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.

Campaign – My Friend is a Super Hero

by Sam Orchard on February 26, 2013 at 3:38 pm

A while back I wrote about illustrating a book with Barbara Pike and Philip Patston.

Now we’re doing a PledgeMe campaign (it’s like Kickstarter for Kiwis) to raise money to do a print run to get the books in schools! You can help us out, and score some cool swag (including art by me, and your chance to be drawn as a super hero!!)

Watch me being awkward in the promo video!

Check out the campaign, and pledge!

Deputy Editor Lia Incognita explains “When you have support and understanding from the people you care about, you can approach everything with guts and calm resilience. And when you max out on romance, bliss or just really good sex, the rest of the world matters a bit less.”

Philip Patston and Barbara Pike wrote it  for the Diversity Works Trust. They’re pretty amazing. You can read more about the book here, and you can order them here too (the books, not Philip and Barbara…) !
