I was taking inventory today so I can be ready and noticed my brain kept having a hold up when I was counting. And when I took a moment to recognize it was happening, I realized it happened between the numbers 12 and 13. When I noticed that, I realized why…

Last year saw my art get angry and bloody. I’m just so tired of the world and the hatred of powerful men. This year I’m focusing on writing my sci-fi story, which I’m trying to not make angry and bloody. So the art will likely continue to be the outlet of my anger.

I’ve been poking at this model kit for a while and it’s been more work than expected. It’s a horribly produced kit. Edges don’t line up, panel lines are raised for some odd reason, and the guns are nothing like the original cg models. Patching, sanding, resculpting. The decals are also crappy.

I was blessed by a Christmas miracle! 4 parrots at once, from left to right; Cricket, Pickle, Emmett, and Lancelot. The only one missing was Juno, off doing her own thing. It’s rare they stop doing crime long enough to chill together. The elusive creature slumped on the couch is yours truly.

I’m so excited for this! I love Riley’s writing and it’s always inspiring.

Just leaving this here.

Logging in to my X account and seeing I still have over 2,500 followers when I haven't posted anything there in over a year and moved elsewhere...

@blackshirtboy.bsky.social is always worth a repost!

If you’re going to refer to me as a terrorist and an enemy of the state simply because I’m trans, then I feel I’ll need to step up my game.

I have episode ideas and skits written down, along with a celebrity wish list, for a revival of "The Muppet Show" that I've been poking at. The more I poke at it for fun, the more annoyed I get with the current state of The Muppets.

I once had to write a 6 word autobiography and it goes like this: "Intended paleontology, ended up in art." -Emma LeRae

Hi, I’m Emma, an illustrator, comic artist, and sculptor with a propensity for drawing dinosaurs, monsters, aliens, and spaceships, but especially dinosaurs. I'm working on a sci-fi story with all of the above. Except dinosaurs, oddly no dinosaurs.

All of my spelling and grammar mistakes in my posts come from me always hitting the character limit and then chopping up my sentences to fit. Then not noticing I butchered something until after I hit post. My alt texts are usually far more eloquent because I have more space and feel less stressed.

The notorious abandoned octopus comic that named "The Emirgible". It was about an octopus that fabricates a suit out of things it finds from ship wrecks and explores dry land. I abandoned it because while I was working on it "The Aquanaut" by Dan Santat came out and I lost all momentum.

I was going through files on my computer and found my first digital art piece from way back in 2003. Again, I was never taught how to make art digitally and I absolutely hated it until 2019 when I was gifted a Wacom by my wife. Even back then I was making art with dumb jokes.

Bird are dinosaurs! A silly doodle I did while babysitting my printer while I get ready for the next convention.

I updated my profile picture to include more grey hair, bags under my eyes, and wrinkles on my forehead.

Those who see me at conventions know that I'm always willing to talk about how I do my art, from process to research and more! So if you've ever wanted to ask me a question, go for it. Even if it's only tangentially art related, or you're curious about me as a person, I'm keen to overshare. 😬

I’ve seen so many movies more than 6 times. Is it not a normal thing to watch movies over and over again? I don’t do it as much as I’d like to these days, but if I posted gifs for every movie I’ve seen more than 6 times it would take me the better part of a day.

The rare booth sketch. If you ask nicely, and I have time, I can sometimes be convinced. It was also itty bitty.

Last day of my last show of the year!! Then I become a hermit until ECCC.

Due to popular request I've updated my Threadless store to include the Dinosaurs Survived! series. emmalerae.threadless.com

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my followers and fans. I couldn’t do this without you!! I know it’s been a bit quiet here in regards to new art. My sci-fi comic has morphed into an illustrated novel and i’ve been crafting concept art and writing like mad. Exciting things are coming!!!

I made a gif! I heard we can post gifs now!! Ive never made a gif before. I present all 27 designs (so far) of my pride stegosaurus prints and stickers. All available at www.emmalerae.com

While I was falling asleep last night my brain was like “coffee is just a form of herbal tea.” Thanks brain.

I can only do what I do because my wife has had a steady and reliable job for years. Before that I did all sorts of random jobs to survive and barely had any energy to make art. She’s the one that told me to quit my job to work on art. It took me a whole year before I took her up on the offer.

Tonight’s listening entertainment. Orson Welles’ famous “War of The Worlds” presentation from Halloween 1938.

Happy Halloween! This piece isn't quite done, but it fit the spooky vibes of the season so I'm posting the WIP.

Look at this absolutely stunning piece of paleoart!

If I had “fuck you” amounts of money you wouldn’t see me driving a fancy sports car. I would spend my money or more important things… Like an Uncle Traveling Matt puppet from Fraggle Rock!!! I want it or the Doozer so badly. 😩 www.juliensauctions.com/en/items/207...

Got my kickstarter copy of @simonroy.bsky.social's "A Star Called the Sun". I'm super excited to dig in. I love this series so much!

Folks have been asking for it, and I'm happy to oblige. I've printed the panoramic prints on smaller paper!!! The smaller size is 8.5 x 25" compared to the 13 x 38" they've only been available in until now. I'll have them at shows now going forward and in my store: www.emmalerae.com/store.html

All sorts of cool people to follow on this list that was put together by the amazing @nataliajagielska.bsky.social

Be safe out there today. No kings!

Coming up with character names for alien characters is always a struggle. You can come up with a great sounding name, then it turns out it's a horrible word in another language, or has a long entry on urban dictionary, or is already a name in a major sci-fi franchise.

I'm writing a book Writing a big ol' book I don't know what I'm doing and I won't let people look. I'll probably get distracted and write a little song. I'm writing a book that's just way too long.

Printing...printing...printing... It's my own fault for making so many options. Get yours on my website: www.emmalerae.com

Stickers are in!!!! Get 'em while they're hot www.emmalerae.com

My friend Keith has been crafting this wonderful tale of Ellie that centers around depression. (And monsters) Creating comics is hard and I've had the good fortune of seeing him go through the process and create something that means a lot to him. Check it out! www.keithnoordzy.com/ellie-not-fo...
