Happy #WebComicDay! It's the end of the 18th century and all our young hero wants is to get home to England in time to celebrate her 15th birthday. The only things standing in her way are haunted pirates, a rich asshole, and high expectations. PRACTICAL DEFENCE AGAINST PIRACY! tonycliff.com/dd4

fatness does not indicate health, but also: health is not virtue and no one owes you health.

I’m told my acceptance speech upset some of the BBC journalists who were in the room. I said what I said and it’s the truth 🤷‍♀️

feeling extremely famous because @felixmiall.bsky.social stumbled on a video with 200k likes where someone prominently discards one of my books for having too many words in it, which is fair honestly www.youtube.com/shorts/J9_jr...

Kinda tired of the "historians will say they're close friends" meme. Babe, we've been screaming about how gay everyone is for *decades*. Funding for history keeps getting cut as a result. There are entire moral panics about it. You just haven't read any history since highschool.

new illustrated adult short story is now out! a fun little side project I've been working on, with two messed up liars who end up obsessed with each other. Description, info & juicy previews at the links ✧ haridraws.itch.io/charlatans-1 ✧ www.patreon.com/posts/charla...

realising my taste in TV might be news to people who only followed me for the YA graphic novel

Name your top 15 TV shows ever, gut instincts only. I don't (can't) watch loads of TV*, but top 5 Star trek DS9 Interview with the vampire The terror Black sails (s2-4, you get it) Harlots

My very gorgeous and precious girlfriend is still raising money for FFS - we’re borrowing money to cover the shortfall right now, so please donate to help her cover the final few costs x

🌼Wildflower Washi Tape🌼 In tune with a sunny May Day, my new wildflower themed washi tape is now up in my shop! tiffbaxtershop.etsy.com/listing/4497...

Releasing a new comic today for Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum in Savannah, GA. What started as a research project about a colonial sailing vessel spiraled into a eulogy for a dead model ship builder. Stories often carry us where we need, but are afraid, to go. lucybellwood.com/new-comic-th...

I love horror but it can perpetuate some harmful stereotypes about mental health and neurodiverse people. Which is why I am thrilled to recommend Hello Sunshine by @keezyyoung.bsky.social which tackles it so well.

onto the bit of graphic novel where I'm inking a 19thC wheelchair, and starting to suspect I very much didn't simplify it enough

Frankly: I think you should back this because Jules is a brilliant cartoonist, and if you haven’t read Orlando before: it’s a banger.

spent the weekend by a loch. Trees just starting to come out

Wrote a long post on my tumblr about how if we all just got really into one form of weird and experimental art, our conversations about art would be so much better, and I thought I would share it here also

great episode, really well-expressed discussion about this ban at the start, but also on writing, victorian poets, gender, and art that's genuinely liberatory

When I put this on tumblr a few years ago, someone complimented me on the accurately drawn plantain (the weed not the banana) and thb I'm still riding that high

this week I'm inking the pages I mentioned: the most bad health day / PEM crash part of this current graphic novel.... while in a crash after my spring vaccine & wall painting on saturday. You'd think it'd add verisimilitude, but actually just means I'm going enormously slowly with 100 breaks

Last year I saw this wildly expensive wallpaper and thought, that’s ridiculous, if I wanted that I could do it myself. Anyway guess what I’m attempting this weekend

this was maybe the best event last year, this year looks ot be even better! time to get your applications in!

Forest study! I'm in love with how dense the underbrush is in the pacific northwest, and I want to be able to draw it so bad

Happy #TransDayofVisibility, here's a selfie of me looking tired but still surviving this morning 🌞 plus my books, most of which have trans, GNC and/or nonbinary leads. If YOU 🫵 are also trans, I'm sending you love and strength in these grim times, you're not alone

So excited to reveal to everyone the absolutely incredible 2026 poster created by @mortiscausa.bsky.social 😍 We can't wait to welcome you all back to the DoubleTree this August to celebrate everything sequential and small press!

Seeing "trans kids given deadline to segregate themselves" and "trans women banned from yet another part of society" headlines *every single day* while everyone you know and every organization stays breathtakingly silent takes such a damn toll on your heart.

i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!

part of an essay i am writing

playing pokopia as intended: RPing being trapped and trying to dig my way out of a pyroclastic deposit

listen I actually strongly DO want to see high budget fantasy lesbians in the highlands. and have opinions about it

making a Large Drawing by putting together several small drawings

might put reviews of some things I'm reading in a thread, for anyone interested #trr26 #transrightsreadathon I think goodreads links won't work for people without accounts any more (TERRIBLE!!!) so, screenshots till I work out something better

ok I didn't realise I'd be getting a copy myself (I never even got some of the promo print art I drew for my OWN book lol) and they're SO nice in person

I basically never get to sign the fancy US hardback of I Shall Never Fall in Love, but there's now ONE up for grabs in the @trreadathon.bsky.social charity auction, which just went live www.32auctions.com/organization...

almost halfway through the book I'm working on!!! WIP drawing from the current chapter #art

Diary comics thread for hourly comics day ✏️ intro/9am #hourlycomicday #MEcfs #ChronicIllness

Let's kill "comics are a gateway to reading" dead please?

Something so delightful to me about seeing my repressed extremely-British characters translated into Italian #books

if YOU are doing Trans Rights Readathon (I am, more info next week) or simply looking to read more fun things with trans people in, here's a reminder my books exist and an excuse to shout out some books I really enjoyed. Thread ⤵️ #TransRightsReadathon #trr26

I've developed a rule for reading and writing #romance and #romantasy: the "hot people make bad romance" rule. If your romance wouldn't happen if the characters weren't physically attractive, I'm bored. The *dynamic* needs to be sexy, not the bodies.
