Sorry it took so long to get back you, I forgot to respond in a timely fashion because of multiple undiagnosed issues, became anxious of the irritated version I created of you in my mind and left the email until it was actually impolite to ignore any further.

i used to feel humiliated when a piece of art would make me burst into tears but now tbh i feel really sorry for people who have never experienced it. like damn bestie doesn't know what it's like to feel held by a person you'll never meet

It’s free comic book day, so get out there and visit your local comic book shop. Stores around the world will have lots of great free books for you to pick up. Be sure to actually buy something from them to support them too 👍

i dont like talking about good things in my life because that's bragging. and i don't like talking about bad things in my life because that's whining. i try to say neutral things like, "i am alive" but that is both bragging and whining

Some good tattoos I've slung lately 😌

For ppl who aren't aware: Old temperate forests are insanely rare nowadays and extremely important ecosystems lost forever once cut. They're not just "old trees" but intricate networks of trees, fungi and all kinds of living creatures. You CANNOT replant this!! Once it's gone it's lost FOREVER!!!

just became aware of this--the regime wants to clear-cut massive chunks of Oregon's old growth forests in the name of timber production. you have until March 23rd to comment. i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.

comic fury has been an amazing, indie run comic host that has lasted for 17 years for a reason. comics will help comics. at the end of the day, we have each other.

Webcomic creators - ComicFury needs our help! ComicFury is basically the last of the old-school webcomic hosting sites and the mod Kyo needs more financial support if he's going to continue. If you host on ComicFury, I encourage you to support Kyo at patreon.com/comicfury or ko-fi.com/comicfury! 🐊📖

85 schoolgirls. just one is a world, a future of infinite possibilities, a universe. that america has done this atrocity to 85 of them, that it will continue to do even worse... i don't even know what to say. i condemn this with every fiber of my being, but that doesn't feel like enough.

Hi everyone, I'm an independent merch artist and doing merch is my fulltime job! Having to move platforms has made a significant impact on my reach and sales, so if you see this, I'd really appreciate signal boosts! If you've supported me in the past thank you SO MUCH!💜💜💜 SHOP: steelwithteeth.com

Constantly caught between wanting to keep in touch with my online friends and with never wanting to post online ever again ever for any reason 💀

Healed on bottom, fresh up top, one last session to go (after we've confirmed my client is not allergic to red ink) Some of my best work so far I'm ngl

Swelling rage

Healed, almost a year later, no touch ups—I was ON some shit that day idk

Tattooed @elibenik.bsky.social the other day and can I just say that for only being my 11th tattoo those 3rl lil lines are STRAIGHTTT 😤😤😤

Hi folks, I'm seeing a lot of "Eyes on Minneapolis" & "We support Minnesota" sentiment. Here's a tangible way you can help: Trump just suspended federal funding for SNAP benefits to Minnesota. Second Harvest Heartland is an MN-based hunger-relief org. Please donate what you can. www.2harvest.org

30 families in Ward 9 need help. If you have capacity please donate so we can get families food. - Email Costco gift cards to naomialexandra@gmail.com - Venmo at @ Kevin-nye-3 - Cash App at $revkev

Hey all, I have abt 30 families in South Minneapolis who need grocery support. I’m hoping to raise $3000 to do a big Costco run, but I don’t have Venmo & I don’t have the ability to float it on my credit card. You can verify this need w/ @jchavezmpls.bsky.social. Please let me know if you have ideas

Feeling ultra super frustrated that I bought an expensive tattoo machine in October and by the end of November I had to send it in for $150 worth of repairs, only to finally get it back in January with apparently the same machine flaw that caused the motor to fail in the first place 🫠

Anyway my favorite part of making a dnd character is getting to be an insane maximalist about it

Tattooing has had an interesting effect on me as of late: namely that I've started regularly drawing for fun again for the first time in like 10 years

So many of you are infatuated with the idea of being a comic artist that you don’t even notice that you don’t enjoy being a comic artist

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

A reintroduction to our shop apprentice Dailen @dog.den.ink Dailen has a strong art background and spent 10 years as a comic book artist before finding her way to tattooing. You can follow her page to check out her books! Her illustrative style has carried over from comics to tattooing seamlessly.

Trying to make a point to post on social media again but like... how long will it last lol

POINTS THAT'S MY ARM! Might be my new favorite tattoo, Dailen did so good 🥺♥️

One* must imagine Laika, Patron Saint of One-Way Trips, frolicking in the cosmos, chasing the stars, basking in the light and sleeping sweetly in the cool darkness, space dust sparkling in her fur. *it's me, I'm one, her story makes me too emotional otherwise lmao 💀

Making some lil guys lately?

Hey Comics! It looks like this year marks my last San Diego Comic Con. (Booth 708, if you're around and would like to say hi!) I just wanted to write a quick thank you to everyone who has made these years some of the most wild and special of my entire life. !

My partner's grandmother turns 90 next month and I'm attending her birthday in Nebraska and considering how conservative that side of the family is, I (a queer tattoo artist with a facial piercing) am planning to go off like a flashbang dropped on that party

"All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you." My third month of tattooing draws to a close. 🐰♥️
