Transformeum Bookshelves Started! (Patreon)

I got up at 4am to clear out all the old college reference books I never look at. In their place I have finally begun to shelve all the books I actually use as reference, examples, and mind-broadening!

Now, some of these are stories - old and new - that involve transformations. But many are real reference books for me. I think it is very important to try and read as much as possible about; reality theory; human bodies unlike my own; the history of sex, lust, love, and the taboo; prose and sequential art through the ages; and to understand the evolution of the standards of beauty in society, among much much more.

Now, I'm not saying that I'll ever point to a panel in HELD WITHIN and say, "I wrote this in response to Dr. McBody's 1945 dissertation of quack science." But I do absolutely believe that having a solid understanding of as much as possible - and my own place within it all - helps create a better overall body of work that can involve a clearer empathy towards characters unlike myself and a route that helps avoid stereotyping and generalization.

Also, some of the books simply have boobs in them, and I am not above that.

If you want to learn more about any of these books, leave a note!
