All, the Pasadena Humane Society is asking for donations - they're taking in animals right now, and are also preparing to evacuate if needed. Please consider helping:

taking a break to draw this... get deranged for a fictional character and let the teeny tiny plush you bought motivate you to get through the day

o!! thank you for the kind response to my brief mention of Love Me Like You're Real!! I'll have to post about it more soon — I'm only barely active on bsky, because I'm too busy drawing fan art on my side twitter acct ajdkjfklsdkl 🤭

#artvsartist2024 !! I manifested 2024 as the year of BL and then I drew a 90 page trans BL graphic novella ?!?! (please read Love Me Like You're Real 🥰) I feel like I went through a lot of artistic and personal growth this year, so I'm happy! here's growing even more in 2025!!! 😤💪

Mid-month reminder to apply for the CAG mini grant!! A little breathing room for the comics you want to work on most — whether that’s buying art supplies, paying for childcare or groceries, or closing commissions for a bit.
