My books (pinned!)

The book(s) I’ve been working on for years are finally out soon, here’s what they actually ARE with Handy Links like a professional serious person

———–

Queer romance comics

🎩🏳️‍⚧️ I SHALL NEVER FALL IN LOVE (2024)

Queer historical rom-com, my big new graphic novel out October 2024. Vibes: regency romance, pre-victorian queer history, yearning. Imagine romcom Gentleman Jack or “what if Mr Darcy was a flirty nonbinary disaster” energy. Previews in the tag here / full info, quotes & pics here.

🌿🏳️‍🌈 FINDING HOME (2017-2023)

NOW-COMPLETE, multi award winning, commenters agree “I’m literally crying”-slowburn queer romance webcomic. If you like trees, flower language or agonised pining, this comic may be for you. You can read the whole thing free on tapas & webtoons (or own PDFs here.) More info here

🌊 [Name TBA] comic WIP: tag here

Gamebooks

Game in a book, you make the choices - like a choose-your-own / visual novel / solo rpg. ‘D&D but you can play solo with no experience’ energy.

thank you to this review that explained it better than me.

✨ INTO THE TOWER (2023 - out now)

Fantasy masquerade ball heist into a spellbinder’s tower. With illustrations by 15 seriously amazing guest artists, options such as ‘you are a cursed librarian’, dramatic queer spy rivals romance, losing yourself forever in the source of all magic, etc. More info on my website or in the tag.

🗡️ INTO THE DUNGEON (2018)

My first gamebook! Short and fun, kid-friendly, award nominated, full of weird little guys, and exists out in shops and the internet. Intro post here.

🍷 [Name TBA] gamebook WIP: queer vampire romance. Tag here, patreon previews here

hold on, new revelation

#starting to think ‘people who follow me on tumblr dot com’ was not a representative sample group #I will nevertheless be using this in my argument thanks #i’m actually not here to have a place to put art. i’m here to discuss ferns

[haridraws]

🐻 for the ask game (couldn't sleep because of health solidarity)

no sleep solidarity🤝

(doubling up with @paper-swirls ask!)

 ✏️ being mostly bedbound I find it easiest to draw lying down with an ipad, so I pretty much only draw digitally. UNLESS I actually make it outside to draw a tree...

🐻 ...which I think is a KIND of comfort drawing to me? It makes me focus really specifically with a different part of my brain and stare at nature which is soothing.

though when I'm well enough / less busy with work, maybe my comfort drawing is just 'current favourite OC looking wistful' lol

#asks #thank you!!! (both)

[haridraws]

Hi! Hope you are having a nice Sunday! Also: 🎼🌓

🌓 I try to only draw in the day but I feel like I sometimes get more inspo (or only get the energy) at night tbh!!

🎼 I often have to listen to 'relaxing piano' type music while drawing because of my health, or make specific playlists for different project vibes

but i also recently got the phantom of the opera theme tune stuck in my head for 3 weeks while trying to get in the right gothic headspace for drawing my vampire characters. Did that help? UNCLEAR

#asks #also thanks. you TOO!

[haridraws]

ok actual question though

ferns ferns ferns

#i just drew british ones I vaguely know and see around #but when i looked it up there were SO MANY and some of them are WILD?? #some look like fuckin palm trees. look up hymenophyllum that shit looks like seaweed!!!! #i bet the people following me are a terribly biased sample group but there we are

[haridraws]

who DOESN'T enjoy contemplating insatiable depths-oriented desire, and/or the vast and fathomless ocean and how it will consume and swallow you whole? Don't you love it when they dug too deep, or someone walks into the ocean and comes back wrong? WHAT'S DOWN THERE AND WHY DOES IT CALL TO ME SO?

Anyway new blog: my favourite books (& games) about THE SEA & THE DEPTHS, including some hot new queer indie sea horror that's out next month.

this drawing inspired by ferns, and also my partner saying ‘it doesn’t matter which fern we buy, they all look the same’ at the garden centre. Reblog to start shit with my partner specifically

delicious ordinary food. completely normal. no catch

#dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #i just finished reading all the manga volumes that are out!!! spot the reference to my favourite character... creature... #i'm not japanese but i studied it in school a Lot and our high school teacher made us take cooking classes in japanese to improve #obv they dont cook much trad japanese cuisine in the manga but some of the methods and cultural attitudes to food make me v nostalgic!!! #art #my art #fanart #misc fanart

It's a year today since I got the keys for my flat! I feel so incredibly lucky to be able to be a homeowner, so I want to mark the occasion by giving to people who are without the safety and comfort a home should provide.

Shop Link

My itch store has digital copies of all my books (for half the price of print copies) including several that are now out of print. It is also the only place to get the special digital versions of my goblin zines, which have loads of art and writing you can't get elsewhere!

I hope you'll consider getting some of my silly little books to help an important cause, this felt like the best way to mark the aniversary of getting a home of my own, as I don't have much money to give hopefully donating my shop income will help boost the difference it makes!

hello, did you know I had a book out at the end of last year? Here's an advert for it made of screenshots from random reviews (x)

#what can I say this format makes me laugh #from a skim. the reviews actually seem wildly positive?? probably bc it's not very famous. but it's very nice #'I cried' is my most cherished reader feedback thank you <3 it's about ONE specific ending out of more than 8. I promise #into the tower
