BIO
"My name is Krysta Marie Cox. I am transgender. I write and draw “comic” style art, heavily influenced by the manga art style, that chronicles my feelings, experiences, thoughts and advice when it comes to that singular experience of transitioning one’s gender. My journey has been painful, but it is said that beauty is pain. My intent is to share that pain in such a way that others may see the beauty in it as well. It is also my hope too, perhaps, to save even one person from the mistakes I have made as well. Mine have landed me in prison and as far as pain goes, being in prison has been the most painful thing I have ever experienced. But again, there is beauty even here, within these prison walls."

A Queer Prisoner's Comix Anthology: Dreams & Nightmares
Do prisoners dream? After all, for many, the act of incarceration was a world ending event. Most lose almost everything: family, friends, jobs, property...all fed to the Nightmarish Machine known as the P.I.C. Yet even at the end, it's never over. It is often a metamorphosis; an invitation for a new beginning. Alone we die by degrees. Together we live the dream. And we won't rest until all of us are free!
-Baphy
This anthology features the comix and art of dozens of contributors on the topic of dreams...and nightmares. Proceeds donated back to the creators commissary accounts to help fund the purchase of food, clothes, toiletries, gender affirming items, medical copays, art supplies and much more!
