This is the best way I've found for me to continue Birdstrips: for a monthly membership, you get a monthly illustrated story straight to your email inbox.

As usual, I'm write about my life in terms of birds: things that happen to me, chickens and the rise and fall of the rooster, and self discovery. It's been called "the spiritual successor" of Birdstrips and I think that's apt: I've found there's more depth and potential in writing and illustrating in a longer form.

Here are some snapshots from a few of my favourite pieces.

Dreaming of a bird feeder, which turns out to attract a strange visitor.

A three part image: a snow covered tree on the left, Jess wistfully looking at the tree in the middle, and on the right side, a flock of 5 chickadees. She is dreaming of a bird feeder.

Chickens (like unfinished projects) taking everything you have.

Chickens gather around a person who is laying on the ground. All you can see of the person is their legs and feet.

The recent heat wave as a distraction from my usual problems.

Rooster: fearless and unflinching protector, or Big Idiot? Depends who you ask.

"If I want a bigger, more expansive life, I have to let more of myself in."

I'm really proud of what I've made so far, and there's a couple years worth of content to catch up on if you've never seen it before.
