when I went freelance, I was certain my clients would be museums. Instead, I’ve worked on a lot of interpretive panels for trails, waysides, and historic buildings. It means I have to think about audiences differently, but i love connecting people to stories in surprising places #publichistory

I have been working on my fish zine after 2 years of wanting to start it. I feel like if you are drawing fish, one of them has to be given legs. We looked up some cowboy sayings and this was among them. Destined to become a sticker✨ #fish #cuteart #cowboy

Only ancillary, but I had the great please of including a pair of these in a museum exhibit. You pressed the tongue of the shoe and it ordered you a pizza

seriously, get rid of your crap

A Nissan Sentra weighs a little more than 3,000 pounds (I picked a small, common car) An Aventon Level 3 E-bike weighs 67 pounds (plus rider weight) These things do not pose remotely the same risk when traveling at 28 mph. I am begging people to understand basic physics.

my tuxie is not at all impressed with the tuxie container I bought at IKEA yesterday

I am never more productive than I am when I’m drawing/writing/something in an airport bar

speaking as a lifelong global traveler: getting to the airport early has saved my ass from massive travel disruptions so many times that I now view it as a key travel survival skill. Also, I love airport bars.

The best thing about grading #His1840 Graphic History exams? Some students offer goodbye doodles. (This one channels @berincole.bsky.social.)

The worst part of any bike ride is cars.

how my week went

Hello #portfolioday I’m Heather, a tattoo artist working out of Denver&Seattle. I love working in many styles and with many different subject matter. Here are four pieces from this past month. zeitgeisttattoodenver.com for more info.

Never forget: 8 years ago a random person on Craigslist wrote the most effective ad for the Toyota Corolla, ever.

sorry but like this is straightforward, there's a kind of group that is superficially dedicated to changing the world but in actual practice only dedicated to being Cool, and actually winning or gaining power would therefore not be a victory but a *problem* for them

[shaking with nervous energy] oh that part of the 1960s is back too

time to rate some more amounts of money $414,910: that's a whole bunch of money where i come from $50: nice and neat. i love it! $1.06: no offense, but this isn't very much money $1000: don't bullshit me $1002.17: yeah, that's what i thought $614.05: solid $0: hey, wait a minute! $18.93: bad salad

This! Research is *not* about summarizing things. Many of my articles started with an oddity in a specific domain. You grow the network of linked phenomena from these seeds.

love it when people looking for vendors to their art and crafts for local markets use the shittiest AI flyers to promote the same local markets

Just FYI - @radiatorcomics.bsky.social carries some of my comics, as well as comics by a lot of other really awesome artists! If you're looking to stock up on comics (either mine, or someone else's), Radiator is a great place to support! www.radiatorcomics.com/creator/b-er...

i was trying to explain to a friend the way new fonts look, so i made this graphic

I encourage you to reach late middle age by any means necessary if for no other reason than to find out just how primo the naps are. No matter how much you like naps now you will not believe it

I say the same thing every time I hear someone say "I can't draw" and it's this: the number of people who *can't* draw is very small. The number of people who *don't* draw is massive. Drawing is not a magical talent, it's a skill that we can all work on and develop by practicing.

we already have an incredible invention that allows anybody from any background to easily become a writer or an artist without a high bar to entry and it's called a 'zine

I see my inner monologue is posting again

Why I don’t get more comics done: - I have to run my exhibit consulting/interpretive planning business, which means doing all the work I get hired to do and finding new work - I have to do all my own cooking, cleaning, admin, errands, etc -Minnow demands to lay on me at least 20 hours a day

the greatest mascot ever

Classic

met these cheerful hyacinths on my morning walk

god grant me the serenity to accept the bellies i cannot safely pat, the courage to pat the bellies i can, and the wisdom to know the difference

Jinenger, an eccentric, energetic mountain yam, is an unofficial mascot for Shiroi City.

Every time: Am I the vendor? Is the university the vendor? Who is the supplier? Why do I have to do onboarding? Where is the contract? Who is Bob?

I took some days off last week, which was great - but now it’s Monday again #webcomics #illustration

I overheard an annoying AF conversation this afternoon and I just want to say: HEY CIS PEOPLE - TRANS RIGHTS ARE YOUR RIGHTS, TOO like self-determination? like bodily autonomy? TRANS RIGHTS ARE YOUR RIGHTS AND MY RIGHTS AND OUR RIGHTS don’t listen to the fucking haters

It shouldn’t be this warm in Denver today, but it is…. #webcomic #climatechange

I injured my elbow this week, and I’ve narrowed it down to the following culprits: a. reading b. drawing c. sleeping getting older is great

I can tolerate disagreements on nuclear proliferation but I draw the line at being rude about furries

Hi! I don't think Toho has a bsky so I'll post it - my first commissioned work for all the official Godzilla channels and I handmade everything that isn't a toy. Enjoy xo

A very clever sound effect — not only do the characters' poses form the letters, they also visually communicate how the impact twisted their bodies into unusual and uncomfortable shapes.

Opbf and I are at a local St Patrick’s Day block party thing and there are two different Latin food trucks doing Irish fusion, including corned beef empanadas this kind of thing is what makes America great, not the nativist bullshit

in honor of today, here’s my comic about traveling to the ancestral homeland right before COVID broke out worldwide in 2020 - I did a lot of thinking about family and identity on this trip #webcomics #comics www.littlebraincomics.com/dublin-trave...

this is hitting all my ethnic/ancestral homeland feels today

There’s a reason that in the future, all restaurants are Taco Bell

One of these - minus the onions (they’re raw!) - has been part of every Taco Bell meal I’ve eaten since early childhood

That’s the good stuff. You wouldn’t believe how many rural american dollar stores carry this spicy ass ramen.
