  I’m Aria! I make comics and use a lot of exclamation points. I’m usually very excited about one thing or another, but Kidd Commander is always at the top of the list. I have a lot of fun making my comic and I hope you have a lot of fun reading it!
 
 

I don’t think it’s necessary for artists to divulge personal details about themselves to be allowed to write about things, but I like to be vocal about my adjectives because while representation in media is important it’s nice to see real humans you can relate to out there doing things too. I’m queer (any pronouns are fine, pansexual and agender) and pretty severely Obsessive Compulsive and Borderline in direct response to a cultish Pentecostal upbringing. If you think something in the comic resembles any of those things, it was probably intentional!
 

I graduated from a useless university you’ve never heard of in May 2015 with a bachelor’s degree in English. My educated advice is to not waste your time and money on college and to make comics instead. I made the comic out of the backwaters of Tennessee for the first ten years, but these days I’m in Fort Collins, Colorado, so if you’d like to see KC stuff on some local store shelves please encourage the shop owners to get in touch with me! I’d also love to table at your con or art event if you’re looking for local artists. That goes for my partner too, a toymaker whose work you can find at Tinkertack Labs!
 

The best way to get hold of me is to email me at “kiddcommander@gmail.com”; if you need me for anything, professional or otherwise, this is the address you want! Additionally, you can send things to either my tumblr or my Mastodon account. I check them every day and will try to get back to you as soon as I can.

If you’d like to send me something in the mail, the address is:

PO Box 273106
Fort Collins, CO
80527

I don’t check it regularly, so please let me know if I should expect something!
