Iris Jay // Distressed Egg

Hi, I'm <a href="https://irisjay.net" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Iris Jay </a>(she/xer)! I'm a professional cartoonist with over 20 years of experience drawing comics and putting them online, under my own name as well as my furry "nom de yiff" <a href="https://distressedegg.fun" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Distressed Egg</a>. You might know me from my webcomic series CROSSED WIRES and THE SCANDALOUS SYBIL THROAT, my editing work on Fortuna Media's BOOK OF SHADOWS artbook series, or the serialized graphic novel WEDLOCKED that I co-create with my partner Nero Villagallos O'Reilly for the adult comics paysite <a href="https://slipshine.com" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Slipshine</a>. My work uses genre fiction as a framework for stories about the postmodern queer experience-- navigating the itchy intersections between identity, community, and the dystopia in which we're all trying to survive. The stories I write contain mature themes, and generally aren't for younger readers. Also, a lot of the stories I write contain erotic themes, and definitely aren't for readers under 18. Put the kids to bed, we're here to party! Unfortunately, it's not so easy to make a living as an independent queer erotic comics creator right now, BUT this page is one way you can help. By subscribing to this blog, you can read comic pages from my ongoing series as I finish them, weeks or even months before they're released to the public. You can read hi-res versions of my comics and art, including process materials like scripts, sketches, and videos. You can even get a sketch from me every month, or get a cameo appearance of your own character in one of my comics! It's a cool way to keep up with all the stuff I do, and it allows me to keep making the weird, outrageous, sexy and sincere comics I want to see in the world, with zero corporate oversight.Even small pledges are a big help, so please consider subscribing! Sign up today and let me into your brain so I can muck around with it a bit. I promise I'll be gentle~!
