Gentle Observation 269 - I killed this for you. patreon.com/kochalka

Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour, & Welfare taking a HUGE step to protect children from coercive religious practices - threatening “going to hell” - restricting education - limiting friendships - blocking medical treatment - donating at the cost of basic needs can count as neglect or abuse

Worked on this guy for a while and sold him at his first outing. So new I didn't get a chance to properly photograph him before he walked away so I begged for a quick video!

New woof done! He'll be available tomorrow at The Quality Flea Center on Capitol hill, Seattle! Check him out at @rabidsquirrelninja.bsky.social booth!

Doodle from recent flight…

I'm vending at another event with these folks! Last time was pretty successful and this one of shaping up to be even better! If you're in the PNW, stop on by!

My first time having a patch made. So excited!

creating a thread of some paintings cos i am really bad at documenting my stuff

I've been lurking because I've been getting ready for this. This will be my first art market in a long time so I've been getting print files ready and digitizing some of my traditional art for some fun new items. Stay tuned!

meow! cat drew a comic of ET, the Extra-Terrestrial!

Sometimes I sketch up a rough comic but then I never clean it up

Sketchbook atrocities

Cats

Vive Muzzy! Héro des polyglottes partout le monde. Un vrai himbo!

The continuing saga of paintings I sell that I never got a picture of: the person who bought this guy came into my studio recently. Thankfully they had a picture of him they could send me. ❤️

My brain is an endless cacophony of echoing vulgarities….

Crow thoughts

Dragon repost! I think this is the only dragon piece I've ever done...

So Hungary just made attending pride illegal. It's a little less embarrassing when your country isn't the only advanced economy imploding into a right wing cesspool. küzdjetek tovább, drágáim!

Im gonna be a fashion designer

Ireland, County Claire. Not from my recent trip, though. I’ve got a fair bit of work travel under my belt. When i can, i try to get out and see the sights.

In the airport watching the financial news like...

In Ireland for work on St. Paddy’s day. Thought I’d offer up a shout out. Sláinte, y’all!

@ ARTISTS!!! (PLEASE REPOST FOR AWARENESS) if you are unable to use glaze or nightshade for whatever reason, please protect your art by using art shield. it's a free service that takes minutes, and can run on mobile as it is browser based! artshield.io#services

Might spin up an AD account documenting the adult situations this guy gets into...

So according to @nuggetcat.bsky.social, this may not be exactly how i worded it but… its how i prefer to remember it.

Half baked character designs for a half baked comic idea. Baking in progress…

From the vaults

I picked a few folks at random. Animation is an incredibly harsh industry to work in and LA is an incredibly harsh real estate market to live in. We gotta keep each other afloat.

My energy for 2025

Nut pressure: when peer pressure meets nut-based commerce. Old comic from the vaults. Trip to Vancouver involved a stroll around a fancy nut shop. I had no intention of buying anything until the social pressure mounted. Don't give in to nut pressure folks...

There is absolutely no one in the Seattle art scene who has the BRAVERY to make the daring social commentary our current social climate demands. I have no peers.

My legacy

A comic about squirreling stuff away! BONUS Panel below! 👇 #webcomics #webcomic #comics #comic #christmas

Long flight mood. Drawing on the flight out East for exmass. Playing with some retro brushes...

Festive

I had just put this piece up and it sold. I hadn't even taken a picture of it yet. I had to snap a pic right before they came off the wall.

Nuther skunk boi

Spent October drawing skunks for stinktober but I never uploaded any. This one is a spicy one. His name is Fanta and he's not good with boundaries....

Post rabbit! I've been doing a lot of traditional work which doesn't get a whole lot of interest online . . .

Hmm... Thoughts?
