Introducing me and this blog
Hello and welcome to Trix Comix.
I’m Tricia but most people call me Trix. I go under the name Trix Joyce online, especially on YouTube. In 2016 I started to learn to draw digitally on the iPad and now I post comics semi-regularly. I have a few web comics, my most personal one is called “Hey Trix” and is a slice of life comic about living with trauma and (complex) PTSD, LGBTQ+ topics, a witchy life, living with disabilities and so on.
I also have my oldest comic named “Trixie and Truls” which I came up with when being long-term in a psych ward and was bored. It kinda saved me. It’s about a young teenager, Trixie, living alone on her uncle’s minor together with her friend, a black, big, talking cat (that is very grumpy but loves herring!) named Truls. They also adopt a little girl named Trolla, who’s from another planet.
My last comic is “Koffein är Terapin” which is my only comic in my native language. The ones above are in English but “Koffein är Terapin” is in Swedish. This comic is about the psychiatry and mental health facilities in Sweden and a humorous critique on them and bad health care providers. But it’s also a cute comic where I try to be relatable, telling about my view on mental health, maybe in a little bit of a dark and sarcastic way.
So what’s this blog about?
I wanted a separate blog that is entirely my own, where I post my comics as well as posting them on Global Comix and other comic sites. I wanted a real home for them that I can control more and make my own! I chose BearBlog because I really fell in love with the simplicity but also that you are able to code things in your own way if you want that option. I’m in the middle. I like the clear interface but I do customize certain things. I don’t know, but I love this platform.
So the goal is to publish my comics here under my own domain but also on the regular comic sites (Global Comix etc).
So yes! This is my very first post on this blog! Welcome, and I see you in my next post!
