Tumblr
"How did adapting that god story go? Did you reach out to the original author to collaborate or did they just pass you the keys to go ham?" (more…)
Tumblr
"I just requested the first part of your graphic novel from my library! I've discovered their app that had a request function that makes it so easy to request books. I can't afford every book I want, using the library is better anyway! I look forward to (probably) reading my libraries copy! : )" (more…)
Tumblr
"What about a mini-comic about Alexander and Diogenes in your style ("stop blocking my sunlight" story)?" (more…)
Tumblr
"I bought your book and finished reading The Carpet Merchant and I WEEP, there's such rawness in your comic that it really hits deeper than any comic I've ever read in my life- so thank you for the wonderful experience! I LOVE how gorgeous it is and how the storytelling format differs from mainstream, it's so fresh and inspiring. I look forward to buy the second volume in the future! Take care!" (more…)
Tumblr
"First off, Congrats on the comic launch!! Second, I’m curious to see what role The Servant is going to play in the comic. From what I remember, he was supposed to be the story’s narrator, right?" (more…)
Tumblr
"Hey so I'm writing this fanfic and the OC I created for it is Malaysian (one of her dads is a first gen immigrant, the other is Caucasian and American born and raised). I saw your post, I loved it, and I've been thinking heavily on how I wanna write her being bilingual. As someone who's first language is English, do you find it easier to understand Malaysian when its spoken rather than speaking it? I wanna do this properly as someone who is not Malaysian but wants to give proper representation." (more…)
Tumblr
"Hi! I was wondering, how do you draw your speech bubbles? I've been having some trouble haha. The outlines tend to become shaky for me, so I've been wanting to know your method." (more…)
Tumblr
"hi I’m an aspiring Artist and writer and I’m planning to make my own graphic novel but I find it hard to stay motivated. what did you do to stay motivated when writing your book séance tea party?" (more…)
Tumblr
"I don’t know why, but the blending of myth and history in your Alexander comic makes me think of the Malay Annals for some reason!" (more…)
Tumblr
"Hi! I have a big question. What are things that you need to consider when you want your webcomic to be printed into a bound book? I'm planning on making my first webcomic and I'm open for the potential for it to be published, but I don't want to run into too much technical troubles (eg. images aren't in right resolution). This is probably a broad question, but your advice would be really helpful." (more…)
Tumblr
"Hope this isn't too personal a question, but what was it like when you first started your (Tumblr) blog? Did your blog have a set focus/theme or was it scattered?" (more…)
Tumblr
"Hi Reimena, I was wondering how you balance research with making comics. Do you ever have to stop making comics, to do more research? How do you know when you have enough? I worry about getting lost in research, instead of producing work. I appreciate any answer you can give, thank you. 🙂" (more…)
Tumblr
"Dang, your characters for the Alexander comic are lucky to have you as their stylist! I love all the colorful outfit designs!" (more…)
Tumblr
"Can I say what I mostly think of in your writing is the love? Not just between characters, but as a felt thing in the world of your stories-- that they're living places and kind places with room for hope and growth, always, down to the stones of the street, even when awful things happen. You make very good worlds to be in!" (more…)
Tumblr
"I really appreciate all your thoughts on comic composition. I've learned so much, and it's opened up this whole new dimension for appreciating comics; I've always loved reading comics, but you've made the experience all the richer! Anyway, I'm really looking forward to your Alexander book, and I hope you're doing well in these unusual times!" (more…)
Tumblr
Several questions from the crowd while I wait for my birthday to come. On favourite books, movies, comics, music; on freelance. (more…)

She writes and illustrates quite a few webcomics and graphic novels. When not making books, she lulls away her time with essays on craft, life and experiences in the publishing industry. Some of her thoughts of art and life are rather unstructured and will evolve over time as this blog matures, as they should be.

Currently committed to being Alexander the Great's death doula. Is a nerd for all things spooky and historical.
