issue six of kim gee comics is here!!!
it’s the end of an era…or at least the end of long-form dating comics. that’s right, i’m taking a break from detailing my every romantic encounter. once this issue finishes posting in april i’m going to be drawing shorter stories and only writing long-form comics about the farthest topic from dating (more info coming soon!). issues one through six have been a labor of love, but here’s the thing about turning your life into stories: you really have to analyze it. and while that’s helped me grow it’s getting kind of exhausting. i want to do more living and less recording, more observations and less plot development.
so i present to you the last 26 pages of this format, all wrapped up with hand-painted covers and bound with string. you can pick up a copy at my online shop or the lush comics hd iPad app (updating later today), and copies are on their way to bluestockings, quimby’s, and desert island. i’ll also be at the feminist zine fest this saturday with fresh copies, so if you see me there feel free to say hi!
thanks to everyone for reading, even if i wrote about how you were bad in bed. no hard feelings, promise.
<3kim
it feels good to be done.

YMCA concept ad, ink and adobe photoshop.
i’m taking an advertising design class this semester, and while advertising isn’t really my jam (and the teacher is sort of insane) i’m making the most of it. for this project we took existing headlines and created new visuals.

hey dudes, after having some deep business talks with kevin (unofficial consultant to kim gee studio) i’ve made some changes to the shop. old issues of kim gee comics are now just $3! to celebrate the price reduction i’m offering free shipping if you use the promo code THREEBUCKS when you order, so get yourself an early v-day present :D
you’ll also see options for custom comics, i had a lot of fun with my valentines day commissions and i’m looking to do more custom comics for any occasion. and longer stuff is good too! email me at kimgee@kimgeeillustration.com and we’ll talk.

this is what happens when the people you work with find out you’re going to school for graphic design. i don’t expect this to make sense to anyone else, but it makes my co-workers laugh.

hello dear readers, did you know that valentine’s day is only a month away? do you need gift ideas? while a single orchid is always lovely, everyone loves a gift that doesn’t wilt in a couple of days (can you tell i’ve gotten cynical?).
shoot me an email at kimgee@kimgeeillustration.com if you’d like a custom comic for yourself or your sweetheart, and take a look at some past commissions if you please.
<3kim
while i’m currently in that stage in my life where the sound of people kissing makes me want to vomit, i still love drawing about relationships. custom comics for all!
