Hey everyone! I’m working on a 20 page comic and here are my two main characters, Eli and Dani!!! Aren’t they adorable?

My comic is about a couple of trans people and their refusal to give up. I hope you will like it when I finish it.

Comic page WIP, just because I’m actually really proud of this page… so far! (Need to clean the lines up a bit…)
I removed a few key elements of the page to keep from spoiling the comic’s meaning. So you basically have someone who dropped their knitted hat and someone is thoughtul enough to return it to them…ahaha

(Ignore the people in the background…they won’t make sense with this page out of context)

Sketch of Mythos and Kyrie being see and supportive of each other. Because healthy relationships are important.

Been waiting a while to post this. I drew this for my local paper and it is running in Today’s (Sunday, April 3) paper. (Its in Black and White in print)

I don’t know how many of my friends are paying attention, but there’s a really scary bill HB 2737 in Kansas that could put the lives of Trans individuals (or anyone who is suspected to be) at risk.

Basically, what this bill is trying to say is that you have to use the rest room of the gender that was assigned to you at birth.
Never mind the fact that you may not look like that gender, feel safe in a restroom full of people with that gender, or even identify with that gender.
The scariest part about all of this? The Kansas Government would offer a reward of 2500 dollars to anyone who can successfully out a transperson using a bathroom of their gender identity. And where would it happen? In HIGH SCHOOL and COLLEGE Bathrooms.

This is seriously wrong guys. Can you imagine the scars and pain that this could mean for people who JUST WANT TO PEE in peace. This is basically legalized pedophilia and molestation.

And If I hear someone say “But a guy who is dressed like a girl can go into our locker rooms and bathrooms and hurt our daughters…” Dude no. That has not ever happened and it could happen no matter HOW a person identifies.

Transgender individuals are NOT criminals. Stop treating them as such.

This bill will probably be looked at again in a couple weeks (the KS gov is on spring break at the moment.) I pray that this bill won’t pass.

I am not sure how helpful my editorial cartoon is, but I hope it at least does something. I have a few other illustrations in mind that I may post later.

What can I say? This weekend has probably been the second greatest weekend of my life. (Next to our wedding of course.) I have learned so much, felt so much love and acceptance. For the very first time in three years I felt free to worship God with other Christians without fear of being judged or mocked. For the first time my wife and I held hands toward heaven as we worshiped God together in song without awkward looks. As I sobbed years of joy and sadness that this gathering was ending soon, my wife’s embrace kept me standing. Worshiping with LGBTQ Christians and Allies was the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. To truly understand why would require some time, but we are a group of people who, for the most part have experienced massive pain and heartache from places that were once our safest sanctuaries before coming out. (I mean that literally and figuratively). But for some those places of safety and worship came to represent pain, repression, exclusion, and broken hearts. For some, their lives were and are on the line, and to see that a ministry like The Reformation Project has been able to empower Christians to SAVE LIVES so they can worship together in one safe place for a weekend… Is truly beautiful. I don’t care where you are on your journey toward LGBTQ affirmation and inclusion in the Church. It will take time and you are free to have that time. But the Holy Spirit was there tonight. The Lord is alive and well in the hearts of my fellow LGBTQ brothers and sisters. And He is doing amazing work through us. And nothing anyone can say will ever take away what was felt and experienced this weekend. As we worshipped tonight, I was saddened by the daunting task being open on rural KANSAS and teaching other LGBTQ people in our area. It all seems so large. But God gave me a vision of Jesus walking on the water, and be has called all of us out there with Him. He is smiling and proud that we have faith to walk with Him …and the sky is opened up and shining down on us, almost like Jesus’ baptism. IT WAS SO beautiful it was as if God was challenging me to trust thst he is God and he will provide, he always does. We are LGBTQ. We are Christians trying to live our lives authenticity and faithfully. And we aren’t going to let our lights be hidden behind behind a bush. We won’t allow anyone to snuff them out. We are going to let our light shine.
