who up listening to Various Artists

you should want to honor and compensate the people who empower and enable your work, especially when we’re talking about queer works. at some point we have to break the cycle of our elders, activists, and archivists dying in poverty and obscurity.

also last night i realised how much i actually look like my father and it's bonkers we have the same nose, jawline, eyebrows, forehead shape....only thing is his eyes are blue n mine are brown and it makes a huge difference in how people percieve our similarities but. wow

mmm fears of artfight losing its community spirit because all the popular reels artists seem to have discovered it this year mmmmm gentrification of the last actually fun art site on the internet mmmmm but if the site interface itself doesnt change then it should all be ok in the end.....right.....

thinking about how i actually received such a low quality education in childhood compared to my partner which is nuts... like i've been able to teach myself how to think so i'm all good but to my partner i'll be like "wait your school taught you the CORRECT things?" or "they had the MONEY for that?"

Srsly tho my actual advice to young cartoonists is that it's not always wise to do your first comic as an epic especially if you haven't had any practice making/finishing writing or drawing comics before, but if you want to gamble on it, then you'd need to accept or be aware of some things

have had a brutal and consistent rotation of constipation, diarrhoea, nausea, and stomach pains since saturday and i am so fucking bored from lying in bed ill for days. my adhd paralysis is the worst when i'm sick. let me Out

so many new comics festivals are cropping up around the country and as fun as it would be to exhibit at each i'm beginning to think that like, maybe alt comics festivals should stay localised to the areas in which they actually take place in, to kinda like, give actual local artists a platform?

why do people on the internet need to be told shit like this

"My favourite pieces of media to consume are--" Do you people actually even enjoy anything

HE TOOK ME ON A CEMETERY DATE!!!!!!!!!!! HE KNOWS WHATS UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

might go on an art hiatus after pcaf (end of july). or maybe i won't idk can't afford to do it now tho

i think being an "OC" illustrator is weird bc 99% of OCs are idealised as in perfect people you'd wanna date or fuck or be friends with and while ive always been aware of this, god damn it feels so strange knowing it now that i'm like... with the most real and human (but also beautiful) person

actually going offline in 2026 is probably the closest experience you can get to being a hermit without being a real hermit because you are technically going off grid (just the online one), i think i finally understand hermit logic. except i still wanna talk to people. just face to face

genuinely feeling so much more disconnected from the online world than i ever have rn tbh, i feel like i've lost interest in like... so much of the inherently online kind of stuff i used to engage with... yippee!

genuinely experiencing like, the happiest time of my life ever rn yet sometimes it feels like nobody from my online world is happy for me, which kinda... sucks, but oh well, i'm happy, i'll keep being happy and i'll get off my goddamn phone so i can hold onto that happiness

been thinking about reconnecting more with my ancestry as a means of unlearning colonialism i gotta get more cymreig 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

so that's what people mean when they say love is like a drug, i am withering away like a crackhead, also how have i never experienced this before, i was hoping for some kind of change when my frontal lobe had fully developed, and it's now come and hit me like a TRUCK, also this is how he texts,

made a SPIKY LITTLE GUY

if you claim that your art is feminist or punk but you only draw skinny and conventionally attractive white women wearing makeup then no I don't trust you

i find it so extremely shocking that medieval revival is having such a big fat fucking moment right now and yet nobody knows about 1970s medieval revival MUSIC

i love this drawing i did on my birthday aka trent reznor day :)) laine and his bff prita they're adorable and it's so red my favourite colour

the internet has absolutely conditioned me to feel like being mean whenever a stranger disagrees with me.. legit why are people so unreasonably mean to each other in comment sections and why do EYE feel like perpetuating that on the rare occasion i have a stranger replying to me in my notifs

bought a print by an artist i'm obsessed with rn and it was the VERY LAST ONE after me visiting the online store again wistfully not expecting them to sell out so quick <3 i feel successful in the luckiest sense like i've just physically fought ppl for it (sry to the 3 folx who had it added to cart)

there is a sense of liberation in never posting abt my life to instagram stories anymore because nobody on insta deserves to know how cool i am irl anymore (/j my head isnt that far up my ass but its how it Feels)

as much as i still love mcr them re-releasing danger days on vinyl exclusively for spotify listeners is such a sellout move and i am disappointed :( ofc this is on top of them charging insane prices for concert tickets and selling the tixs in a predatory way (selling 1 day after announcing tour)

static dress was success btw :) got barricade got setlist got heaps of merch and also felt cool in my outfit 👍

god damn it i want some new hecking art prints. i should have gone to tokyo alley. i did not. i am a silly girl. as much as i love my print wall. it needs an overhaul wtf

i always require the neurodivergent single seat on the bus now and i'm very uncompromising about it

THEYRE IN PERTH!!!!! olli stop giving evil mining companies free pr /j

i wanna get a pic with them so much and i'm going to buy all of their merch. all of it. self reminder to bring a spare tote bag

i'm going to lose my MIND when i see static dress tn

why are there so many little pictures of mclusky online

okay but why do so many "children's authors" write books that are basically for adults but just feature kid characters (so they can call it children's lit)???? i see so many bleak, maturely themed books targeted towards kids yet no actual kids reading them. n yeah maybe that's a parenting issue

in august it will have been a year since i closed my spotify account & i have honestly thrived as a music listener without it. like seriously Finding music and building your collection is part of the fun & experience regardless of whether it's vinyl, cd, or digital download (bc then u can burn it..)

got such a good haul at the record store today u wouldn't even believe

i love spikes... now i am going to have two tattoos that are a tribute to spikes. i may get a third.. Would be hilarious if all my tattoos just ended up having a spiky theme

Started writing. At 8pm. Suddenly 2am? What the fuck

thinking about the thylacine this morning....

A page from my latest comic, Third Act 💋⛓️ you can read the first 7 pages on my patreonnnn

me when i realise i'm writing a comic involving two (2) taboo topics and how scary that actually is but at least i'm striving to go about it respectfully and carefully 😇

people using their phones whilst walking is becoming one of my pet hates bc they are usually doing one or both of the following: a) being a slow walker b) lacking complete awareness of their surroundings which means they'll walk into you!!!!!!!

The four horsemen of the apocalypse

not to sound bitter bcs i love goth stuff but i feel that one specific tiktok copy paste style of "trad goth" makeup will become mass percieved as uncool or tasteless very soon because everybody on the internet and their mother is doing it now

capyberus

one may be irish....one may be english....however, both are from the same evil (my art & villains 5 years apart)
