Hi, my name is Rhea Ewing, and I'm a full time artist making awesome things for awesome folks like you. Thanks for making your way to my Patreon page! If my work is valuable to you, please chip in what you can to help make these projects a reality!

What I do:

FINE: a comic about gender
FINE: a comic about gender is a ~350 page graphic novel about gender identity in the Midwest. It's based off of interviews with all sorts of people from Ohio to Minnesota. In total, 56 people of various ages, races, abilities, and gender identities were interviewed. The result is a conversation about gender that spans geography, generations, and communities.

Right now the interviews and major editing is complete, and I am in the arduous process of drawing it. I've hired comic artist Sally Scott to ink some of the pages, and a portion of all my Patreon pledges get set aside to pay her for her work.

This project matters to me because, as a queer kid growing up in rural areas, it was very difficult to find information about people like me. This experience impressed upon me the importance of creating connections and hearing other people's stories.

Artwork Inspired by Nature
In addition to queer comics, I also make nature-inspired artwork using traditional and contemporary drawing and printing techniques.

I like to get lost in tiny little details.

Right now, my fine arts work is on the backburner while I focus on FINE, but your support here will be I'll still have the resources to squeeze a fun drawing in here and there.

If my work is valuable to you in any way, please consider becoming a Patron and helping me continue my work. It means the world to me.
