i refuse to disrupt my beautiful endless tranquility to learn how to use blender
ok it's been a while can i share maybe one of my favorite instances of book ban attempt text. i feel like it draws such a clear portrait of the mind that created it
still recovering from watching oniisama e with my friends who are also utena fans. it was a near-telepathic experience of pointing at shots and going oh my god look there it is oh my god holy shit (pointing at it). it feels like looking at strands of DNA
that idea of having to construct a body without understanding of what you're building, or of inhabiting a strange body etc, will probably reoccur a lot in my body of work. I haven't finished looking at it from different angles yet. for more from me on this please read beetle and the chimera carnival
I made demon street in an effort to teach myself how to draw, so I decided that as a method of relief from doing things wrong essie would really be—diegetically—as simplistic and weird-looking as I drew her, which led naturally to the plot idea that she haphazardly created her own body.
six years ago do you know what came out? MY beetle hollowbones. and these days some people tell me "i read this when i was a kid" to which i say YES!! grow up and make something too!! what will you make, i wonder? i cant wait to see it!

at this rate half my pictures from this trip are going to be pictures of the bug and yet we go to the gift shop and NO plushies of the bug? hmph!
please keep a copy of demon street & give copies to your friends. half of the original pages were made on a laptop from 2007 and are too small to print. i do not want the comic to disappear from the world forever. credit the comic back to me, don't sell it, and distribute it as you like. thank you🩷
The entire archive of DEMON STREET is available to download and read for free on my patreon: www.patreon.com/alizalayne/p... A membership to my patreon, which is a tip jar, is not required. Demon Street is an all-ages fantasy adventure comic about who can take your name from you. 2013-2023.
hey, so it looks like the demon street domain was sold from under me. it may be unrecoverable. please do not visit it. i will have to take the website down from my socials. still trying to figure out what to do about this.
Aliza Layne@alizalayne.bsky.social · 2mo agoThanks to anyone letting me know the demon street website has been taken down. I need to offboard the comic from my digital publisher but have been away from my desk for the past 5 months for work. I'll get a PDF version of the comic together as soon as I can and link it or host it on my website.

The Kitty Fairy - painted after a home movie on VHS of me in a kindergarten play. it's interesting to see another version of yourself who looks and acts like you but is also kind of like a wild animal
cat painting. lately i am in love with making digital paintings on mostly one layer
NO!!!!!!!! YOU LOOK LIKE A FUCKING STAPLE REMOVER
Aliza Layne@alizalayne.bsky.social · 3mo agomaking a model for comics-- this way I don't have to remember what the castle looks like and can take pictures in order to come up with interesting shots. It is just faster to do this than it is to learn blender. Cardboard tubes, hot glue, index cards, foam clay, assorted scraps.
