About[]
Haley Newsome a.k.a LavenderTowne is a comic book artist, a Ravenclaw, and a little sleepy.
She is taking a break from her webcomic Unfamiliar (about a witch moving into a haunted house) and is currently working on a new comic project. She also used to have a webcomic called disasterpice (about her time at art school). Both are on Tapas, but only Unfamiliar is published and on Webtoon. Unfamiliar Volume 2 is only available for purchase.
According to her, she is rather successful with her Patreon: “… Patreon is a stable income, which helps me relax and keep working on my comics and videos without having to worry! I sprinkle rewards all throughout the month and Patrons hear first about new projects!”
