A limerick. Based on a true story.

I’ll come back to this later but i wanna get feedback from you guys: should i ask for a break from my dayjob to do comics? Let me know if this is a thing that people do

Here are some stones to throw in the water #illustration #art

Whoa hi. I haven’t used bsky in a hot minute. Hope you’re all doing okay in the meat grinder? I didn’t realize a lot of you followed me on here. I try not to stare too long on social media these days

This is a very good visual for how talking about artists helps us. If you’ve commissioned, bought from or worked with an artist, please talk about it. It helps us a lot.

Last year, an author mentioned my shop on her substack. It changed my income so drastically that this is the spike of orders from that *one* mention last year. Word of mouth for an artist can change everything.

Never forget, fellow struggling cartoonists There was a time that this was basically kind of a job

Homestly the biggest is that rates haven’t kept up with inflation and the cost of living. When I was a noob barely out of art school, I was able to cover my rent on a nice 1 bedroom apartment with what I earned from 2 days at the drawing board. I don’t know any new artist who could say that today.

I haven't been on here for a while,but yeah so I'm finally settling in a bit at my new dayjob. And might I just say that I'm not sure if americans know this or are aware but let me just say anything that's happening over there is greatly making waves all the way here in Asia. It's certainly...A LOT.

I know im an artist by profession but dear god drawing doesn't actually come naturally for me I try and work really hard all the time!!

The american news has been doing a good job at making me lose hair

I wanted to respond to everyone’s replies but for some reason bsky cuts out on the notifs to some extent. I hope you guys had a good CNY/LNY this week! Happy new year i love you eat some tikoy

Congratulations to @dengu.bsky.social for winning a @massmice.bsky.social Mini-Grant for their zine, Conversations. Poetically cryptic text messages and enigmatic drawings set a mood of contemplation and motivation! www.radiatorcomics.com/shop/uncateg...

I ordered jollibee tonight idc anymore

Finally got some paperwork done today. I have 2 more things to do but it feels damn good to get something finished this month it was starting to wear me down

series of posts brought to u by being ill multiple times in december

Before the pandemic I used to get invited to schools at career day type things to speak to young adults and teens about work and one thing I wish i told them before was whatever opportunities come their way is that their health should come first no matter what

Hey! If anyone at MICE bought a copy of the Conversations Zine from Kittybug Press this past weekend i’d love to send you a pdf (for free!) of the new extended version. I made a longer version just for Radiator Comics but i still want anyone who got one to have it. Just drop me your emails!

I wish there was a way to get a massive bottle of pocari sweat dropped at my doorstep without it costing 100 million dollars

I hope they look cohesive at a glance at least uurg

Have you ever drawn so many pages of a comic….sit back and think about the flow and add more pages in between pages until it feels right? So anyway

WHOA !!! Thank you so much for dropping by! This means a lot T^T

Danny@dandeliondname.bsky.social · 2y ago

YOUR WORKS STOPPED ME AT MY TRACKS. I loved them! 💖 The way you composed them is so pleasing to look at.

Anyway there’s also a show/exhibit in Cartellino/Galerie Stephanie right now too that my some of my pieces are exhibited. If any of you happen to pass by the area, drop by maybe?

Sometimes i surprise even myself with my optimism because why did i think i can get anything done during December? This month is a mess 🤡🤡🤡
