Team AmErika

by Sam Orchard on April 23, 2013 at 4:41 pm

So I’ve been obsessively watching Strip Search since it began. Joe teases me, and says that he hopes that someone creates a reality tv show about queer and trans theorists, so he has something to watch too.

Aaaaanyway.

Erika Moen and Amy Falcone are contestants, and whilst I have been a long time fanboy of Erika, I have now developed a new slightly-creepy-fan-crush on Amy. Also (!!) They are totes bffs on the show!

So I drew fanart of them combining pictures of them from my favourite moments of them in the show (Amy’s one is from Episode 1, and Erika’s one is from Episode 6):

Anything That Loves

by Sam Orchard on April 17, 2013 at 9:17 am

 

Y’all! I’m super excited to be in this amazing anthology: Anything That Loves! It’s a collection of comics talking about non-straight and non-gay sexualities – so bi, pan, queer, omni, wibbly-wobbly, and all the other fantastic words that we use to describe our sexualities. It’s trans and genderqueer friendly too, and has one of my comics in it! And it’s all thanks to the amazing Zan Christensen at Northwest Press (incredible Queer Comics Publisher!)

I can’t tell you how stoked I am to have my art in the same book as amazing artists like Erika Moen, Amy Falcone (omg how cute is she in Strip Search, I just might die), Ellen Forney, Jason Thompson, Randall Kirby, and Leia Worthington (to name just a FEW OF THE AMAZING ARTISTS, IN THIS BOOK, ZOMG, SERIOUSLY!!

I feel like I’ve just been pushing a whole slate of kickstarters lately – but as this one is already full funded (!!), I’m just putting it out there for geeks who want to get their hands on this awesome book, and other amazing swag… but there’s only 12 days left on this one so you don’t have an endless amount of time…so yeh click here to see the kickstarter

Dunedin Pride

by Sam Orchard on March 3, 2013 at 9:04 pm

I lived in Dunedin for about 8 years. It is an amazing place, and I found many people there who are now part of my Queer Family (including Joe!). Dunedin is a small town in the South Island of New Zealand, and is fairly rural.

My cool friends are now organising a Dunedin Pride! I can’t stress how important it is to have a pride festival in Dunedin!! I think it’ll be amazing, PLUS Joe is performing!!!

The problem is that there are just 9 days left to get their pledgeme campaign (like kickstarter, but for kiwis), and they still need about $1ooo more dollars.  SO PLEASE SHARE, DONATE, AND SHARE AGAIN!! Also their video is super cute, and filled with queer family loves of mine :D :D

So, yeh, help us out! It’s such a great cause, and if you’ve ever lived in a small rural town and wanted it to be safer for Queer people – then this is a campaign that will directly do that for Dunedin. So that’s awesome. Yeh… ok.
