like that, so if you REALLY want people to see something you gotta HIT that reblog button!).

Now, my plan includes creating a comics creator network just like Twitter had/has. I’ll do my best to support other comics creators as well! I want to reblog their stuff on this blog too, but in order to do so, please write your tumbrl post comics url down here!

Hope you read till this line. Thank you so much for your attention!

For any question, hit my ask box! See ya!
