An inked panel I personally love from the current project, "Otis and the Sylva Beast" written by @notsosuper.pub! And yes I'm gonna tidy those panel corners with some whiteout. 😅 Also thank you for looking at the pencils for this comic at the NCS mini-con this past Saturday!!

I’ve been binging “My Adventures With Superman” with the kids while we have HBO for a few more days and I didn’t expect to enjoy this Superman “anime” this much. Probably the best way to introduce the man of steel to the kids.

Boxy Brown is back! I was starting to get concerned that I haven’t seen a box turtle around all year.

To be an effective ally my support does not grant me permission to center myself in spaces where already marginalized folk are trying to be heard. It’s better to silently listen, even take a few lumps, because my aim is for the people I claim to be allying with to know that I truly have their backs.

This photo encapsulates the Black experience in America to me. And those folks hiding their identities most likely are our doctors, police officers, teachers, “upstanding members of society.” The ones deserving of all the privileges owed to them… Anyways let’s watch how this get deflected as nothing

Figured out who’s been eating my strawberry plants 😏

Texted this winning score by Naomi Osaka to my Gen Z daughter. My fatherly duties are done for the day. 1 part inspiration and 1 part dad joke 😙🤌

Gotta love that I’m in a country where I have a mental condition that requires meds, but because the way the US is I have to spend my days calling pharmacies because there’s a shortage of the meds I need to function. Which is doubly hard…cause I don’t have my meds. It’s been an exhausting month.

Wow, instagram did something good. They showed me an ad for an instrumental music group called Vethaken, led by guitarist Pravin Thompson, and hot dang is it really good comics-inking music!! 💖 Also here's some comic art I inked today with ✨NO CONTEXT✨😈 #OtisAndTheSylvaBeast @notsosuper.pub

Hello, thank you for tagging me in the art share! I'm a comics illustrator, here are a couple inked pages from the current project, a graphic novel called "Otis and the Sylva Beast" written by @notsosuper.pub. These will be colored later by Justin Wood.

One thing that will always be consistent about me is that I refuse to be bitter and think the worst in people. I will point out flaws in systems, but I have no way of predicting or perceiving virtual growth in people, but I rock with folks who want to grow and am open to growing as well.

A painful/exhausting thing about figuring out that I’m neurodivergent so late in life is understanding why people misunderstand me, but not having the power to change folks’ misconceptions about the person they thought they knew. It’s especially difficult to handle with loved ones.

I think we now have AI products IRL. Saw these in the wild.

I completely understand the lore and what Backrooms was trying to do, but, for me, spending so much time in those liminal spaces made me sleepy in the movie theater. It felt like being at work or revisiting childhood memories in the most boring rooms. And the random background whispers annoyed me.

I’m loving these inks from @wingedelfgirl.bsky.social for our 60+ page upcoming fantasy graphic novel, #OtisAndTheSylvaBeast! Great things take time. And I truly believe that the intention and dedication put into this story will be a breath of fresh air to readers of all ages. Stay tuned!

Was cleaning up my workspace and found some old AOL floppies! Who remember these?

I don’t know about y’all, but I tune out of any conversation where someone starts telling me that a billionaire or very privileged person is “playing three dimensional chess.” It’s like the melatonin of conversations to me.

Hi, I'm Lauren Sparks from Kentucky in the US, and I'm a comics illustrator. Here's some random panels from the current project, a kids fantasy graphic novel written by @notsosuper.pub called #OtisAndTheSylvaBeast. Sketched all pages with pencil, now using a lightbox to ink with brush and nibs.

This year, lots of people have been asking at conventions if my work contains AI. Since folks like the free buttons and stickers I give away, I figured I’d make some that send a very clear message of where I stand when it comes to AI generated art.

MY YOUNGEST (on our way home from school): “I can’t wait to get home, take a warm bath, eat some dinner, then watch some Bob Ross painting while under a nice warm blanket.” I need her to teach me how to relax.

Not gonna lie, I’ve been neglecting my garden this spring. But the roses are still growing so beautifully. Probably the most I’ve had yet. 🌱

Speaking of conventions, at the one I went to Saturday, this scary looking pin was the kids’ favorite. Kids of all walks picked it out of everything I had, while mortified parents caved in. My oldest and I laughed each time. I made a mental note to make more large kid appropriate pins next time.
