Thread of ways to help those devastated by the LA fires:

taking a break to draw this... get deranged for a fictional character and let the teeny tiny plush you bought motivate you to get through the day

o!! thank you for the kind response to my brief mention of Love Me Like You're Real!! I'll have to post about it more soon — I'm only barely active on bsky, because I'm too busy drawing fan art on my side twitter acct ajdkjfklsdkl 🤭

#artvsartist2024 !! I manifested 2024 as the year of BL and then I drew a 90 page trans BL graphic novella ?!?! (please read Love Me Like You're Real 🥰) I feel like I went through a lot of artistic and personal growth this year, so I'm happy! here's growing even more in 2025!!! 😤💪

Mid-month reminder to apply for the CAG mini grant!! A little breathing room for the comics you want to work on most — whether that’s buying art supplies, paying for childcare or groceries, or closing commissions for a bit.

arielle is the most supportive friend ever 😭😭💞 please check out her gorgeous comics and illustrations!!!!

my one complaint about bsky so far is that the translate function is kind of atrocious (it shoots you into a new tab for Google translate, and the original tab refreshes to bsky homepage instead of staying on the post you're trying to understand?? I would like to stay please??)

my online shop will close in 24 hours 📣 I'm selling original comics, sticker sheets, and riso prints! and if you wanted to pick up any of my original comics, now is your last chance before I close the shop until who-knows-when 🤷‍♂️ ➡️ cynthiaycheng.bigcartel.com
