Last night’s SFWC Sip & Stories went by so fast I forgot to take photos 😭. I had a blast tho! Met writers, story enthusiasts, and book sellers in this packed 2hr event. I think I spent more time chatting with people away from my table than at it. 😆

We've hit the 2nd stretch goal! Beyond the Road Kickstarter ends in just a few days (Feb 17)...!

Hey, friend - Anyone who is threatened or intimidated by how amazing, brilliant, and wonderful you are isn't worth your time. Find the people who give you the support and resources to succeed, who open doors for you, who celebrate your wins. I'm sure that you'd do the same for those around you.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Following the Sunday high, the Beyond the Road Kickstarter is only $70 away from its 2nd stretch goal! 💃 🚐 kck.st/3LTJumg If you’re interested in this graphic novel, back while it’s still live! Kickstarter ends next week!

I would have totally shown up for this if I knew 😍🇵🇷💃

A fun side effect of running a Kickstarter is meeting awesome comic creators on the same path! Here’s a few that caught my eye! - A Simple Request - Hextle Comics - No Future 1&2 - Fairsquare Graphics - White Ash 1-10 - Charlie Stickney & Conor Hughes - Growing up on the Spectrum - Tess Langston 1/5

We hit the 1st stretch goal on Sunday 🙌 Now at the start of week 2, it looks like we’re nearing the 2nd one as well! 😮 I always get excited when my phone pings me with a new Kickstarter update. 🤗 Thank you to all the backers so far! This is really amazing!

I just backed Beyond the Road – A Graphic Memoir by @thispapercloud.bsky.social on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/thi...

Beyond the Road’s Kickstarter may be reaching a Stretch Goal?! The graphic novel fully funded in 1 day 🤯, and now we’re <$100 away from the first stretch goal! 🤯🤯 #kickstarter #comickickstarter

🤯 OMG... we're funded! In 1 day?! 🤯 OMG thank you so much! I'll post an update on Kickstarter shortly. But so exciting! Beyond the Road is getting printed!

Five jobs I’ve had: - UX designer (longest era) - assistant games producer (2nd longest) - Unpaid 2D illustrator & animator for an indie documentary - student computer lab assistant - hostess at a breakfast diner

Oh wow! We are past the $1k threshold and then some… 🤯🙌😍 Only…. ~$300 left before we hit our goal! #kickstarter

Kickstarter for Beyond the Road is live!!! 💃 🚐 Thank you to the ones who helped me get to this launch day…! Regardless if you plan to back, check out the campaign page! There’s a lot of info and graphics (and a video!) worth looking at! www.kickstarter.com/projects/thi...

Thank you Fanbase Press for the interview about Beyond the Road. We’re 1 day away from the Kickstarter launch!

My Kickstarter for Beyond the Road launches in 2 days (Jan 28). I've been hesitating to say anything today about it in light of the recent news. It's been a consistently dark situation, but we've gotten to the point where we can't ignore the writing on the walls. So I'll say this: (1/2)

We’re 1 week away from Beyond the Road’s Kickstarter launch! I’m excited, scared… and really hope I know what I’m doing! Running a Kickstarter is a lot of new-ness. And it’s been a long creative journey to get to this point!

A "turning point" in my graphic novel, Beyond the Road. Shortly after a flare-up, I attempted to hike the windy hills of Fort Ord in California. I was in survival mode, focusing on my feet when, due to Titan's chaos, I stopped to look up and only then saw the gorgeous landscape around me.

Hi #portfolioday! I’m Theresa, illustrator & graphic novelist. I draw character-driven stories mixing linework + painterly light. My work explores quiet emotion + personal moments with a lean towards fantasy. 😁 Just wrapped Beyond the Road - now on Kickstarter! Open for inquiry. #portfolioday2026

Excited to see my friend at Fanime this year 😍

Needed a break from all this Kickstarter prep for Beyond the Road… Meet one of my OCs. Serra - a half-elf dragonic bloodline sorceress whose details I can’t currently pull from my tired brain. A traveler with a highborn past. Originally made for BG3. Hoping to player her in a D&D game one day.

