Hyped to announce BEE'S GUIDE TO APPLIED ROMANTICS: a teen romcom graphic novel with an #asexual heroine!! 💜🖤 I'm excited to be making this with my friend Erica Eng. Bee loves all things romance but has never been asked out. When one of her BFFs asks her for help to win a crush... (1/4)

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO

just finished responding to everyone! could use a bit more though 💚

happy pride happy pride 🩷💜💙🩷💜🤍💛🩵

happy pride! I hope you can find ways to be with your community this month!! my personal three pillars of pride are the queer liberation march, the dyke march, and a mandatory day at NYC's historic queer & trans beach, jacob riis. here's a little 1-page zine I made about it:

should have been nominated for an Eisner, has one in my heart!!!!

An announcement :]

shayan santarrosa is a character inspired by many many people, but i would say one of the top notes, without even fully realizing it myself at times, has been matsumoto jun. the way he pouts. the way he tilts his head. the mole under his lip 💜

all my love to arashi & to my muse, matsumoto jun 💜💙💚💛❤️

i increasingly do not like the nature of social media. perhaps its because i'm a natural lurker, but i do not like the feeling of being on the opposite end...of giving people, even friends, one-way access to my life outside of my artistic work...i do not wish to connect in this way

recently fixed up sergio's old 2009 cybershot & ive been using it to take doll photos. i figured out how to break the manual white balance to get fun colors ♡

AUHHHHGG jamie thank you ♥️ i am so glad you enjoyed it & wept & liked my little freaks ♥️♥️

this planner is invaluable, i based all my 4 book schedules off this. i used it meticulously for YUMMY, but then it became intuitive by the time i was halfway into TASTY. these days, i negotiate contracts/deadlines based off the logic & go from there

Wait....CHECK, PLEASE!: YEAR 5 storyline teaser? 👀✨️ Thank you, @popversesays.bsky.social!

I’ve finally (FINALLY!!) updated my online shop!! Got the four Weekly Bun Life books on there, plus a Sweet Deal on all of em, plus Two of Us. hugbox.storenvy.com

𝚌𝚑𝚎𝚜𝚑𝚒𝚛𝚎 𝚌𝚊𝚝 🐈 ❋ 𝚚𝚞𝚎𝚎𝚗 𝚘𝚏 𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚜 ♥️ –– alex & shayan from my upcoming book FINDING MYSELF WITH YOU (2027)

i'm really loving inking finding myself with you ♡ this is one of my favorite panels so far ♡♡

re: studio proteus lettering: i am always trying to push my lettering in these scholastic books into a studio proteus hand drawn direction as much as i can/am able. you know, like, not for everything, but especially for characters yelling. it's really present in finding myself with you. it's fun~

2025 art & comix wrapped~ finding myself with you still has over a year before it comes out, but please enjoy these 8 tiny little squares ♡

inky screentone shayan~

my new comic is now called SWEET REVENGE ♥️ coming out next year! #comics #graphicnovel

i live, rather unwisely, off my advances (i have only had one book earn out & it doesnt make much yearly). mainly, i pool my advances into savings & pay myself in monthly stipends. i have a partner to split bills with & lean on when i need it, but i have paid my own healthcare so far

i make a point to not call any art i enjoy or make as "content" or the act of enjoying/experiencing anything as "consuming" ... it might seem like a small or insignificant thing, but the way we describe things does, in fact, affect how we think of them

hardly any websites to go to anymore that don't have a series of numbers attached to everything you see. wearing me down
