Commissioned art!

So, here I am blurring my identities a bit, but I'm excited and readers of this blog may appreciate this!

The phenomenally talented Allie Kleber, indie comics creator extraordinaire, approached me a couple of years ago to work on an erotic short comic for the anthology they were co-editing with some other cartoonists, Queerotica. Our piece, "Headspace", was published there--the digital comic anthology is available here, though unfortunately the print edition has long since sold out). Allie also did a follow-up comic responding to some comments about the chest binding in the story, which you can see here.

A few months back, Allie put out a call for commissions. I, being an avid fan of their art, leapt at the chance. I wanted a 3-piece series of pin-ups to do with rope, and I asked Allie to use the characters we developed for Headspace for it. We did a lot of back and forth about the rope design and about goals for the piece--as mentioned in my last entry, I'm particularly interested in art depicting process lately, and I think this series does a good job highlighting that.

Anyhow, I am decidedly delighted by the art and I hope you will click the image below to view the full set on Allie's tumblr and leave them delightful notes (or whatever it is you kids do on tumblr).

Love it! I do not do the tumbling, but feel free to pass along that I loves it.

MsLorelei is resharing this on Tumblr, so it should show up on her (my) DW/LJ when it posts.
