illustrator, cat enthusiast, comic artist, definitely not a small haunted porcelain doll. she/her.

Yesterday someone came by and bought an old Heir Presumptive print I had in my discount bin and told me how much they loved it. 😭 🩷 I didn’t think anyone even really remembered my old webcomic!

I am definitely not doing even half as well as I did last time I was at Otakon, but I did break even and I am having fun so let’s call it a win (even though I cannot get the tattoo I wanted from the tattoo artist at the con bc they got booked up 🥲)

Hmmm I don’t love getting confirmation that my ex still checks my socials. Which I kind of figured, because she would do that with her exes when WE were together, and would then proceed to mock them. In retrospect, it’s kind of embarassing how many red flags I just ignored. 🥲

Ethical art is art that treats everyone involved in the process (from materials to production to creative labor) fairly and with respect—not art that adheres to a specific set of content guidelines. Don't confuse genre trappings or marketing buzzwords with the real obligations we have to each other.

We've put out a plea for SHASTA before, but this guy really needs a home. An oversized senior gentleman, Shasta loves children and just needs a quiet couch to hang out. This 8yo lost his bonded brother and home at the same time, and hasn't really recovered. Someone please love him! #Tucson (23/45)

I have finally reached the point where I have started poking around with DA again, but I don't think I'm at the point where I'm going to share anything with anyone outside of like, one specific groupchat with some friends. 🥲

This is a very thorough statement and I support the artists collective. I truly hope there can be a positive resolution. I want there to be a thriving space for interesting, political, and queer comics, but that also needs to come with fair treatment to the artists who make those books.
