i’m a professional illustrator and character designer. on the side, my friends and i make podcasts about fictional cats and comics. i’m not that short and i’m not a man but i AM just a little guy, ya feel me? || 32, she/her 🏷️ #scoutdraws #dailysketch2025
We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.
the human mind is truly a mystery. i could not tell you the last time i have actually listened to the song jesse’s girl but inexplicably it just popped into my head and now is in there for the foreseeable future
Friendly Reminder: 3DS, Vita and Switch all use a type of flash memory that needs an electrical charge every decade or so to keep the game data from corrupting. TLDR: Boot up all your games and make a save on them to help preserve them into the future!
daily sketch catchup for the last week and a bit! i enjoyed some semi-vacation days for mom’s birthday in the middle of all this. and went to my ipad a little bit more than i have been recently. #dailysketch #scoutdraws
i got misty-eyed about aerith as soon as her theme hit so i have personally proven the video thesis, i think
Today, @lexplays.bsky.social and I have another one for you. Why is it that Aerith's theme so easily makes us cry? This video script is 70%-80% written by Lex, and she absolutely killed it. youtu.be/lbbDDCn_K9A
hey y’know what. i don’t post about nice things in my life enough. flowers and trees keep growing. hummingbirds sit on power lines. beautiful buildings turn 100 years old, preserved by people who organized to keep them from being torn down and rebuilt uglier. the earth keeps turning.
the book is good and i think the episode is too!!
Today the Panelists cover the Eisner-nominated “Hello Sunshine” by @keezyyoung.bsky.social, a horror YA graphic novel that manages to tell a mental health story extremely well and responsibly. We can’t get enough of Noah 😍 insequence.pictures/episodes/hel...

wild how there’s some books where scraping out 45 minutes of reading is torturous and some books where i can read for 4 straight hours and still be ready for more
oh your entire industry is crumbling because of externalities outside your control? Have you thought of starting a patreon so that you have to do a bunch of extra work on top of that?
Pixar receives a $26.2 Million Tax credit to keep film jobs in CA, and immediately lays off 10% of its work force, after making over a billion from Toy Story 5, the highest-grossing film of 2026.
Pixar's Layoffs Came Days After Receiving a $26 Million Tax Credit. So I Wrote California Officials.
State tax incentives should create and retain jobs for Californians, not subsidize corporate layoffs.

Ocarina of Time is mostly about the differences between childhood and manhood, which mainly that boils down to having three pairs of shoes that you have to cycle through regularly instead of one.

GUESS WHO’S BEHIND ON DAILIES POSTS AGAINNNNNNN 🥶 the last few weeks i have NOT been especially art motivated. but my driving has been going really well, now that i can practice midweek, too! here’s journal selfies to cover a big chunk of days since i last posted. #dailysketch #scoutdraws
Caving to the environment-destroying brain rot machine simply because it feels “inevitable” is a coward’s stance btw
It's silently costing people friends and other connections, too. If I see that you are posting or reposting gen AI content I'm unlikely to say anything but I will immediately lose interest in striking up any kind of conversation, friendship, or working relationship. And I know I'm not the only one.

this episode also gives you a taste of my long standing one-sided personal rivalry with the book The Animator’s Survival Kit, as a little bonus
Today the panelists discuss Scott McCloud's classic, Understanding Comics, a book that purports to be a lecture but in many cases comes off as a manifesto. We discuss Scott's messy definition of comics, his genuinely good insights, and also his strong biases.
