&nbsp;I've been writing about this character (Tessa Eisenherz) in this setting (Cygnus War / "Wings" series) since 2007. Recently, I started working on teaching myself to draw. It seemed only a natural evolution of that to try something like this.This short comic was a massive undertaking, literally 4-6 hours per page, but also a wonderful learning experience! It's only five pages in total now,

The Drifter (Tessa) By Francoslavic Banter Thrilling squadrons of fans from all over the globe since 2005, the adventures of Tessa Ellen Eisenherz provide a thrilling vision of the future and a look into what makes us human before, during and in the aftermath of an interstellar war with the Cygnan Coralate, a shadowy enemy bent on nothing less than the total and complete annihilation of

It's out! After three years of research and writing, I've finally released my 364 page book on the lost constellations of Northern Europe. The book is packed with wonderful illustrations by my amazing wife Alex Wynn-Rubsam!

As the year draws to a close, I once again find myself reflecting back on the things that I have achieved during the last twelve months. Though this year has certainly been busier and more productive than previous years, I feel like I still could have pushed myself to accomplish more. Let's take a look at what I completed during 2017. #1: Against Atlantis has been on my list of projects to

Photo by Rayne's Avante-Garde Article By E.S. Wynn I have heard (and read) the argument that transwomen are a threat to feminism. The argument is that transgender individuals who are female inside (regardless of any other aspect of their physical form) aren't really women, and that we actually weaken feminism because so many of us engage with our femininity by embracing existing feminine

I’m going to take a quick break from the dense articles this week to shine a spotlight on another great documentary series that I found very fun and informative. Starring Against Me’s Laura Jane Grace, True Trans talks about the experience of being transgender, and how different people in different walks of life cope with it, move through it and use it as a way of becoming the best versions

Photo by Rayne's Avante-Garde Article By E.S. Wynn I live a life that is pretty sheltered from judgments and hate, but it wasn't always that way. I'm grateful that I live in a liberal-leaning state in a time when being trans (especially a safe degree of trans [link]) is not such a big deal, but that wasn't always the case. I have lived in places where being white was enough to make me a

Photo and article By E.S. Wynn There are more of us than you realize. There are more queer and transgender people around you than you could ever guess. Many of us have become very good at blending in, at hiding who we really are inside. I had no idea how many people like me there were in the world until I came out and started announcing who I am, what I am, and that there's nothing wrong

Photo by Rayne's Avante-Garde Article By E.S. Wynn As far as transgender people go, I’m pretty “safe.” The “weirdest” thing about me is that I have always felt strongly female inside and I’m pretty open about it. My body is male, I dress fairly “male” almost all of the time and when I do express my feminine side through garments, the clothing I choose is typically combat boots, pants and a

Photo by Rayne's Avante-Garde Article By E.S. Wynn Why is it "weird" for a man to wear a padded bra but not weird for a woman to do so? The basic premise behind a bra as an article of clothing is that they are designed to support breast tissue. In some cases, it is absolutely true, but what about heavily padded bras? What about bras that are not so much for support as they are for emphasizing

My 70th book is out! I'm really excited about "Stealing Wings", which is the latest piece set in my long-running series "The Cygnus War." In the last ten years, I've told a lot of stories in the universe of "The Cygnus War," but this book tells the story of how it all began. Whether you're new to "The Cygnus War" or have read about every adventure Tessa Eisenherz has ever scraped her way

In my travels online, I recently discovered a very interesting four-part documentary called Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Veterans Throughout American History. I found it really interesting to discover just how many transgender and gender non-conforming individuals have served with distinction in the armed forces in the US alone.
