Hi there,
I’m Sow Ay, a French illustrator and here are some comics about transidentity.
I’ve always been drawing about real life (like on this article I made some years ago about mental illness : https://www.boredpanda.com/anxiety-depression-illustrations-comics-sow-ay/) so it felt natural to talk about what life as a trans guy is. But this time, it feels way harder than to share my comics about depression. So I'm really anxious about sharing it in here.
Seeing trans people sharing their journey helped me a lot, so I think about the younger me when I share these comics. I lived in denial and avoided everything trans related because that made me question too much, and I refused to accept being trans. Until after 25 years old. I wish I accepted this younger and didn’t spend all that time fighting myself.
For these, I wanted to keep a very minimalist style that stays close to what they look like in my sketchbook. Everything is handmade. I’d love to release a book called T̶o̶m̶boy that would look like a sort of diary with these comics. Maybe someday...
