Hi!
Just a quick note that I've started making diary comics! I've been posting them daily for the past couple weeks over at
Patreon. Here's an example of what I'm talking about:
It's been really fun recording the most interesting parts of each day, and I hope to keep doing this for awhile. It's my new favorite morning ritual, right before my morning run. (I highly recommend you try it if you've got the creative bug in you.)
If you're unfamiliar, Patreon is a website where you can support your favorite creators (visual artists, writers, musicians, etc.) by subscribing to their blogs. I have several support tiers. $1/month gets you diary comics, work-in-progress posts, and my new comic posts (including my new series Asian Goth Punks Rule the World!, which is also being serialized in print over at Razorcake Magazine). If you can afford more than a buck per month, I have more interesting tiers (including a mentorship tier if you're an aspiring author or cartoonist). I won't go into it all here. If you're interested, check it out at
patreon.com/marinaomi In other news, I'm excited to start a podcast with my good friend author Myriam Gurba.
Ask Bi Grlz is an advice podcast focused on bisexuality, multiculturality, and the artistic process. We're still accepting questions, so if you have anything to ask us (anything at all!), send your q's to askbigrlz@gmail.com
Okay, that's about it. Stay tuned for some exciting book tour news for 2018. :)
Love,
MariNaomi
