I've spoken about my time with Hiveworks on Patreon in the past, but I'm struggling to get my thoughts together succinctly today. My experience is on par with what has been described in the letter. It ultimately led to the long term hiatus of Anarchy Dreamers. Please support the former HW creators.

For anyone who ever wanted to know why I left Hiveworks, please read this. My friends and peers there were amazing - and their vast reserves of hard work and creativity were used and abused in so many ways. We came together to share our stories, and thank goodness we did. Thank you for listening.

Riiser is an excellent documentarian who has covered webcomics for over a decade.

It's been a long ten years and I finally get to talk publicly about what happened behind closed doors. Please take the time to read this letter and please avoid working with these people. You are more valuable than an opportunity for people like them to use you as cash cow for your work. 🧵

along with this letter and its warnings please consider this additional takeaway: if something feels off, if you feel disrespected or stonewalled or exploited--talk to your peers about it. it's very likely you aren't alone. and thank you for reading.

So much for indies when you leave creators’ works for not being profitable. No wonder she gets so hated

The Hiveworks Artist Guild has released a public statement alleging years of labor abuses, financial mismanagement, and misconduct at Hiveworks at the hands of Xellette “Xel” Velamist and Isabelle “Isa” Melançon. Read their full statement at: cartoonist.coop/hiveworks-gu...

In 2025, I ran out of space to store my back stock, which limited how many new books and shirts I could make or keep on-hand. Today, I moved my back stock into a warehouse! I now have tons of space to store and pack things, which is great, because I'm making STUFF in 2026! #smallbusiness

Merry Christmas from me and Mari! ✨

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country… Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year. And America shrugged and moved on.
