Hi new people, I'm Jon. My portfolio sites have gone to seed while I've been hacking my way through the drawing phase of a graphic novel, so I thought I'd collect some highlights of my comics work in one place.

I'm currently drawing a slice of life gay erotica graphic novel. It's about boys, anxiety, baking, science fiction, and what it's like to observe but not participate. Since it's not announced yet, it goes by the codename "Ferrochrome".

I post a lot of progress shots and pages on my Patreon, so you can watch it develop if you'd like! https://www.patreon.com/JonCairns 

I'm also currently breaking/writing an unnamed action short about these guys: https://twitter.com/JonCairns/status/1276669938393104387?s=20

I maintain Chest Pelt, an online sketch zine that largely focus on body hair: http://chestpelt.com  @ChestPelt

It's part of a broader project called Terminal Hair that collects sketches, books, pins and other hunky things.

I also recently designed and produced an ogre enamel pin. I think it's pretty cute.
I had a lot of fun designing its elaborate packaging. https://twitter.com/JonCairns/status/1275153342587600896

Below are some of completed comics that you can read in their entirety (and where to find them)!

Asterion- a queer Minoan horror short for Theater of Terror: Revenge of the Queers, edited by @WilliamOTyler & @justincomics, published by @northwestpress.
Digital copies here: https://northwestpress.com/shop/theater-of-terror-revenge-of-the-queers/

(If you'd like a physical copy, DM me--I still a few left!)

Love Triangulation- a 20 page short written/colored/lettered by the exceptional @bluedelliquanti for @ironcircuscomix's Smut Peddler: Sex Machine. If you like your erotica very gay, and very science fiction, this is for you.

Paleolithic- a Terminal Hair erotic short about a Neanderthal and an Early Modern Human leaving their tent after a long winter. Check @ChestPelt for a link to where you can read the short. The print version is currently very sold out ().

O-Type Hypergiant- a 20 page hard(ish) science fiction story about artificial humans cataloging stars that was in the original Beyond Anthology, available digitally at http://beyond-press.com/  or physically through my UK webstore: https://joncairns.ecwid.com 

Downpour- An erotic tale of a hiking date ruined by bad weather that I wrote and drew for @slipshinestudio that was inked, colored and lettered beautifully by the incredible @ButtOven! You can read it in their extensive archives.

And now some comics that, sadly, remain unfinished and I hope to have the bandwidth to return to one day.

Alpha Flag- The webcomic I started nearly a decade ago (feeling old yet?) with @emoxic on colors. A story about a man hunting missing aspects of his mind that have entered the world as animals, objects and people. Read it all up to the hiatus at: http://alpha-flag.com 

Poison Pen Letter- a comic drawn in alternating turns with the inimitable @squidbunny. A comics game we play over the course of years. A story about a clueless knight and his mysterious companion? Maybe? Who knows: http://poisonpenletter.com 

Untitled SF- a series of spontaneous science fiction shorts that have become way too big in my brain for the pencil sketch zines they originated as. Mars, terraforming, and interconnected relationships. You can read the *old* zines here: http://joncairns.net/Comics/SF.html 

And Cyborg Daddy. One day he'll get a zine or a book or something. The next graphic novel I draw is absolutely going to be pure science fiction if I can find someone interested in publishing it.

Thanks for looking, and I hope there's something in there you'd like to read! I rotate what books I have in stock in my store, so if you'd like to read one of them in your hands, check there: https://joncairns.ecwid.com
