Gamer Girl & Vixen Artist Spotlight: Jesse Lundberg
The Gamer Girl & Vixen Kickstarter is still going strong, and we’re only a few backers away from hitting our first stretch goal! At that point, we will guarantee the inclusion of a series of mini-comics we commissioned from some artist friends of ours, which I’ve been sharing for weeks now on this blog. And to help bolster these artists, I’m doing a series of quick “Meet the Artist” posts.
Next up is Jesse Lundberg.
Q. What led you to becoming an artist?
A. As a kindergartner, when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, my answer was an illustrator. So I guess I’m just living out my childhood dream.
Q. What do you see as your strengths as an artist?
A. Being able to work in multiple styles. I can draw cartoons and realistic likenesses, switching from one to the other fairly easily.
Q. What are your future goals as an artist?
A. More cover work and a future all ages book I am working on currently. Maybe revisiting my IP Harold.
Jesse did the artwork and lettering on two of the short comics: Punch Challenge and Dual Wielding. He also designed the new character Super Guard, who appears in the second comic.
Tune in next week for a couple more artist profiles!

Gamer Girl & Vixen Artist Spotlight: Luke Beatrice
As you are hopefully no doubt aware, my Gamer Girl & Vixen Kickstarter campaign is going strong! We’ve already hit our goal and will be making a new comic this year. We’re now working on our first stretch goal, in which we’ll include all of the GG&V mini-comics into the graphic novel, I’ve been posting every Friday for the past few weeks. And to help facilitate that, I’ve done some little interviews with the guest artists! That I’m going to share here!
First up is artist Luke Beatrice. Find more of his art at that link.
Q. What led you to becoming an artist?
A. I just wanted all the crazy things I saw in my head to be real! I started drawing when I was 9 or so and my first fanart was for Batman: The Animated Series.
Q. What do you see as your strengths as an artist?
A. I’ve been told that color and expressions (both facial and body language) are my strengths.
Q. What are your future goals as an artist?
A. I’m an animator by trade, so I’d like to do more personal animated shorts about LGBTQ+ peeps!
Luke did the artwork and lettering for two of the short comics: Quizzy Bee and Walk of Pride, which you can read below!
And there will be plenty of more work from Luke coming in the future! Can’t reveal it all yet, but it’s gonna be pretty awesome in the year ahead!

Gamer Girl & Vixen in Nothing At All
Good news, everybody! My Gamer Girl & Vixen Kickstarter hit its funding goal this morning! We’re fully funded and are definitely going to make the comic this year! I’m quite thrilled. The campaign is still ongoing and will be for another two weeks, so you can all go pre-order your copy still if you haven’t already!
Now that we’ve hit our goal, we’ll be working towards hitting our first stretch goal, which will involve putting all of the free webcomics into the actual physical comic. I’ve been posting them every Friday for the past few weeks, and here’s the last one, by artist Jo Christian.
Read the comic at Global Comix.
I had a lot of fun writing this one. I had a lot of fun writing all of these mini-comics with my partner, Kristi McDowell. And we’re always having fun making these comics! So you best believe there will be more Gamer Girl & Vixen in the future!

Gamer Girl & Vixen in ‘Dual Wielding’
It’s Friday, which means I’ve got another Gamer Girl & Vixen mini-comic to share! These were all super fun to make, and we’ll have one more to show off next Friday. This one is ‘Dual Wielding’ with art by Jesse Lundberg. And it features the introduction of Super Guard!
Click this link to go read the comic! Or click this panel to read the full thing.
Meanwhile, the Gamer Girl & Vixen Kickstarter is doing gangbusters! We’re already over 80% funded in the first week, and we’re less than $1,000 from hitting our goal. This is magnitudes better than we did in any previous campaign! So thank you all very much for your support, and if you haven’t ordered a copy of the book yet, head on over and sign up! I’m for sure making comics, everybody!

My 6 All-Time Favorite Relationships in Superhero Comics
It’s Valentine’s Day and love is in the air! Or some such stuff. It’s not often my Lists of Six actually land on a holiday, so I figured I might as well do something special to mark the occasion! I love a good romance subplot in my superhero comics as much as I enjoy the superheroics. Heck, I’m even writing my own romance comic in Gamer Girl & Vixen — now on Kickstarter!
Forgive me for the plug, but Valentine’s Day is the perfect place to promote the Gamer Girl & Vixen Kickstarter currently raising money! It’s a story of love, lesbians and larceny, so come on down! And GG&V are just one of my favorite relationships in comics. From classic love stories to niche romances that maybe only I enjoyed, I’ve got this list of my all-time favorite comic book ‘ships.
Join me after the jump for a comic book love connection! And feel free to share your own ‘ships in the comments below!
