There are people on my life that still misgender me can ya believe it?
Got a message that someone was inspired to transition because of my comics and THAT’S WHY WE DO IT, FOLKS
There are people on my life that still misgender me can ya believe it?
Me writing a comic: “ok what if a transgender girl ate borgir”
Shortly after I started my transition, my mom told me she was initially worried she was "losing her little kid in the pictures," but was happy I was still generally the same person. I assured her I was still who I always was, but immediately went and made this to blow off steam
Without downloading new pics what is it like dating you?

I don't want to shoot videos I don't want to post tutorials I don't want to show my process I don't want to pour varnish I don't want to turn my canvas I don't want to record my screen I don't want to cultivate parasocial relationships I just want to make pictures and shitpost
The way profit maxxing corpo culture has invaded every form of art through algorithms pushing people into daily posting is really weighing on me lately. Efficiency and regularity of making "content" being prized above all else feels so grim, man.
i'm legit almost angry at all the institutions that made people think their dream comic was unproduceable. Everything is produceable baby. The only limiter is how crazy you are
I pick up a guitar and the ska upstrokes just come out it’s like I’m a werewolf on the full moon
I was just thinking about how "you need to become an influencer to sell books" is ruining everything
I hate how what I need to do is write books, and yet I keep thinking, "Maybe if I wore increasingly weird glasses and sat in front of my taxidermy with a bubble pipe and did unhinged houseplant reviews I could go viral and sell some books." Doing the work doesn't feel like enough, some days.
Seems like a good day to mention I block people for using or even defending AI! There will be no argument, just a block.
HE ASKED FOR NO PICKLES Just finished this lovely gundam doll 3d print file and I’m so obsessed. Isn’t sge cute???
I still have that urge to get a graphic novel published someday, even if it’s not my main source of income. I just don’t know how to get it made
If there are any comic book editors on BlueSky, I have experience coloring for Mad Cave Studios & Papercutz, I'm looking for more comics to color 🎨
I'm available for BG Paint & Color Design opportunities. Clients include 20th TV Animation, Shadowmachine, Nickelodeon, Mad Cave Studios, and Zag Animation. 🖥️: heyoerin.art 📬: heyoerin@gmail
A cool unique trans experience is when you accidentally talk in a deep voice in public and all the kids in the immediate area go mouth agape and stare at you like the end of invasion of the body snatchers
I enjoy having my dead name out there because when scammers call me I can just start crying and tell them my brother died in progressively funnier accidents
I pretend to be all enlightened, posting comics like this, and yet here I am, checking the likes as if they’re a reflection of my value as a person.

I partially reuploaded this because I’m deep into my intentional break from comics, and an attempt to step back from social media as a form of self fulfillment. In some ways I am doing better, and some ways I am not. But I do think I have a healthier understanding of my relationship to comics now

Honestly a big reason I got into guitar again is because I can play alone in my house with headphones and never show anyone. It is the opposite of my comics for me, in that it is 100% for myself and I don’t feel the need to impress anyone with it.

My mom made me take a binder full of middle school drawings and damn, I used to really like drawing
It’s so embarrassing when I play my guitar and I have to put my boob on the little shelf on top
