October Bullshit

First and foremost: I'm going to be at the Las Vegas Book Festival on October 17th! Come to my 2:45 pm panel "Hard Launch: Relationships, Sexuality and Mental Health in the 2020s" with Kelsey Darragh, Janet Hardy, and me in the Empowered Tent, and then afterwards stop by my signing at 3:45 pm in the Frank Wright Courtyard!

Second and secondmost: The deadline to apply to my comic studio's mentorship program is October 31st! Come learn how to survive in the comic industry from seasoned professionals and I'll be there too.

Sooooooo, what did I get up to over August and September? Not writing a newsletter recapping my various projects and postings, that's for damn sure. Which leads me to the following enormous update (sorry):

Kissing Booth

As Oh Joy Sex Toy describes it, "Middle-aged and post-menopausal, Erika Moen has thoroughly lost her libido. So what the heck is she doing at a KISSING PARTY? Can (and should) she actually ask a hot girl to makeout with her??? Pucker up for her thrilling lip-lockin' adventure!"

I'm not a furry, I just really like drawing the sexy skunk from the early 90s cartoon show, Tiny Toon Adventures. That's normal, right? Right.

Just some other stray sketches:
