After her father disappeared in the line of duty clearing the Sleeping Wizards' shrine of monsters, Eliza has waited, and waited, and waited for her turn. But with the dangers within, one must be chosen in order to enter. Or just be good at breaking in🔦🪜 www.kickstarter.com/projects/iro...

Starting a ko-fi to fund the girliest TTRPG setting ever, I’m applying for a grant but need to have other income sources. Even a dollar will show there’s demand for my project!

I've been given the opportunity to revise and resubmit and honestly it's such a blessing. I wanted to do this anyway to make the pitch better.

Trainer Olivia wants to battle! I wanted to draw my niece as a Pokemon trainer for Pokemon's 30th.

When 7th-grade basketball prodigy Mikayla Thomas transfers to a new school and is denied a chance to make the team, she joins the co-ed team, the Firebirds. It's not the team she hoped for, but it may be just what she needs. Get ready for FAST BREAK, an OGN by me and @delartstuffs.bsky.social

I finally have my computer setup back in my office. The days are getting colder and it's much nicer to be in the office. I've completely rearranged it and I want to share some new stuff I've got going once it's a bit nicer.

First proofs of our cover! It's all so real now!

I got a new printer and so like, if anyone wanted to make me fanart of my characters I'd print it out and put it on my wall just saying

thank god for athletes who are also HUGE FUCKING NERDS

I had an amazing time at Geek Out for Pride in West Auckland! Thanks to everyone who came to say hi. My cup runneth over with good vibes!

Dang this is cool. I can't get lost in this tho. This comic is supposed to be full color.

I'm so upset that I haven't been using halftones more in my b/w work.

I just submitted application for my partner residency visa. It's the most money I've spent on a visa so far and definitely the most exhausting to prepare. But I have my admin girlie partner and the support of all of our friends. I'm overwhelmed and exhausted.

I can't really share much right now but I really want to share something! please enjoy this snippet of a cover for a graphic novel I'm pitching. Editors, my DMs are open.

This run of Powergirl and meeting Amanda Conner at C2E2 has meant so much to me and made me want to draw comics forever. I gotta read this run again. I'm also very gay and Karen is very pretty.

my mind says to work but my body is like "wtf it's a Sunday night you already did something please eat some of that chocolate/caramel slice and shut up" but I don't know what it means, you feel me?

well this is new. I don't think I've ever had a show reach out and offer me a table before. neat!

I wonder if some of my teachers expected me to quit art. to quit comics. I'm still kinda bitter about how they treated me and honestly, the spite fuels me.

Every time I go to draw a new portrait, I get a haircut.

I accidentally dipped my elbow in recently boiling water so we'll see how much burn damage I can take through the day before I die.

Every time I go to draw a new portrait, I get a haircut.

I always such at doing hourlies so I won't be participating. I am purely a reader today.

We went to Hahei over the weekend. Places like this help me understand why people like the beach. I like the beach so much more at the ocean than I ever did at a lake.

Somehow, the temperature on the fridge got turned all the way down and I didn't notice until this morning. So who knows how long it's been like that. I have no idea what's safe to eat. I had Indian leftovers and half a Costco chicken in there. UGH!

Hey all! The bills are piling up this month, so I'm looking to take on new editorial commissions!

I will never forget how an old, British IMMIGRANT voted for Brexit because they were scared of people IMMIGRATING. She didn't even live in England anymore.

I will say that I have saved a fortune on bus fares these past two weeks. 10 days of maybe $6/day. $60 ain't nothin.

Finally returning to the office after literally 2 weeks of sickness.

The ad I boarded is on TV! I actually boarded four of them in the same style. So cool to see it out in the world.

After being completely out of it for a week, I'm really hoping that I can light a fire this coming week. I'm also planning on applying for a very expensive visa at the end of the week so I'm a bit bloody terrified.

I've been sick since last Tuesday, still coughing on a Sunday, had the worst night sleep last night. I went to a&e yesterday, got some meds but no real answers as to what it is. Bronchitis, laryngitis? Something like that but not straight up said. I'm just tired. I want to draw but I'm too tired.

I don't know if I can afford to go to Alaska. Which is breaking my heart but I'm also scared to go back to the states. It's just hard. I don't know what to do.

I'm thinking about buying a cricut machine. If you own one, how do you feel about it?

feels like me literally sleeping all day yesterday is paying off because, while I'm not at 100%, I am much better today so far. we'll see where today takes us.

current “do you really want to draw this scene” list — if it doesn’t check any boxes, i make sure i know why it’s there (usually vibes)
