Friday at last…

i’m getting my next two minicomics set up already but i think after this one i want to take like a weekly ish break and work on some illustration projects. still trying to figure out what my audience would want and where i fit etc.

perfecting lineart you’re happy with kind of feels like this

chat if you’ve used affinity publisher is it comparable to indesign? especially if i’m on pc. i’ve also lost access to a***e suite as a result of getting laid off and i was using that account to layout my comics in my spare time. lol

follow up on yesterday’s post about me getting laid off- would appreciate rep0sts on this right now so i can pick up something new! looking for freelance illustration as well as contract and full time work. portfolio: ritzvinskayaillustration.com email: [email protected]

this also comes on the heels of me having the worst month of my life where i’m constantly just nauseous and afraid so this is incredible performance from my former boss, really

okay, so, unfortunately i’ve been impacted by layoffs at my day job. i am now actively looking for work within toys, design, illustration, marketing, and art teaching positions- all things i have experience in. please pass my name on to someone who may have a lead for me, i’d appreciate it!

last weekend i took a workshop at @luckyrisograph in brooklyn and got to print an ethel cain piece i did in gold metallic on black! ⛪️ this was also my first finished riso print ever and i was really happy to get a refresher on the tech.

this year i didn’t draw much for myself or for freelance but i cut my hair, became single, started my gn, learned to drive, got diagnosed, and have a much healthier appetite than i did a year ago. finally feeling like my adulthood has begun and my haters can kick rocks :)

decided to sort the bookshelf in my studio today and realized i have a whopping FOURTEEN books in my backlog that i haven’t finished 😬

is anyone else having issues with twitter likes? i’m combining through and saving old artist resources on a google doc before i delete, but now my old likes straight up won’t load when i know i have, like… 2.4k left to comb through. what’s up with that?