It's official. "Beyond the Road" launches on Kickstarter on 1/28! 🙌 This is the project I spent all of 2025 drawing. Kickstarter will help fund the FIRST PRINT RUN! Excited to be making this real! Use the "Notify Me" button on the page to follow along! www.kickstarter.com/projects/thi...

I bought myself a manga inking kit (dip pen & nibs with test illustration cards) and decided to play a bit. It’s a lot easier to use than I remember! Or else muscle memory kicked in. 😄 I will note the included (deleter?) paper makes a huge difference. Less snagging and stray fibers in the pen…!

Here’s to 2025! I like seeing these collages from the art accounts I follow, so wanted to create one too. I was primarily working on Beyond the Road last year, but did do a couple of character illustrations (mostly for D&D 😍).

It’s the last day of the 2025 year…! I did a blog post reflecting on all the highlights from the year as well as made a semi-announcement regarding Beyond the Road. www.thispapercloud.com/2025/12/30/e...

Parents are in town for Christmas and with mom comes mom food. I am spoiled. This is just day 1! 😋

RIPPLE EFFECTS is an Eisner & Harvey Awards-nominated Graphic Medicine series that explores life as a superhero with an invisible disability - available in print as a softcover with a foreword by Harvard Medical School’s @noethematt.bsky.social! fanbasepress.ecrater.com/p/39178444/r...

Cafe sketching on a rainy day. I forgot my white pen, but found an old speck of titanium white gouache on my palette so rewetted and used that instead. 😅

🚐 The comic is complete! All the pages of Beyond the Road have been drawn 🎉. I guess next steps is… printing! Gonna be brainstorming this part a bit.

I was wondering what happened to all my lamination sheets.... But wow! As a DM, I'm going to have fun testing these out in our next Daggerheart session! #ttrpg #dnd #daggerheart

Unicycle riding party of chaos goblins traversing a jungle in Imarian - live D&D show at Fan Expo SF today. The improv singing is amazing 😂 !

Watched the 1st 3 episodes of Mighty Nein and wow… this show is like, Avatar the Last Airbender levels of good. I’m both angry and impatient that I have to wait a week for the next episode. 😆 Non CR fans are going to love this as much as the Critters. IMHO. 😍

#TitanPom is unhappy that he couldn’t eat any 💔

How do you procrastinate? Me? I decided to try baking an “apple rose tart”. A gluten free, dairy free (and hey! I think this ended up vegan too!) apple rose tart. Into the oven it goes. Pls come out okay…. 🙏

I'm 2 sessions into DM-ing my 1st Daggerheart (and first TTRPG) campaign and really enjoying building out the world. I feel like I want to record the table adventures somewhere. Do people share their adventuring stories anywhere?

D&D night and my brain is distracted….

So not only did Affinity go "freemium" (which always has caveats), they stopped allowing you to purchase the previous version with the universal license a month earlier. :(

When you work near a busy intersection and decide to keep the windows open, you get to hear just how many assholes exist in the outside world. 🚗 🚓🤬🗯️🚦 🏎️ 🚖🚘🚔

Game was a lot of fun! Had some technical issues with Foundry VTT (FYI it’s buggy on Safari), but it great getting to play with Ari in a haunted house 🎃 #DnDArt

About to play my first @startplaying.bsky.social 1-shot today - took the time to draw portraits for my (tiefling rogue) and @ancientbuho.bsky.social's (halfling wizard) characters before the game! Hoping this one goes well! 🤞 #dnd #dndart #ocart #dndoc #ocsky #skyart

TIL resizing & compressing in certain applications can blend out a lot of details. Case in point - My D&D character’s portrait, before photo adjustments and after.

After several months of drawing in solitude, I've hit a huge milestone and finished drawing the pages for Beyond the Road! Here's a little blog post about that experience #comics #blog

Haven’t really been on BSky in awhile because of my little drawing hermit mode. But look at that scrollbar! I am sooo close! Hope you will like what I’ve been working on..!
