Can you recommend some good lady punk?

The classic ones that I guess might be sorta obvious are Siouxsie and the Banshees, Patti Smith and Blondie. Also great are X-Ray Spex, The Slits, Penetration, Vice Squad, Au Pairs and Delta 5. 

If you’re going the Riot Grrrl route you’ll want to start with Bikini Kill. My faves are Sleater-Kinney and their recent semi-reformation Wild Flag. Screaming Females are recent and rad too. (I’m sure someone knee-deep in the punk scene would have a more comprehensive list of active bands.)

For artier stuff you’ll wanna be all about The Raincoats. And people think I’m joking, but The Shaggs are amazing and total protopunks.

Perfect Tides

Hi Tumblr people, it’s been quiet for a bit!! But I have been working on something that you may want to hear about: my first ever game, Perfect Tides!! It’s a point and click adventure about being a teen. Written, directed and animated by me, with environments by Soren Hughes.

I’ve just begun fundraising on the game. If you’d like to preview the trailer and initial art, and maybe be a part of making this project a reality, click the link and have a look!

There’s less than 48 hours to get in on backing Perfect Tides! We’re now very close to a 40k stretch goal, where the minicomic for backers will be in full color. Check out the trailer if you haven’t, and considering pledging to my next big project!

Hey, I've been a fan of Octopus Pie for years and as soon as I saw the game announcement I wanted to back it instantly, but sadly Kickstarter doesn't take paypal. ;n; Is there another way for me to contribute to the game?

I appreciate the sentiment! Something you could do is contribute to my ongoing Patreon campaign. Since I’m reserving the KS bucks for freelancer payouts, Patreon is the part that actually pays me to work on the game. Anything at all is a big help!

I’m back from my USA book tour, and finally have a window of time to sell some Octopus Pie books directly! If you’ve been waiting to get a signed copy of Volume 5, this is your chance. The other books are also available individually or in a 5-pack....

I’m back from my USA book tour, and finally have a window of time to sell some Octopus Pie books directly! If you’ve been waiting to get a signed copy of Volume 5, this is your chance. The other books are also available individually or in a 5-pack. Each copy bought from me is signed - optionally, you can add a sketch as well! This sale will end on Sunday night, August 6th, so hop over there now!

If getting a book isn’t enough, there’s a cause as well! Proceeds from the first 50 books sold will be donated to Black & Pink, an organization working with and advocating for LGBTQ inmates. Even if you’re not getting a book, check them out and support the vital work they do.

A note on buying books: if you get a 5-pack, there’s a good chance you’ll need to wait a few weeks while I order stock. I appreciate your patience. If you need a book by a deadline, let me know and I’ll do my very best to accommodate. :)

Soooo, I started a blog….

Hey Tumblr people - I’ve been posting updates about OP touring over on my new blog. I know if you’re using Tumblr you’d rather be following blogs HERE, but I figured I’d post a link anyway. Follow along if you’d like to hear about future projects - I’ll be posting on Tumblr less often, but will try to crosspost whenever the news is big.

Thanks to everyone who’s sent me a nice message lately. I read everything and it warms my heart.
