[1:12] Lavender Valley

You wasted an hour sitting behind your laptop, trying to fool yourself into believing you weren’t totally distracted by that Post-It. Over and over you’d push it out of your mind, start reading the email and the words would become a meaningless jumble of letters and you were back to wondering what it could mean. If it meant anything at all! Finally, surrendering to your curiosity you shut your laptop and threw on your shoes and hoodie and back headed out. 

Hurrying down the fro...

[1:11] Lavender Valley

The fresh air was just what you needed to clear your head. 

You set out on the same path you walked the other day.  You were sure the path continued on past the gazebo to form a larger loop around the whole complex. It wasn’t a marathon but you just wanted to get out and stretch your legs so it would be good enough. 

By the time you got dressed and made it out of your complex’s front door most of your neighbors had already left for work. Though a few stragglers ...

“Real quick,” you say, “Josh said me, him and one other guy were the only men living here at Lavender Valley. Surely that’s not true right?” 

“No. Of course not,” Sophie says though you wonder if perhaps you detected a moment of hesitation. “This is a big complex. Give it time and a few more will scurry out of their man caves.”

She flashes a grin as she takes a few more steps toward her apartment. 

“Yeah. No. Totally. You’re probably right. It...

To Everyone: Happy Holidays!

I need to start by thanking everyone for supporting me. I've been drawing TG/TF stuff for a lot of years now and it's always been other people's projects. Having to make a couple of bucks as well as working and doing the life thing really didn't leave any time for me to an original project. So it's been super nice to be able to do Mommy Dearest this year and everyone here made that possible. That has been awesome and creatively satisfying so thank you so, so much.

Back when this starte...

You open the door, fill the threshold and cross your arms. 

She looks up at you with a slight, amused smile. 

It becomes a stand off. She tilts her head, you raise an eyebrow, and neither wants to be the first to speak. With a roll of her eyes and a sigh she surrenders. 

“Aren’t you going to invite your favorite neighbor in?” she asks. 

You might literally have done a double take. “No. I was not planning on it, no.” 

“List...

Mommy Dearest Part 11

Ryan dips his toe (heels?) into his mom's old life but how long can he resist the allure of Her life?

[1:8] Lavender Valley

(Cunning Roll Failed!)

“Okay, well. It’s your music.” you say.

“What about it?” 

You swallow down a small surge of anger before continuing. “Yeah, well it was kind of on the loud side. I could hear it through the walls all last night and just now and you probably weren’t aware how loud it was – “

“I mean, I was aware. I was listening to it.” she flippantly replies. 

You preface what comes next with an exasperated chu...

[1:7] Lavender Valley

It was about 2am when the pulsing finally stopped for good. You were a little wound up. You played through a dozen versions of the confrontation that you were going to have tomorrow several becoming arguments which you won’t with scathing insults and dazzling word play. You were the best and by 3 am you fell into a restless anxious sleep. 

Your alarm went off at around 8am but you slapped snooze a bunch of times and finally got up around 9 something. You didn’t feel great. Eith...

Status Update: Mommy Dearest

I am currently sitting with 6 pages done and ready to go with 2 to 4ish more left to do before I hit a good stopping point. I wanted to upload last weekend or tonight (Monday the 25th) at the latest but there are two problems for hitting that goal;

1. I want to stick the landing. It's been a long comic and I don't want to biff it so I have added some pages, and I'm currently tweaking the pacing and figuring out how I want to do this. I think I am going to add another page so it doesn't...

(Cunning Roll: Success!)

Josh turns his attention back to the game and is quiet for a few seconds before he says, “Damn, you think?”

“Absolutely, and be honest. Women can smell our BS a mile away, but some honest sincerity and vulnerability is everything.” you tell him. 

He nods. “Dude, it’s going to be so awkward.”

“Yep, gotta take your lumps if you want a chance to get back in her good graces.”

“Alright so, b...

“What do you mean creeped out?” you ask. 

Josh doesn’t respond, taking a few seconds to stare at the game before replying. “Nah, it’s nothing. It’s stupid. Forget I said anything.” He flashes a smile, takes a long swig from his beer and asks, “you ever do any online betting? They make it sound like you’re going to make all this money but I can’t imagine that’s what’s going to happen. House always wins and all that.” 

You sense some nervousness. ...

[1:4] Lavender Valley

“Oh jeeze. One of those guys eh’? Well you must fit in great around here then” Josh says as he scrounge around in his fridge. “Think fast!”

A can rockets in your hands. You already winced, expecting the worst, before you realize you actually caught it! (Coordination Roll: Success) Although stunned, you play it cool. Hoping Josh will respect your latent sporting acumen and not see it for the freak feat of accidental athleticism it was. You take a seat on one end...

Mommy Dearest Update

I'm a bad person. I can't get the new section out this week. I am aiming for next week but life is definitely getting in the way. I'm finally shaking off the last of this cold, last week here in America it was chaos, and next week I might need to head out of town for a few days.

