about house of lief
If you like my work, feel free to drop a few dollars in my tip jar.
House of Lief is a project I started in 2021 as a way to share my creative writing. Since then I have chosen to merge my visual art into this site as well, to avoid maintaining a separate portfolio website. You can come here to find comics, fiction, poetry, and excerpts from my sketchbook. I also periodically maintain my blog.
While I am active on some social media platforms under the name houseoflief, this site is the best place to find complete creative works. I have an email newsletter on the roadmap to share updates with interested parties, but feel free to follow me on social media as well where I will usually post links to new content on the site.
about the artist
I'm Lief, the webmaster and artist behind house of lief. My day job is sitting at a desk at a web marketing company. When I'm not at the office, I enjoy making comics, hiking, sewing and working on this website. I also volunteer on the development teams for the Cartoonist Coop, the Queer Zest Zine Fest, and the Comix Accountability Club.
My most recent publication is a three page comic in the CAC anthology, Calling All Crabs, released just recently on July 6, 2024. Pick up a copy from Partners and Son. I also have several zines, prints, and stickers available for purchase from my ko-fi shop.
notes for nerds
I used this layout builder to speed up my process for designing the new layout. I used Courier Prime and Unifraktur Cook fonts from Google fonts. the background image is "Tissu d'ameublement (V&A Museum)" by dalbera. It is licensed with CC BY 2.0.
