I always forget that contour drawing is, like, actually a good warm up.

I’m sorry for ever complaining about your Drawing I and Drawing II classes, Ms. Miller.

Sooo... I was gonna do some Valentine’s art to sell, but of course I didn’t get it done in time for anyone to actually order it in time for Valentine’s day.

are you ever gonna do more rj hill🥺 it really really changed things for me and id love to buy a compendium or something. i got the two comics digitally already and i am YEARNING for more :(

I’m so glad you like the comics and thank you for buying the digital copies!

I don’t have any ideas for more comics involving Bart, Chris, and Bobby. I do have an idea and some thumbnail sketches for a comic that takes place in the same “universe,” I guess? But it’s not high on my list of personal projects at the moment.

I’m working on drawings for several zines that I hope to get riosgraph printed. I thought a neat way to get some interest for these future projects would be to show my work.

Watch me draw and listen to me ramble!

The face I’m drawing comes from a photo in “Artist’s Models 8: Practical Poses for the Working Artist.”

...aaaand here’s what I’m aiming for the final pieces to look like.

Also, I should have more copies of my “R. J. Hill: Therapist” comic for sale later in the week.

One of my grad classes on Thursday requires a creative piece in response to a reading assignment and I just painted this thing fast as dicks. Three hours!

Hey I just wanted to tell you that that Bart Chris Bobby counseling cartoon made my day as well as a buddy of mine. Just wanted to thank you

Thank you for messaging me!

No question, I just wanted to say that your strip "Clients’ names and personal information have been omitted to retain their privacy" was the coolest thing I've seen in a long, long time.  Really amazing!

Thank you!

Will you be making any more comics about Bart and Chris, perhaps going to more therapy sessions or digging a little deeper into their personal lives together?

I might? But probably not for awhile. I’ve drawn and posted everything that I’d already planned. I have several other art projects that I’m working on and my next quarter of grad school starts in a couple of days, so I’ll be very busy.

wow, the second half of the comic is just as incredible! the poly ending is so nice and feelgood, and the therapy setting is so cathartic I just. it's so good. thank you.

Aw, thank you! As much as I like dark, brooding, morally ambiguous movies, books, and comics, I’m still a sucker for happy endings. Especially for queer characters. And I feel like Bobby is the kind of person that could balance poly relationships pretty well.

i mean i love everything about your therapy comics but can i mention how much i love that joseph has an alien tattoo on his shoulder? that's my favorite part honestly

:D glad you like it! at first I just thought it would be cool, but then I was like “wow that’s actually really symbolic of joseph’s ethnic heritage and the bio father vs lived father conflict” and took it super seriously

hey can i ask you something? years ago i remember seeing a blog with a queer transgender man persona/self insert who wore a mask and i was deeply in love with that blog. was that you? i'm sorry if this is a weird or insulting question, its just your art styles seem very similar and this question was killing me

ahhh, yeeeah, that was me. I had some family find my art blog and so I took down all my personal comics. I may repost them at some point because it’s like, those family members have already seen them and I know they still check this blog, so cat’s already out of the bag or whatever. I didn’t want to change my blog name or my pen name because changing that 50 million time makes it kind of hard to develop a “brand” or reputation as an artist. glad you liked those comics tho.

Thank you to all the awesome people who came by my table at Short Run and to the mega sweeties who gifted or traded their work.