What I will say is that it is half done and I am super happy with the pages. Also to quote Doctor Stephen Strange, "We're in the endgame now" and I don't want to rush and I don't want to biff it especially thi...

[1:3] Lavender Valley

Josh’s apartment was a dude’s oasis in a desert of femininity. You thought it might just have been yours but  apparently all the apartments were painted a very faint pink with a darker almost rosy color of trim and molding. The kitchens were white with hinges and hardware inlaid with delicate flowers and winding vines. The bathrooms had a large vanity and those makeup mirrors rimmed by lightbulbs. 

But Josh wasn’t content with living amongst all the estrogen induc...

Stunned, you got up let him shepherd you to the door as he shrugged on his blazer. You would have just walked on through had he not shot you an impatient little flip of the hand and a flaring of his eyes behind his thick designer frames. 

Something in you snapped.

“You know what Mr. Harmon, every week we put up with your absolute nonsense because most of the time you’re just a nuisance. You’re just this irritating thing we have to deal with so we can get p...

[1:1] Lavender Valley

It had been a brutal month and a half. 

It all began when most of your stuff was destroyed when a pipe burst flooded the run-down basement apartment you were renting. It got worse when the slimeball landlord refused to replace any of your stuff claiming he wasn’t at fault.. Which was just what your insurance company wanted to hear so they could weasel out of covering any damages. You learned that renters insurance doesn’t cover flooding. You were suddenly faced with one ...

Coming Soon: Lavender Valley an Interactive Story

Hey hey everyone,

I mentioned in a previous post that I wanted to write a TG story in parts and I wanted it to have some kind of interactive element but I wasn't exactly sure how I wanted to do it. I think I've figured it out.

Coming in the next few days I want to start this story and there will be sections posted and it will end with a number of options. Those options will be like the super old text-based RPGs of like the Windows 3.1 days like if anyone is old enough to remem...

Mommy Dearest - part 10

Ryan has a moment of clarity.

Coming Soon: Choose your own TG Adventure

A while back I had a plan to do a TG play by post game but there were a few logistical problems that I kept running into but I did want to do some writing TG writing. Especially if I end up taking on some commissions when Mommy Dearest (next part coming next weekend) comes to an end.

So in the next day or so I think I am going to do a story, told in the second person, that ends with a series of options on where the story will go or what you want your character to do.

My plan i...

Keeping you up to speed.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to write a thing and say two things.

The first is the new sketch I uploaded. I have drawn these things for years as a way to organize thoughts for TG/TF stories I never really got around to doing. I thought I'd upload one with a very rough outline of an idea I've been kicking around that may become a more finished and lengthier comic like Mommy Dearest one day.

I consider this a "movie trailer" almost. If I were to do a larger story I'd no doubt tak...

New Karen on the Block [Sketch]

Better or worse than an HOA? Hmm?

(This is the first in a sketch series of short TG/TF comics)

Mommy Dearest - Part 9

Ryan wakes up a day after giving into Charlotte in a weird place. But he gets a bit of good news that he hopes will solve this very weird chapter in his life.

Interest Check: Illustrated Stories and a possible Play By Post game

There are a few projects I'd love to do that are lengthy. Drawing them as comics would take months if not years. Even with the style I am doing Mommy Dearest.

I've been thinking of just writing a story and peppering in some illustrations here and there. Nothing is confirmed. Just some thoughts I had about adding in some content diversity here on the page. These would be in addition to, releasing a chapter every month or so, the usual comics. If people though would much rather just see...

The busiest part of the summer is behind me.

I am pleased to report that all my rather exhausting obligations are mostly in the rearview. I have a part time job that makes me end up working fully time (still trying to figure out that math) for a few weeks in the summer.

So now, I am looking forward to jumping back into Mommy Dearest. I did however scrape together some time to finalize the script. We have an ending. We have a solid direction and I'm excited to get working on it.

After that I have a fun commission waiting...

Taming of the Dude commission from Healthy Fetish Comics

Mommy Dearest part 8

Ryan, now wanting to go by Charlotte, has an over due conversation with Marc.

The Salon commissioned by Thandrall

The next part of Mommy Dearest is still a work in progress so I thought now is a great time for me to upload an old commission, from waaaaaaay back in 2016 from Thrandrall.

Mommy Dearest Part 7 (ish)

Marc makes a tough decision and so did Ryan.

(This is a little micro update. The next part I don't want to interrupt and it might be a few pages. We'll see after a second edit pass. But I wanted to get this up regardless.)

Mommy Dearest Part 6

Marc struggles with the consequences of Ryan's spell as Ryan struggles with a new, more intense recurrence of that strange tingle...

Mommy Dearest Part 5

Maybe Mrs. Campbell is onto something. Maybe he can enjoy it. You know, just until she finds a way to reverse it...
