Christian, LGBT, Pan-Sexual. I am happily married. My blog showcases my drawings, and other tumblrings I find interesting. Huzzah.
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)
I totally identify with the gender I was assigned at birth. But there are so many people in my life who are transgender and if any of them would volunteer to serve in our military I would support them 100 percent.
So because of that, I hope it’s okay that I created these two pieces to support all of you who mean so much to me.

I’ve been talking about this “comic” that I’ve been working on for the past two weeks. I just finished sketching the last page of this one shot, and I thought I should introduce the characters to you guys!
This is Eli and Dani! (These sketches of them are actually over a year old X3)
I’ll be honest, I first came up with, and thumbnailed all 20 pages of this comic last year. I have been a bit intimidated by the story. But I feel that it’s an important one to tell, and I hope that you all will like it when I finish.
I know it doesn’t look like much right now, but I finally finished thumb nailing my comic! It will be at least 20 pages of gender non-conforming/gender fluid individuals staying true to who they are. It’s has a little romance, a little action. Trigger warning would probably be an oppressive government forcing people to define themselves in the gender binary.
The character designs i posted are EARLY prelim sketches of the characters, Eli and Dani before I wrote the outline and thumbnail. Probably from FEB. 2016. I am currently redrawing them and refining their designs. :)
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.
I am a Gay Christian, and I recently tuned in to the Reformation Projects Convention in Atlanta. They were streaming the majority of the conference online. The Last speaker said things that blew me away and broke my heart at the same time. here are my thoughts. This is addressed to those Christians who continue to keep us away from Church:
Listened to many powerful things today during The Reformation Project’s Atlanta Conference online. One of the topics that was touched upon really struck me at my core and broke my heart a little bit. and I am shaking so hard I can hardly type.First of all, to my fellow brothers and Sisters in Christ: I am wearing the same Armor of God that you are. We are not enemies. Please stop treating me as such, whether it be by exclusion, disgust, fear, ignoring my existence or pretending not to notice. We have a common enemy and it is not Sexuality and Gender Identity.Secondly, Have you guys ever considered the possibility that you are fighting against the very will of God when he says, “FOR WHO EVER calls upon Jesus will inherit the Kingdom of God.” Have you considered the possibility that you are being used to spit venom and hate and pain when all God wants is for you to love and accept the fact that His love is bigger and greater than we can EVER imagine?Church, have you considered that perhaps you are a roadblock? That you are slowing down HIS work?I know these are tough questions, and you can throw them right back at me. I am shaking right now as I ask them because it never occured to me that perhaps my fellow Christians are being used in a way they never ever thought was possible and that is to perpetuate a LIE that God doesn’t love or accept the LGBT community. Are my fellow Christians preventing VITAL members of the Body from joining churches?I am shaking because as marriage equality moves forward, I have faith that someday Kat and I, and the LGBT community will stand beside you, and worship God TOGETHER without fear…That day is not here yet…please stop and think are you slowing down HIS KINGDOM from advancing? All we want is to LOVE our FATHER WITH YOU.We serve the same God, We have the same savior. We have the same mission. We are not your enemy. Please PLEASE consider this.#TRPinATL
