Hey everyone!
I'll be doing a comics and collectibles show in Knoxville, Tennessee on Saturday, 5 November. It's at the Days Inn on Merchants Drive. Here's the address if you're in the area and need directions:
5335 Central Ave. Pike
Knoxville, TN 37912
The show will be from 10 AM to 4 PM, so come by and see me! I'll also have my exciting 'impurity bracelets' for $1 each...although if you mention that you're a fan of Incubus Tales or Lamia, I might just toss you one for free. And of course you get one free with every purchase!
I will also be running a second table called Utakata Books, which will sell very inexpensive copies of assorted Japanese-language manga, including Nakayoshi, Trigun, Dragon Ball, and more! Stop by!
I hope to see you there!

Incutales Special!
Everyone! Incutales Special will be starting on 9 October, this Sunday! Be sure to stop by. I've made this special promotional image just for you, in the style of my favourite classic books from my younger days. I hope you like it!
Incutales Special will feature mainly short and self-contained episodes, only a few pages at most, but typically single-page and able to be enjoyed by themselves. Incutales Special will appear every Sunday! It will show the breadth and variety of the Incuverse, the omniverse in which Incubus Tales takes place.
Incubus Tales, the original comic, chronicles the satirical and sexy adventures of Dhiar, an Incubus who owns a shop called Phantasies. It is located at http://www.incubustales.com and updates Tuesday and Friday weekly.

June Commission Special!
As summer begins, I am still catching up on my rest from all my travel this past month. I'm not that fond of summer altogether, because I can't stand heat.
But my complaints about the heat pale in comparison to my dear friend Hawkye's pain.
Right now, he is suffering from an oral infection that will kill him if it is not treated. He is looking into treatment options, but like many people in this country, he cannot afford insurance, so his options are severely limited.
He has always been a supporter of my work, and always a regular reader of and commenter on Incubus Tales, and so for this month, I decided to do a special!
Any sexy commission order will receive a discount! And what's great is, even if you just get a sexy sketch along with a more involved, formal commission, you get a discount on the whole order. It doesn't have to be outrageous, just...sexy!
My rates start at around $10-15 for the least and quickest thing I can do, which is still lots of fun. Think of it...one less game on Steam, one single time eating out...and someone who needs help will get it. Because I am donating as much of my profits as I can to Hawkye, so that he can have help with his dental issues.
I don't want to lose one of my dearest friends. I love him like a brother. Please help me with this. I'm not asking for handouts, though I always appreciate donations and tips.
But I am suggesting, why not heat up the summer early? Let's do some sexy art! Of course I am also available for non-sexy commissions too, don't worry!
You can contact me at hushicho@gmail.com or send me a message through tumblr. I'm very fast, very professional, and you've seen my quality if you're a regular reader of my tumblr or of Incubus Tales.
I'm happy to provide references and pleased clients if you need any such thing. Just let me know.

Outlantacon!
I’ll be appearing at Outlantacon on 13-15 May. Come see me!
I’ll have books and posters with me, including the fabulous new The Incubus, the omnibus edition first volume of Incubus Tales!
If you’re going to come, though, please don’t fly. Don’t fly to the United States, don’t fly from the United States, don’t fly with a stop in the United States. I will not have my friends, fans, and readers raped and molested by creeps and scum such as are currently employed in US airports and defying our fundamental rights every day.
You can still order my work online, and I’m happy to communicate with all of you through the wonderful medium of the internet! I might be fun to hang out with in person, but no-one is fun enough to justify the degradation currently perpetrated upon people in US airports.
I hope to see some of you at Outlantacon, though! It’ll be a great GLBT-oriented show, and there will be a lot of fun to be had! It’s also in Atlanta, so there’s plenty to do even when you’re not at the show! I intend to party hard!
See you there! I’ll be in the dealers’ room!

