Happy Pride, everyone :) Our community is still here, still standing! This was done for me a while back by my wonderful husband :D Featuring Sed from my Iron Nail Afternoon series ironnailafternoon.thecomicseries.com #pride #pride2026 #ironnailafternoon #art #digitalart #lgbtq #queer #dilf

This! Also shorter-form work (like minicomics) is a great way to learn your craft and build an audience. I say this all the time in mentoring calls. Start there before you launch yourself into your magnum opus GN.

At best, I always clocked as a frikkin' femme twink however I present. My condition means I can't masculinize physically. Did the whole macho thing with my previous job and look and it didn't make a lick of difference. So screw it, I might as well buy some pretty guy clothes now. #dsd #queer #ftm

All our #pridemonth coverage so far at @brokenfrontier.bsky.social. Something I wanted to think about this year was making sure we covered not just the L, G, B & T but also the Q, I & A. We have some cool stuff coming up. Keep checking in, folks! #Pride26atBF www.brokenfrontier.com/tag/pride-mo...

Interview for #PrideMonth! “There is No Singular or Correct Intersex Narrative” – LJ Nakamura @spirelleart.bsky.social on Intersex Representation and the Liberating Nature of Pulp Sci-Fi. #Pride26atBF www.brokenfrontier.com/lj-nakamura-...

I’m strongly opposed to whole accounts getting moderation labels. BlueSky is already the most prudish social media network I’ve ever posted on, where I’ve posted comic promo images of a clothed couple kissing on a bed or a bare butt in a non-sexual content that were auto-labelled as “explicit sex.”

Been a good couple of weeks. No health flare-ups, back to drawing, able to walk on my own again and got some exciting things lined up for June and July. Feeling grateful for what I have :) #chronicillness #hope #goodnews #gratitude

And here's the color version of my Orla fanart for @johnlees.bsky.social It's published through @madcavestudios.com and available through their site #horror #retro #retroart #monster #drawing #artwork #art #comic #noir #graphics #woman #poster

There's a monster inside every good girl! Inks for an Orla fan piece for @johnlees.bsky.social It's great read published by @madcavestudios.com :) I'll be doing the color version soon! #monster #horror #drawing #artwork #art #inks #comic #manga #ink #blackandwhite #noir

Reupload of a piece done for me by my wonderful husband! Featuring Cullen, Lisha and Noah from my comic Spirelle ironnailafternoon.com On June 3rd, it'll be the anniversary of when the first page went public :) #cartoon #comic #art #romance #cute #funny #manga #anime #spirelle #noahkingsmead

Something something "decades of depressed wages/growing wealth gap" something something "years of policy and politics from both parties that have subbed subsidized low prices for a fair share of economic growth/prosperity for 80% of Americans" Blah blah chickens coming home to roost

Bit tired of queer-coded work by straight creators getting more opportunities, traction, press, promotion etc. It's not about quality - there are queer professionals. It's about opportunity and who gets offered it. Feels a bit like erasure of queer voices. #lgbt #queer #lgbtq

A side project I'm working on :) RE9 kind of got me into drawing big monster dudes! #monster #twink #art #drawing #couple #cute #romance #comic #fantasy #frankestein

A page from my Spirelle comic and a quick concept piece of Eleanor. It's enormously fun to include an older and immensely powerful female character. Busy working on an upcoming scene with her for the current chapter. #scifi #blackandwhite #comic #manga #cyberpunk #art #graphicnovel

I'm neurodivergent (professionally diagnosed), so I know that it's easy to miss certain social cues but neurodivergence is an explanation for certain behaviors, not a pass for excessive tactlessness or rudeness. As an adult, I believe that I'm responsible for managing my interactions. #neuroatypical

It's nice when queer media gets mainstream attention but so often, it's stuff with buff, straight-acting, mostly white dudes. That's fine. There's different flavors of queer. But why no love for stuff with bears or soft twinks or butch lesbians or queens? POC? Just saying... #queer #lgbtq #gay #lgbt

Just a heads-up - I have a separate Bluesky account bsky.app/profile/spir... for Resident Evil fanart and for my m/m artwork and commissions. So don't be alarmed if you occasionally see duplicates of my posts there. Both accounts are mine :) #bluesky #lgbtq #lgbt #residentevil

Oh, I could scream about this for HOURS. But suffice to say: This is what happens when large studios don't want to fund original projects, anymore. They make Scooby-Doo for the 16th time, and the hot young talents goes off, runs a Kickstarter/gets backed by Glitch, and succeeds without them.

There's a huge variety in human adult bodies and there's space to honor and acknowledge all of them :) None of us - hairy, hairless, thick or thin, short or tall - should be shamed by unrealistic set standards.

Back on Deviantart in the day, I had quite a few readers do fan fic or fan art of my older comics. It's exciting to see my new work Spirelle getting some love now :D To celebrate, here's some of the fan art done by readers for my older comics. #fanart #fandom #doll #craft #fantasy #muscles #abs

Rough sketch of Orla in monster form from ORLA! by @johnlees.bsky.social Stellar comic, folks - definitely worth a read :) I will be refining and perhaps coloring this piece but wanted to share my first pass at it, complete with construction lines. #sketch #doodle #orla #monster #art #cryptid

I mass-removed and/or blocked a whole bunch of spam account followers and bot followers. They're an absolute plague! If you're a mutual who got removed by accident when I was cleaning house, please let me know and I'll fix it :) #spam #cleaninghouse

I do urge creators to be aware that open submissions to anthologies can sometimes be dodgy. Some small publishers already have pre-selected contributors (normally friends) and are just looking for emails to add to their fundraising email list. #artistrights #artist #comics #submissions

An upcoming cover for Spirelle ironnailafternoon.com The cover is a nod to one I did for one of my older comics but with a retro sci fi twist :) #art #comic #graphicnovel #popart #retro #gender #lgbt #lbtq #scifi #trans #genderfluid

This is the truest truth of any creative career

Hey! The usual link for my Spirelle comic is down for now (had to renew the domain name) but it should be back up in 24 hours. In the meantime, here's an alternative link :) ironnailafternoon.thecomicseries.com For mature readers only! #scifi #comic #cyberpunk #art #noir #inking

yeah this is a double whammy because people’s bodies shouldn’t be made fun of, and it’s also an admission that you couldn’t think of anything funnier than a joke about how someone looks different (or how their body works different) than you do it’s sad! you should do better!

When the time comes, Happy New Year from Team ORLA! Art by @sallycantirino.bsky.social, colours by @dearbhlala.bsky.social, letters by @letteringbear.bsky.social.

Half of progressive politics is Knowing Who To Be Mad At, and a lot of you bitches are flunking the course.

When did the world get so much uglier? It's getting so hard to leave the house if you're different. It's getting dangerous. Got harassed when I was buying vegetables for God's sake. #bigotry #lgbtq

I've got an alt account mainly for posts about my online comic, queer artwork and Resident Evil fan art bsky.app/profile/spir... So I don't flood this account with fan art and m/m stuff XD So don't panic if you see duplicate posts on that account. It's just me. #residentevil #fanart #comic #art

Just posting this so folks are aware that Jordan's an original character design of mine going back over a decade. Y'know, since a recent published work featured a similar character design. Not trying to cause a ruckus, just clarifying things :) #artwork #creative #comics #artpost #art

Had the frustrating experience of having editors personally letting me know how much they love one of my stories, praising the quality etc. But also apologizing that they cannot publish this particular short story because of the implication of a same-sex relationship. *sigh* #lgbt #writing #bigotry
