BOUNDARIES

☀︎ ༺ 𓃗 ༻ ☀︎Thank you for reading! I just wanted to take a moment to explain why I've set these firm boundaries around certain themes within my comic, and the community that I've created. I hope this clarifies where I'm coming from.This is my story, and I have the right to place boundaries for my story and community.
I care about the characters and world I've created. I want to make sure the topics (especially the sensitive ones), are handled with respect and care; for myself as a creator and for anyone else who might be affected by the content.
I am a survivor of abuse and this is personal for me.
Because of my experiences, I have a responsibility to myself and others to prevent the romanticizing or fetishizing of abuse, grooming, and incest, within my works and community. These topics are not just "fictional tropes," to me. They represent something very real that I have gone through.
Setting boundaries is not about censorship or silencing anyone else's creativity.
I can't stop you from exploring any theme you want within your OWN work or communities. I'm just asking that if you want to engage with my work, you respect me and the limits I've put in place. It's about consent and creating a safe space here.
I want my story and characters to be treated with care. Not as playgrounds for harmful fantasies.
When people treat trauma like "sexy drama", it can be deeply hurtful to both me and others who may have suffered. That's why I don't tolerate it here.
If you don't agree with these boundaries, this may not be the right comic or community for you.
I encourage you to simply avoid interacting with my work so we can all have respectful experiences in our own spaces.
I appreciate those who engage with my art thoughtfully and respectfully. Thank you for understanding!

Howdy! My name is Murray, and I am a self-taught artist. I have been drawing since I could pick up a pencil, as my first drawing was Mike Wazouski. I've been serious about art for about 10 years, working tirelessly improving my character designs, comic paneling, color theory, and just about anything else I could get my hands on. I do freelance commissions and character design as a hobby!
☀︎ ☀︎ ☀︎
I am the author and artist behind the western thriller comic Bag of Nails! The idea of it came to me through a literal dream, and it evolved from there. I have been infatuated with the wild west ever since I was little, when I would be babysat by my grandfather. He would put spaghetti westerns on the box TV, and he'd fall asleep in the recliner behind me. That's a very fond memory I have.
Bag of Nails is a Western-themed comic set within the Victorian Era that features a diverse cast of characters with distinct personalities and backgrounds. Follow along for tales of mystery, dread, despair, and the consequences of secrets that go to the grave.
☀︎ ☀︎ ☀︎
I have a tuxedo cat named Mipha (who is my ESA!), and two horses named Ronan and Jewel. I am currently a pre-veterinary senior in college, majoring in biology and minoring in chemistry. I am planning on pursuing a DVM and specializing in large animals to assist impoverished farming communities.
