All the Right Tenants
I'll post an extra update for every house we look at (1-2 pages) featuring the people to whom it is a freak paradise. I promise that it won't be Tom Cruise every time, but my spiteful nature may cause me to draw his face into the background somewhere.
Vacation (or, I Spend All My Time Drawing Comics)
Once a month, the characters will take a trip (1-4 pages) somewhere that's a really horrible vacation destination, like Angry Dentist Island or your parents' house during a power outage.
About
"He has no enemies but is intensely disliked by his friends." - Oscar Wilde
Speculative Fiction
I'm a short story author under the name Cory Skerry. You can find out more at Skerry Monsters and Super Creeps. I read submissions for the online magazine Tor.com, and i'm the Art Director for Nightmare Magazine. I sometimes volunteer with Whatcom Young Writers and occasionally sneak around behind the scenes at Shimmer Magazine.
Illustration & Comics
My favorite media are ink and spraypaint, probably because i'm addicted to comics and street art. I like art to be as tangled up with real life as possible. I like to step over it and lean against it. I like seeing the reality of our world and who we are extracted and applied to alien situations. I also like using my skills to mock and prank my friends, but surprisingly that's not usually lucrative.
Pet Owner
I'm an introvert who does a great job of faking extroversion, but it's exhausting. My animal family is the sanity to which i return after i've interacted with the world. In return, i offer them better food than i eat, toys and attention, immediate medical care when needed, and in case of emergency, panic-fueled fundraising.

"No Keys" is about four friends looking for a suitable rental and finding each prospect hilariously uninhabitable. It updates every Wednesday (and if it doesn't for some reason, i double the next update!) with somewhere between 1-4 pages, depending on how much room i need to draw all that sex and violence. Naw, it's PG13 or so. My nephews are allowed to read it, and for the record, my sisters would beat the crap out of me if it was too violent. Hopefully they won't strip if it's too sexy. Gross.
The comic is mostly funny/bizarre, but the reason behind the comic is pretty dire. Even though i have two part-time jobs, fabulous credit, and an impeccable rental history (ten years at my last place!), i don't know where i am going to live next month. Someone suggested i'd have an easier time finding a place if i "found new homes for my pets" and the authorities will never find the body.
There just aren't many affordable places willing to rent to a family of our size and type. (Which is queer polyamorous freak nerds with multiple rescued animals.) If we have to split up temporarily, we will, but i'll be saving every dime so that when we have the chance to be together again, i can handle move-in costs at an appropriate domicile (not one that is constructed entirely of broken glass, filled with wet guano, or the other fancy abodes encountered in the comic).
Even though i like wearing glitter makeup and i write stories with happy endings, i'm still typically kind of a tough-guy who doesn't like to share feels. I'd rather share jokes. So if people are willing to share money if i share my often-dark sense of humor, cool--i'll happily purvey instead of making puppy faces on Gofundme (where i like to spend money, don't get me wrong--i just feel like if i've got skills, i ought to use those first).
Finally, the same jerk landlord move that left me in this impending homelessness also affected three of my closest friends and their pets; since they're characters in the comic, i hope you won't mind if i share your patronage with them.
