Hey. You know those cute little crow time comics everyone loves so much? That's Isa. That's who everyone is talking about. I think that needed to be made clear since I noticed some confusion and a lot are actually rather unaware of this fact because she's great at separating herself from this.

The Hiveworks Artist Guild has released a public statement alleging years of labor abuses, financial mismanagement, and misconduct at Hiveworks at the hands of Xellette “Xel” Velamist and Isabelle “Isa” Melançon. Read their full statement at: cartoonist.coop/hiveworks-gu...

It's been a long ten years and I finally get to talk publicly about what happened behind closed doors. Please take the time to read this letter and please avoid working with these people. You are more valuable than an opportunity for people like them to use you as cash cow for your work. 🧵

this is age-old discourse, i can't believe i'm seeing someone say this sincerely in 2025. this is a fake problem located entirely within a specific type of fandom. there is plenty of non-gay art about male friendship and being gay continues to be much more stigmatized than "men being friends"

the dracula ballet was wonderful but instead of an original score had what felt like a "BEST OF EPIC/EMOTIONAL CLASSICAL MUSIC" playlist. night on bald mountain, claire de lune, 1812 overture, and more mashed together. on the nose at best and distracting at worst

i think i subscribe to the team cherry school of development secrecy, id just rather make my stuff totally disconnected from social media and never post about it than have to post for Engagement. unfortunately many con/market panels check your social media follower count 🫠

delighted to pick up 4 huge screens for screenprinting for $25 each today instead of the $188 i'd have paid new. EACH. i'm so excited to be able to do huge designs on my tea towels now, i thought i'd have to do them half/half with small screens. totally opens a world of possibilities for me

im tabling at an outdoor market tomorrow that doesn't allow pegging the marquee down. so, im filling water weight pods with concrete today and strapping on concrete blocks. that way, I can get to the 20kg per leg minimum without shelling out $350 for cast iron leg weights (!!!!)

all I could think about watching @ladyemily.nebula.tv 's amazing video on gordon ramsay's grilled cheese spectacular was how easily reciptineats blows him out of the water for approachable grilled cheese content. oh. and why the fuck did he put kimchi in there. deranged
