I’m Angela, creator of the graphic novel LU AND REN’S GUIDE TO GEOZOOLOGY, illustrator, and author, just trying her best to finish her projects and get the word out about them with minimal psychic damage to everyone involved.

Want to know what I’m up to, but don’t want to undergo an entire Hero’s Journey through the burning wasteland that is the current social media landscape to find out? Well I don’t blame you, and I’ve got just the newsletter for you! Anecdotal will be sent out about four times a year, with the the odd one in between if anything particularly exciting is happening.

Anecdotal is a free newsletter; I never intend to monetize it. That’s what Patreon is for.

What news is in the newsletter?

  • Updates on my upcoming graphic novel(s) and other projects! Currently in the works: LU AND REN’S GUIDE TO GEOZOOLOGY (May 27, 2025)

  • Comics, sketches, and illustrations

  • Whatever’s inspiring me lately: books I’m reading; my fellow artists; a cool fact that delighted or horrified me (or both)

  • Upcoming conventions or events

  • At least one of the following: cats, tiny trees, bread

Thank you for your support!
