Just shy of twelve years, the final page of Love Not Found. It's been quite a ride, huh? It's amazing, no matter how much we prepare ourselves, we're never ready when it comes to say good-bye to something or someone. Whether it's moving away from home, saying farewell to a loved one, or even finishing a really good book. The experience of the journey leaves its mark on us. Life is just like that, but endings bring new beginnings.
I would be honored for you to join me for the next new beginning, a new comic series coming this summer! I've been developing it over the last year and starting in May, I'll be making an announcement about it! Very soon you'll start to see concept art, doodles, and all sorts of material in the lead up to its launch! Creating comics fill me with joy and I look forward to sharing the joy with you! <3

NOTE: To reassure everyone, I know the Strawberry is a plant, not a tree. In this Sci-fi world, Miel’s company was creating all sorts of hybrid plants that could sustain the Monotropan environment. Throughout the series, they’ve made appearances; The Peapricot (pear-apricot hybrid) that Ivy and Holly had been growing at Eyebright, somewhere else I drew in a Sunflower “tree” and other things that were reminiscent of their Earth origins. I envisioned Miel attempting to create this special plant over the course of several years to give as a gift to Abeille.
Adding this announcement to the blog since it will eventually get lost in the archive of comic page posts. The new Strawberry Comics site is live! Gina has given it a beautiful new look and reorganized it to make the site a fantastic resource for finding info on all our past and upcoming projects and events!
ALSO! We’ve opened our own online shop! you can buy all of our graphic novels, comics, zines, and anthologies straight from the source!
CHECK IT OUT and GRAB A BOOK OR STICKER!
Had a lot of fun at Florida Supercon this past weekend! Met a lot of fabulous people. Our booth neighbors were the kindest people you could meet at a convention! They helped us with unloading when we were in a pickle and were very fun to chat with!
This year’s booth setup was definitely an upgrade inspired by last year’s show. More of my non-comic items were brought up to eye level for increased visibility and clarity from a distance. Coming home from the con, I’ve now got some fantastic ideas bubbling on how to level up my booth setup for next year’s show!
It’s always so wonderful to get out among folks who have a shared interest and enthusiasm for comics, sf/f, anime/manga and more. The energy is always great in one big concentrated dose! Now I will relax and absorb the weekend past. Definitely feeling inspired!
I’ll be at Florida Supercon July 18-20, Small Press Booth #1405
Can’t wait to see you all again this year and show you what’s new with Strawberry Comics! We’ll have the freshly printed Transfixed Anthology with us and a bunch of new prints, buttons, and stickers that aren’t even in the shop yet!
