Happy birthday, Hole!
It’s wild to me that I’ve already been making this comic for two years, and, also, that it’s only been two years! This project is my baby, and has been vital to me excising a lot of the demons I got knocking around in my head. Here’s to more years as I get this thing done!
I might hear you asking, “But isn’t Hole on hiatus right now?” And you would be right! Publicly, anyway. The middle chunk of this year got too busy for me to finish chapter 04 before chapter 03 finished posting, but as a stopgap I have started posting the sketches for chapter 04 up over on my Patreon. If you’re interested in seeing process of how I make this comic or are just itching for more Hole I hope you check it out! Here’s an example of what the sketch pages look like:
If you’re not interested in subscription models but would still like to support the comic, I have good news for you as well! After every chapter I post several pieces of behind the scenes content over on my Patreon that until now was completely isolated to that platform. To celebrate the second anniversary, I have compiled all of that bonus content and bundled it with PDFs of each chapter to publish together over on Itch.io! This is also beneficial if you’re one of those people that prefers to read PDFs over web reading, or you want to download the comic to take it onto a plane or something.
As for other things on the horizon, I have all of the books in now for the Blix & Vega Kickstarter and have begun the process of sending them out. If you backed the Kickstarter, you should be getting your book soon! If you didn’t, and you’re interested in buying your own copy of Blix & Vega, fear not! I will be updating my Big Cartel store soon with the books as well as new prints and stickers and zines I have made. Stay tuned for that update in the next couple weeks.
Thank you all so much!
