Hi gang! I am SO excited to be in an online space where the average age isn't 22. I'm Jey, they or it, a nasty little comics goblin who will be 37 this September. I'm big into fantasy nerd shit and got my internet art-sharing start on Elfwood. I make a webcomic called Job Satisfaction, about freelance demon summoners making their own way in a city that politely thinks they should be anything else. jobsatisfactioncomic.com/comic/cover-01/I've been making it for SEVEN YEARS. It's been a bit stalled for a while because I'm dealing with chronic pain in my Art Arm that I'm still trying to figure out. So yeah, I might not be able to participate much in art jams or trades (etc.) right away. I like: Sending mail, Halloween, zines, history, dragons. You know. All the good stuff. Looking forward to getting to know everyone better! |

Hehe, I know... I hesitate to say that I wanna limit the space to 30+ cause I'm open to anyone. But I guess I kinda do, heheee.... (no offense to anyone under 30 I promise)
I also got my start on Elfwood! Ah, the memories. I should look that up on wayback machine, actually.
I just recently was reading Job Satisfaction and I freakin love it, dude. And I really relate to having a project going for years and years. That's how all of my projects are... I drew the first page of my own comic in 2015 (Even though I'd had the idea for it kicking around since 2008, dammit) and I still only have like 4 pages ready. Ah. Life. Damn, I really hope you are able to sort out the pain.
your mail/stationary/zines are the best. xd
I'm super stoked you joined, like whoa, yes!!!

Hey! Oh man it's great to see you here. I am not good at checking tumblr or interacting there but I love your work.
Elfwood was great :')

Ah, the Elfwood days! I'm in my 40s so I get you. Excited to read up on your comic! I have a feeling we've met... were you ever into making BJD eyes??

That comic sounds adorable, I'm definitely putting it on my to-read-next list. It's also really lovely to meet more queer and non-binary people who are a bit older than 22! Very reassuring.

DA, too, but man, there was just something about Elfwood. My younger sister discovering it in random web surfing is what made me (a luddite) finally decide to use the internet on my own. Do you perhaps mean.... BJD eyes like THESE?  (these are actually pendants in-progress from a few years ago but yep it's me! the eye guy) |

Fair warning (although I don't get the sense it would bother anyone here) but my comic is like... full of sex/kink jokes. Adorable? I dunno! Sincere? For sure! The entire premise hingeing on people being horny for demons? Emphatically yes, haha. I quit gender more than a decade ago when I knew of ONE(1) other nonbinary person in the entire universe. And I've seen nonbinary senior citizens since then. People thinking it's some trendy new teen thing are so far off the mark. ;D |

I am looking forward to binging this webcomic.
Totally feel your literal pain with the arm thing. I developed medial epicondylitis years ago and now have to plan out drawing well in advanced so I can rest my arm enough before hand. So stupid and frustrating! Hopefully whatever is going on with your arm is easily manageable or temporary!

Hi! Omg elfwood, that was my first online gallery too... using high school computers in the '90s before my family ever got a dial-up connection! Also I am fully on board for All Halloween All the Time!

Joining the "omg Elfwood" bandwagon: SO long ago. (I remember their very annoying moderation attempting to arbitrate what "counted as fantasy.") I remember us being in each others' orbit during PE, but I don't think I ever got a chance to do work for you- it's so cool that you're still doing art and I'm glad to be in community with you again!

Excited to see you again!
