Project #1: The Amazing Adventures of Bart Bartson & Demolition Dinosaur #2

What it’s about: The Amazing Adventures of Bart Bartson and Demolition Dinosaur is the story of Bart Bartson, a recently orphaned 9-year-old boy who lands in an abusive foster situation. Tormented by the other boys at the home, Bart escapes into his imagination where he finds companionship in the form of a 20-foot-tall t-rex named Demolition Dinosaur. Together, the two adventure, swashbuckle, and defend a Venusian Queen from an army of toad monsters. The confidence Bart acquires through his adventures provide a foothold from which he regains a modicum of control in a world torn apart by loss. This is a story of overcoming trauma through imagination and dinosaurs and ray-guns: think Calvin and Hobbes meets Pan’s Labyrinth.

The second chapter (of four) is a 24-page, full color comic that opens with Bart and Demolition Dinosaur beginning to tap into the full potential of their partnership as they tangle with a group of killer robots. These adventures are a boon to Bart’s confidence, which is good because, back at Madame Stockholm’s foster home, Roddy’s abuse is growing more severe. Faced with increasingly dire circumstances in the real world, Bart finds an outlet to begin fighting back when he joins epic battle featuring a Venusian queen, a hoard of snarling of toad monsters, and a rampaging dinosaur. Sounds fun, right?

Project #2: Tracy Queen #1-3: I Want More – A NSFW Comic

What it’s about: Tracy Queen is an epic, NSFW, spectacular, pleasure-positive, sci-fi roller coaster of a graphic novel being told across eight volumes by IPPY Award–winning author Lynsey G (Watching P0rn, PACK) and celebrated illustrator Jayel Draco (Children of Gaia, PACK). The granddaughter of a powerful organized crime boss, Tracy Queen was raised as a secret weapon—a deadly enforcer with a brilliant scientific mind and a sensual allure few could resist. But Tracy left a life of violence to pursue empowerment through pleasure. Now, she funds her independence with adult cam shows, and she’s the biggest phenomenon indie smut has ever seen! But everybody wants a piece…of her success. Her criminal past comes back to haunt her, and the king of mainstream smut resolves to bring her down.

Project #3: SpeedRun

What it’s about: In this world, you have to run fast… or it will catch you. Don’t trip, don’t stop, and don’t look back. The slowest dies. On a tiny planet, far away… Two teams from Earth, a bunch of scientists, and a group of adventurers, have established two bases. Their mission: to exploit the planet and its unique elements. What they didn’t know when they arrived, but what keeps them trapped there now, is that this world orbits a pulsar whose radiation produces some very strange effects. And in the summertime, those effects are heightened to extraordinary degrees! The only way to move between the tw bases is as fast as possible. Vehicles won’t work, engines fail in the ever-changing conditions, so running as fast as possible, leaping high and sliding and skidding across the surface, is the only way. And what a surface! Constantly shifting and throwing up new challenges all the time. It’s so traumatic, they have to be sedated so they don’t lose their minds at the kaleidoscope of terrains and creatures they’ll rush through. But what happens if they stop running? Then IT will catch up to them? What is IT? The most unstoppable force in the universe. And it will change everything.