Haters Gonna Hate
I don’t want to get very political, but I have something to say regarding the recent controversy over attempting to extend the so-called ‘Defence of Marriage Act’.
Basically this is an act of war. It’s a war declared on citizens who depend on these people for government and protection, for rights afforded to arbitrarily-chosen other citizens, but not them. It is an act of discrimination. It is an act of evil.
Does that sound too extreme? Maybe it does. But have you ever lived somewhere you were regarded as less than human? If not, try it sometime and see how you like it.
Spoiler: you won’t.
To all of you politicians trying to defend it, trying to extend and promote it:
You are no representative of the people. You are distracting from the real issues and solving no problems. In this time of economic crisis, you are doing nothing to remedy the problems and, instead, are focussing your efforts on denying American citizens rights.
That’s what this is all about: denying Americans rights and freedoms that are afforded to other Americans. It is an inalienable right that all are created equal under the law. That isn’t something you can just cherry-pick out of the history of this country. Admittedly, the United States has had plenty of time to be unfair to social groups. It’s called bigotry, and it’s ugly no matter who is the target.
It also doesn’t belong in politics. Especially when politics are being mixed with religion, which seems to happen far too often these days. Church and State are legally separated in the US.
To you politicians attempting to keep things unequal, to waste our time and money with furthering inequality for citizens who pay your exorbitant salary, I have this to say: you will be defeated. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, maybe not the next election, but you will lose your jobs. It won’t be a costumed hero who punches you out, even though you’re an over-the-top villain who is difficult to take seriously. It will be the ballot. The voice of the American people who, last I checked, were all entitled to representation and basic rights…not just the rich, or the light of skin, or the heterosexual.
You will be remembered in history as relics, frauds, and charlatans, obsolete and outdated, tools of hate and tools of bigotry and intolerance. People will look back, in history classes, and wonder how it could be possible for some people to hate other people so much, and for something so ridiculous. And they will laugh at you. Some of them will hate you. And that is how you will live in history, if anyone even remembers your name.
You are not martyrs, or heroes, or champions of any people. You are just sad individuals who prosper from the suffering of others. And you do so out of fear. And you should be afraid, because time marches on and waits for no man. Time marches on, societies and cultures evolve and mature, and people move past their differences because they have to, in order to prosper.
Non-heterosexuals have had extensive rights in many societies long before the United States, and they will continue to have them long after. It’s not even a matter of stepping into the twenty-first century. It’s a matter of stepping into the real world and seeing the real people around you, not some sort of twisted caricature of humanity that merely echoes your own intolerance. Ancient Egypt had prominent status for gay couples. Even the Norse, widely thought to be the epitome of masculinity, also did the same. The Celts were, likewise, what would be thought today to be ‘progressive’ in their lifestyles. Because you know what?
A person’s sexuality doesn’t have any bearing on whether they can contribute to society. If they could see this thousands of years ago, why is that so difficult to see to people now? We have the internet, for god’s sake. You can learn anything you want to with five seconds of typing and a click.
To the citizens who are so sadly deluded as to think that this act is worth defending: you are ignorant. You are misguided. It will not impact your life even slightly if you don’t personally know anyone who is not heterosexual. And if you do, it’s not your life to begin with. It’s not your choice to make, who someone else marries. And if it bothers you that much to see your acquaintances being able to be joined in a union, if you are convinced that it will affect your life and your relationship that much, then I think it’s time you look at this life and this relationship and understand that something is wrong.
Time to be an adult and face the fact that if there is a problem with your relationship, it isn’t because of someone else’s relationship. However much you might like this to be true, it isn’t; if there is a problem in a relationship between two people, the problem lies with them, not with two people who aren’t in a relationship with them.
At least fifty per cent of all marriages end in divorce. And this is heterosexual marriage I’m talking about, heterosexual unions recognised under the law. There are ‘reality’ shows and contests to marry people. Las Vegas has drive-through chapels where people can get married, with no fuss and no reverence whatsoever.
Taking a step towards equality by getting rid of an act that should never have been passed in the first place is not going to harm marriage.
I would say that the statistics fairly clearly show that the largest harm to marriage has been done. The sanctity of this union has long been absent. There is no need to defend it.
There are people I know who have been together for decades, heterosexual couples. It can work. But you know…the overwhelming majority clearly cannot handle marriage. Why are they still allowed it?
To them, it is something they take for granted. To non-heterosexuals, it is almost a luxury. It is something some people would give everything they have, to be able to do. And people have cheapened it, made it worthless, so that it has become a cheap trinket to auction off on a game show.
Why are we wasting time with this act? Why are we wasting money defending this act? Why is attention being taken from examining the economic problems of the country, and the world, and perhaps putting some of the corporate ‘masters’ in their places, taking away their monopolies and their other evil little toys, and actually fixing things for the people who are suffering, while politicians sit in their mansions, well-paid and supplemented by the people who hire them out like hookers.
There are more problems in the world than we could ever hope to solve. However, trying to deny citizens the rights they deserve and promoting laws that deny people rights they would otherwise have is not helping anyone. It isn’t solving any problems. It isn’t protecting anything. It isn’t helping marriage, it isn’t helping the economy, and most of all, it isn’t doing jack squat for America.
So I guess I just want to say…fuck DOMA. And fuck the idiots who think it’s a good thing. Fuck the people who made it happen, and fuck the ones who want it to keep going.
And if you think that’s too harsh language, you haven’t lived as less than human. What I’ve said was mild and gentle. And it was moreso than this joke of legislative idiocy deserves.
