It’s time to touch grass, take a breath, and appreciate the scenery with LGC’s latest zine, Roots: This Land is Your Land!
What do you love about your local wildlife? How do we preserve our pale blue dot? How can we better live in harmony in nature? What’s the truth of this land, its history, and its future? For this zine, we’re looking for written and illustrative works that focus on the exploration of wildlife and natural landscapes.

Last but certainly not least, @tjsart7 ‘s comic inks conclude our Reach for the Stars previews!
“In my comic “Many of Moons in the Sky” a Jester becomes madly obsessed with a Moon that is destined to wane out of existence. Although taking place in an alien world, this story is meant to reflect the human experience of chasing your desires, reaching for the stars, and then realizing that the thing you thought you wanted doesn’t exist...at least not the way you thought it would. I hope you enjoy reading (:+} Also, special thanks to Ava and Miriam, my editors at Level Ground for all your help with this!”

BOOM! POW! CRACK! A little space action goes a long way in @willross.art ‘s Reach for the Stars comic!
“I love bringing a sense of dynamism to practically every project I can, and when I was introduced to the “Reach for the Stars” prompt, I got incredibly inspired as to how I could incorporate the theme with my dynamic style. I also love the idea of being a part of an anthology, and I knew that I wanted to demonstrate some of my best work alongside my talented peers, where I knew we would each bring something else to the project.”
-Will Ross (@willross.art )
We’re approaching our star-ry finale! Check back in tomorrow for our final RFTS preview.

Are we rockin’ with these space rocks or what?! @inquepot shows off the beauty of sci-fi in his Reach for the Stars comic 💫
“Sci-fi is so much fun, getting to draw weird alien environments is the dream man. Big weird-lookin’ mountains, seven moons, alien creatures, all of it. I really got to explore the genre visually with this and it was very rewarding.”
-Nathan Tada (@inquepot )
We’ll see you next week with our last remaining previews!

Welcome back to another WIP Wednesday: Reach for the Stars edition! Today @willowdeus touches on the expansive nature of space and what that brings out in his story.
“Space has always drawn out the dreamer in me. Somewhere, a billion light years away, there are stars being made and universes collapsing that humans were never meant to see, and yet we do. Working on RFTS has allowed me to capture these feelings and condense them all into a story about a tiny space probe in a vast universe.”
-Will Upham (@willowdeus )
Only a few previews left to go! We have more on the way…

This cute little star paves her way through the universe in @br00sk_doodles ‘s Reach for the Stars comic!
“Do shooting stars get just as lost as we do? Reach for the Stars has given me an opportunity to do what many other up-and-coming artists aspire towards, the chance to leave our mark. However, it’s hard to plant a legacy when finding our voice is the first daunting step. Read along and relate to lost little star as she fights this familiar struggle to find her passion and place in the universe.”
-Brenna Rusk (@br00sk_doodles )
Don’t space out just yet, we have more previews landing later this week! Stay tuned!

These astronauts have no time for monkeying around in @shammanist ‘s Reach for the Stars comic inks!
“Reaching the stars is great and all, but what happens afterwards? There is an often undisclosed threat that comes with climbing to the top, and I wanted to explore these often unexpected feelings. Plus, space travel and monkeys just go together like peanut butter and jelly!”
-Alex Shammas (@shammanist )
See you next week for more RFTS previews!
