Zine Pre-Orders Are Open!
"You Are With Me Always" is done! The printed zine is available for pre-order, and I'm sharing the full comic digitally next week! Here are the deets.
Since it’s a holiday weekend, I’m going to keep this one short. But wow it feels good to finish something! And it feels even better that it turned out how I hoped it would! As anyone who makes anything knows (which is everyone, we all make things!), having something turn out exactly as you hoped is a rare and gratifying experience. I’m trying to savor that.
This is me savoring by taking an awkward selfie outside:
When I started working on this project a couple months ago, I was obsessed with the idea, but fighting off recurring doubts and wondering if it was even worth talking about. My inner fear-driven, self-preservation voice kept saying, “This probably isn’t going to turn out, and you’ll be embarrassed that you talked about it so much!” Because let’s face it, I’ve talked about it a lot! Fortunately, my obsession side prevailed, and I think talking about the process in this newsletter helped my momentum. Thanks for reading about it all along the way.
If you’re a new subscriber, welcome! You can check out the process of making this zine in my past posts.
Next week, I will release a digital version of the entire comic to subscribers!
So, if you haven’t already subscribed, please be sure to do so! You’ll get the full comic delivered right to your inbox.
What about good ol’ fashioned print?
If you’re into printed objects or looking for a heartwarming gift for a loved one, you can pre-order your copy in my online store. Pre-orders will start shipping on Tuesday, July 12.
I’m also working on some t-shirt designs of the capybara and bird hanging out. I can’t wait to share them with you!
In the meantime, I’ll leave you with this quick flip through I posted on TikTok. Click below to watch!
Have a great week!
