For this holiday event, I will be taking chibi caricature commissions (cute, little chubby anime style characters) of either yourself or loved ones to gift for the Holiday Season. (3.5in x 3.5in sketches on Bristol board.) One per person. Guidelines presented at the event. This event is FREE (though tips are appreciated)!
I’ll also be selling hard copies of Dark Horse Acts 1-3 (rated Mature). I’ll also be selling Dark Horse Fashion Zine: Kanna, as well as stickers and zines. I will have my mask on and will have hand sanitizer at my station.

Portland Zine Symposium, September 21-22, 2024
11a-5pm
Portland State University
Smith Ballroom (3rd Floor)
1825 SW Broadway
Portland, OR, 97201
I’ll be selling hard copies of Dark Horse Acts 1-3 (rated Mature). I also have Dark Horse Fashion Zine: Kanna; Aradia Beat: TGIF the 1990s; The Whimper in the Dark Anthology (printed at home); Veganese (a very stripped down indie zine/personal experience); stickers & postcards, and more!
I will have a few copies of FREE ZINES to give away! Limited supply of Comic Fury Zine issues will be FREE and handed to those asking/zine trades. I only have a few copies of Aradia MGC’s Glitter & Gold and Summer in Aradia to give out. I’m trying to balance having some freebees for folks low on cash, some cheapies & some stuff to help pay for prints and cover booth fee (which the booth fee was super reasonable!)
I will have my mask on and will have hand sanitizer at my station. This event in held indoors. Masks are encouraged to help protect at risk folks. It doesn’t hurt to think of others for a couple hours, so please consider wearing yours! :3

Valentine’s Day Sex Drive: All Day, February 14, 2024
Dark Horse has participated in the Valentine’s Day Sex Drive event for since 2020! This will be my 5th year participating!
What: An R-X rated web comic event. Artists with web comics create either a single image piece or a short comic celebrating Valentines day with Bacchanalian revelry. Each participating comic creates their own image/pages and shares the links to all other participants in the event in the author’s comment. This is both to network for artists, but also (and probably most importantly) to share some NSFW art/content with readers thirsty for nudity.
This event is FOR ADULTS. FOR ADULTS! FOR ADULTS WHO WANT TO SEE NUDITY AND/OR SEXUAL SITUATIONS DEPICTED THROUGH IMAGES.
So if it wasn’t clear, this event can and does get pretty raunchy with outright porn.
When: February 14, 2024
Where: Right here! And on all other participating web comic pages. I’ll be sharing their links on my page 😀
How: It’s just going to be posted as a page here in the 14th. Visit this website, and the image will posted February 14. After a few days, I private the page and move the image to my gallery. So if you want to see the other participants, be sure to check in on the 14th!
