ofc Young Tiger should have a real name & a fake name. so might use it there (guy ambre). realistically, how much of this character's non-story will I have the time/energy to draw? who knows. maybe none of it. maybe it's more exciting in my head

yous like those shadows?

indian fast food girl reminiscing abt how she used to work night shift at a kfc during a london winter & didn't see the sun for 2 months. absent-mindedly pouring more sauce on the chaat samosa. yes, I say, that's so much sauce. like a pervert

drawing of the house

amber/ambre/ámbar should be a guy name too. I think it'd work

this is indeed exactly what happened

they're rivals about to team up against a greater threat

the ryanair online check in page is a crime against autistic ppl or really anyone whose brain demands things make sense. does the 23 kg bag exist?? or not?? has my publisher already paid for bags?? is there any way to know?? will have to re-pack my stuff or a stranger might yell at me in public

thinking abt Him

that's my dog. he stays at my mom's place which is also the address I use when someone asks me for an address & he is my placeholder in that physical space, in many ways superior to me

did not miss the train today but as I ran around the station trying to find the right escalator a small paper box containing a pair of v cute though not v expensive pastries fell out of my overstuffed tote bag. only noticed after I was already on the train. I hope someone eats them

now, months later. everyone is horny for the monster, who appears to be a very tall goth

I find the Austin from work emails podcast oddly soothing. also a bit terrified at the thought of ppl this media literate & thoughtful being in any way aware I'm making comics but that's a separate issue

UNLUCKY DAY, cont: trying to show a fan there is in fact a toad in the cat book. my third favorite page is missing. unsure how no-one noticed this earlier

unlucky day, cont.: there is no meat in this sausage, just layer upon layer of pig guts

Lovely Assistant

barely slept last night. someone reassure me I'll some day have an apartment in a city & like 3 friends in the same town. sort of losing my will to live

finally someone asked me to draw her

chinese food was so good restaurant was so loud. stuck in a mode of trying not to cry

constant rosalía lux ads all over são Paulo & paris have worked their magic on me. stranger & stranger things are being advertised in public. is the future happening again?? out of spite?? I hope so

haven't watched the show (prob fun if it's what you're into aesthetically, the target audience seems to like it etc) but this feels like a dimensional breach of fandom/tumblr aesthetics into the actual culture & I'm unsure wether I should be horrified or delighted

late announcement but, yes

my patreon is open 1ce more

“I Thought I Heard Your Voice Just Then” is a new eight-page comic drawn by @jlaguff.bsky.social and written by myself. You can read it below or purchase it on a pay-what-you-want basis on Itch.io (which I recommend, Bluesky compression being what it is): hagaipalevsky.itch.io/thoughtiheard (1/2)

I need to upset a bunch of ppl so that I too can have a security detail. that way there will always be someone around to have coffee with & discuss the issues

a gryphon, too

success as a comics person being when you get to like, maybe an even 50 percent, ideally

salt marsh A tribute to a small patch of vegetation on a local beach that has driven everyone completely insane

Romance the abstract idea, for the record, not Romance the genre. someone ought to come up w a new word so ppl don't get confused

I have a personal theory the way our society concieves of Romance (esp in fiction) is a bit boring & this is why most good ships out there are the ones originally written as intense friendships, rivalries etc.

inanimate to animate

torn between it being sort of fun coming up w a miserable backstory for this 1 character (damyun/tiger/whatshisname) & also feeling this is a symptom of every fictional guy these days having a Trauma & it ruining the mystery, otoh I'm not sure the guy himself thinks of himself as being traumatized

interesting doors:

being a semi-public figure & treating my followers as existential tech support. at least I'm not asking chatgpt

I mean, I agree, in a sense, but this is very rude

I wish there were literally anyone one could talk to abt this? if I apply for an endorsement while still traveling (from outside the UK) but then spend 10 days doing though bubble etc (in the UK), what does that count as. idk

if the legal ppl are v busy & not answering my emails should I just apply for the global talent visa on my own. idk. I have most of the materials I think they're mostly OK. just scared of getting caught on a technicality. but ik ppl are usually more forgiving than I expect them to be

ok am super sleepy. leaving for paris day after tomorrow. laying out the big drawings like they're trading cards. drew a cop. might have achieved a kind of invisibility. as per tradition: one pair of quirky earrings per town I visit

coming away from an art exhibition on themes like climate change territory community etc w just a vague jealousy the artist gets to live in LA

even on a good day, how does one portray this perfect corner. shinji kimura type bs

Patrons get weekly access to the process of my next project, a false materia medica titled "On the Preparation and Use of Medicinal Divinities". patreon.com/treelet

is this a normal ambient number of sao paulo cops or is the vibe in brazil currently a bit off
