It's that time: ShortBox Comics Fair is here! Over 140+ all-new, original comics created by artists from around the world, gathered exclusively in one place -for October only! And it's all online, with all digital comics: no shipping, no waiting, no travelling. www.shortboxcomicsfair.com

24 remaining slots! Thank you so much for your purchase! If I can get at least 20 of these sold in the next 3 days we will survive under this roof another month. Let's do this! I'm ready to send them to you as soon as you purchase them. If you want to see them all here's a chance for half the price.

I'm grumpy that Amtrak doesn't have a commuter train that operates between Phoenix and Tucson... the only available train this weekend is on Sunday, which does not help when I want to go to Tucson on Saturday! 😔

Does anyone care is almost never the right question. People care. The issue is that people don't know what to do.

I DID IT!!! I got my sewing machine set up today and made my sewing room semi-functional. It was tough to not get caught up in doing more decluttering and organizing but... I really have missed sewing, and can work more on organizing in the future. Eventually I want to upgrade my sewing chair.

There are about two weeks left until the draw to win a custom critter drawing from me on October 10th! I have already seen so many amazing submissions and have loved every single one of them, so thank you so much to everyone who already participated! 💛💛💛 #DTIYS #cuteart #animalart #ocArt #art

It's about to go down! Check out our current vendor list: www.wizd-az.com/pzfblog/intr... #pzf25

Working an event-based gig comes with some serious income whiplash. I'd love to draw your silly little guys to fill in the gaps!

I have found a quilt pattern I am really excited to try, and it's really motivating me to get my sewing machine set back up this weekend (for realsies this time, I know I have said it before but for real for real this time)

Shana tova u’metuka / Good and sweet new year this Rosh Hashanah Did you know griffins were important symbols for Medieval German Jews?

Local Comic Book Shop Day! This weekend! Sept 27th! I'll be hawking my wares at Samurai Comics Phoenix from 11-5 to celebrate. You should come check it out. Buy some books. (Don't even have to be mine). Samurai Comics: 1602 E Indian School Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85016 stores.comichub.com/samurai_comi...

Me: wow! Making art for a contest is a fun way for me to make something different and the external deadline is great motivation! Me, when I lose: ......sigh........nooo... :( Also me: guess I'll remix this art for personal use!

Oof... we're back up to 102 today and 105 tomorrow 😭 Let me have cool weather please!!!

Happy fall equinox from Central Arizona! 🍂🌞 #comic

Happy autumn equinox! ✨🍁🦇🍄‍🟫🍃🦔 Here’s a little autumn critter parade to wish you an invigorating and beautiful fresh season ahead 🧡🦝🍂🎃 I painted this a little while back using gouache paints, which I don’t use very often, hoping to experiment with them more soon! 🎨

I returned to work this past week after two months off from medical leave. A library patron I helped earlier in the year with their first quilt stopped by today and told me they are almost done with their second, and was working on their third quilt!

My PSD's can get really chunky as I usually have anywhere between 10 to 100 layers depending on the project 😂 Even if I worry I might need to change something in the future, it's nice condensing the layers to something more manageable

It's been really gratifying to flatten old PSD and Procreate files as a way to "declutter" digitally.

One of our most popular tees of the year is back and here to stay, available now in the Yeteemart; TRANS RIGHTS!!! This tee features an energetic design by @kduffles.bsky.social with $6 from each tee sold donated to Transgender Law Center theyetee.com/transrights

Tonight I referred print bleed as "paper seam allowance" and I had a hardy chuckle about that.

We're thankful to Dean Spade for lifting up prison pen-palling. As more and more people, especially trans and disabled people, migrants, and BIPOC, are criminalized and incarcerated, we need to hold them down. Almost a third of our numbers are trans and many are very isolated Tinyurl.com/AMP-learn

Art motivation 💪

Days 14 & 15 of #Sharktember: The idea of the shark with a sparkler came to me abruptly and demanded painting. Nothing says summer to me quite like the smell of fireworks on the air. Spring shark with a fresh cut bouquet of flowers is ridiculous and I enjoy her. #sharks #watercolor #art 🐙

I think quite a few of us [the us is specific] actually have to reclaim our time for our health and in order to also continue to have the energy to keep struggling for different/better.

This emoji mashup is deadly, I wouldn't want to be poked by this cursed blade! 😈🪡 🗡️ Thank you to those who said hello yesterday at Community Day! I managed to trade one card away. If any mutuals would like to do an art trade, let me know! Otherwise I am thinking of offering these as commissions.

I'm not going to be scolded for failing to mourn the shooting death of a man who demanded shootings be an acceptable part of American life. I'm not going to feel bad for being desensitized to the gun violence he demanded we become desensitized to.

Got permission to post this; one of the trans women who was assaulted last week by a gang of anti-trans creeps has a gofundme up to help her with medical and survival costs while she recovers from a concussion. If you're able to help, please do. www.gofundme.com/f/help-a-tra...

Have been tagged in to provide the reminder about traumatic video because of the Charlie Kirk shooting video going around! 1. Settings -> Content & Media, turn off "autoplay video" 2. Keep your device sound off while browsing so an accidental activation won't include the sound

excellent. MORE OF THIS.

Please give and share. She deserves more than what she’s asking for. Let’s get Madi to truly focus on her recovery. 💸💵 gofund.me/fb2a522a1

At least a highlight from tonight was getting a box of books from the closet, finding a box of random stuff, and somehow my Posca paint markers were in there (I've been looking for them for over a month!)

Today's declutter side quest was unpacking my books and then getting stuck on what to do with self-published materials gahhh. I can try reselling some of them, even though idk who would buy them. I've been dreading going through my zine collection but at least makes me want to host a zine swap.

I have been slowly working my way through tidying and cleaning my craft/sewing room... longing for the day I can get my sewing machine back up, I have so many sewing and quilting ideas right now!

I gave my partner their belated birthday present today! It is us as cats - we joke that they have orange cat energy and I have black cat energy. This was a fun project to draw and they loved it! #art #cat
