THE FACE BEHIND THE TICTAC
I'm Talia, an art college student earning my BFA in sequential art. I am a story teller, character designer, and I work in all parts of the comic process (though I especially love to color). I aspire to create media that my audience can get lost in while taking a break from reality.
If you're a fan of romance intermingling with thrilling genres of horror and scifi, have an interest in exploring the dark depths of one's mind, or just happen to be a general freak, welcome home!

Adult Multi-Volume Comic
Sci-fi Action Romance
Wolfe, an intergalactic bounty hunter and secret assassin, finally fails a mission when she is stopped from killing a queen by the prince, her son, Kaz'amer. Rather than being sent to death for her attempted crimes, she is given a far worse punishment: prince-sitting Kaz as he travels with her to explore space beyond his home planet.
An entertaining mix of chaotic action, humor, and the bonding of two people who could not be more different.

Adult 2 Volume Comic
Sapphic Romantic Thriller
Valeria Barkis has never been anyone's top pick. Not with lovers, or friends, or jobs, and certainly not with any casting directors. Yet she aspires to become a star, stealing the eyes of everyone. And she believes that her moving to a new college for a fresh start is a step in the right direction. Sure, Val didnt land a performance job at Zelda's Bigtop Delights. But she did meet Annabelle Lee– a woman who would change the trajectory of her life.
Under My Skin is a twisting exploration of obsession, morality, social justice, and questioning just how much you can love someone.
