You know I'll admit ive been feeling super out of it and depressed all summer. I keep pushing along but motivation has been rough. Alot of worrying about stuff. Health care, taxes, all that fun stuff. I try to post happy things but i apologize if my posts and responses have been really negative.

A couple random pics this week. The first i think i drew months ago and forgot about. I'm sure Archie is just grumpy because people don't know what her sweater means. The second was drawn the other day for a pic i ended up redrawing the girl for, but i like how the original came out :)

A very interesting thread admittedly from two years ago. When I was a kid my mother tried to test me for autism as best as she could, but the system in 1990s Utah was not great, what they did diagnose was a non verbal learning disorder, which I though was insane because I am definitely verbal.

FYI: Non-verbal Learning Disorder - (NVLD or NLD) means that the person has disabilities that DO NOT effect their verbal processing - often challenges are primarily clustered around their visual processing, visual memory, visual recall, visual strategies. Folks with NLD are often hyper-verbal.

🎉 Last Friday, my most enduring "OC" Daniel, who is also the mascot of this profile, turned 31 years young. He definitely ages much better than me. So it was about time to make a detailed post telling his story, his changes over the years, and what's ahead for me and my troupe of characters.

These enigmatic stone spheres play a role in the general plot of my Coativille GN/comic pitch. There is still a lot of mystery surrounding them. In fact you can see my kids here around a half-buried one. (This was a teaser cover, different from the one finally used for the comic's print run)

Teaser cover for my Stories of Coativille (Spanish: Historias de Villa Pizote) GN pitch. From top, against a volcano background, a mysterious forest spirit guard guards a golden frog. Atop a semi-buried big stone sphere we see (L to R): Elias, holding a tablet; Daniel, sat atop the stone; Susana, holding her pet coati; Zoé, Susana's older sister, in an earlier design, and a forest capybara, all of them playing important roles on the general story.

When United Fruit Company workers were bulldozing the Costa Rican jungle, they began finding these enigmatic spherical stones ("petrospheres") made of 'gabbro', a basaltic stone. Thinking they might contain treasure, workers tried drilling or blowing them up. Let's talk about the 'Diquís Spheres'.

"Some of the stone spheres found in Finca 6 in the care of the National Museum of Costa Rica"  It's just giant round stone spheres of varying size, but all quite large, lying on a well-manicured green grass area.  They're grey with deep pitting.  In the background are some people in tropical attire, and a dense wooded area.

A bunch of people have followed me today via the “trans-inclusive comic creators and editors” list. Hi, folks who have found me that way! You probably know this, but I’m Dana, and I make comics. I’m mainly known for the unicorn one these days. Feel free to stick around.
