*Warning for comic about open wounds* My dad's health is on swift decline, and there was a hectic month where my sister and I alternated going home to help mom with changes in his care. It was eye-opening on many fronts. Anyway, my mom's a frickin' superhero, as are all full-time caretakers.

The emotional stages of listening to the pigeon chapter of Elvira's autobiography. I'm irrevocably scarred.

I read a lot of self-help books, not looking for help healing as much as help understanding why humans do what they do. I read this article in the New York Times today which seems to be holding fast to the “everybody thinks about themselves too much” sentiment, and I have thoughts. Many thoughts.

My shirt design for But I'm a Cheerleader is up on RAWPAW in association with Hyperreal Film Club. Preorder runs from today to 9/22. If they sell more than 10 of my design then it'll get screen printed. If it does well, I could land one of their top tier prizes. rawpaw.ink/collections/...

I share a bday with my grumpy cat, Ficus, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Things are kinda tight this month 🥲 I've got prints if you'd like to help! ✨ www.inprnt.com/gallery/mart...

This week marks my 2nd year anniversary of sobriety! It's still the right fit for my life, and has resulted in filling my knock-off Stanley cup with everything else under the sun. This ADHD millennial is never NOT drinking some kinda liquid.

I have fallen so hard for this character and it was great fun to indulge in some of my fave Keefe fits. The costume dept deserves every award for this show. He's giving female gaze meets ex-satanic goth meets born again Christian meets Korean runway meets gay crop tops meets bdsm and it WORKS.

This is truly criminal. I'm trying to stretch these works like a lifeline.

I'm late to The Righteous Gemstones, but I blew through the show the second I fell in love with Keefe Chambers and these two ding dongs' love. Happy Pride!

Day 4 of 30 Days of Starlight Brigade! Today we have some very early colour and character concepts by India Swift (@doigswift.com) and Elle Power!

Happy Friday, y'all. Don't forget your little treats!

Triangle could have looked very different, BBS(Big Bad Stag) as well! We explored a variety of synthwave inspired styles before landing on the iconic shape motif shared among the entire cast.

Was happy to draw some sweet moments of dearly departed Newton for @rasplejax.bsky.social and @samueldeats.bsky.social. He was such a special gentleman. ❤️❤️❤️

That series is so good and the first episode has me shook to this day. Homeboy set it the fuck off.

A tale of two movies: Similar deal structures. Similar budgets. One made $45M from 3300 screens, post pandemic, and won the weekend. The other made $41M from 3600 screens pre-pandemic, and placed second. And yet this is the coverage.

Good friends tease you about your celebrity crushes, but I still stand by Pati.

I stopped promoting it on Twitter because the algorithm punished external links, but maybe bsky is different. If you’d like to support an independent sci fi animated series pitch trailer, check out my Patreon. $2.50-$5 tiers! Access to the production discord server! www.patreon.com/PALATINEshow...

Just some furry ladies cuttin' a rug.

Was honored to be tasked with drawing my pal @adamdeats.bsky.social and their dearly departed Blanche as a surprise birthday gift from his lady @swampwitchac.bsky.social. I got to meet the little nugget and can confirm she was something special. ❤️

Because if I stopped moving or yapping, I'd have to face the gaping holes in my life. The last 2 interactions were just this week and I sat back and thought, "Wow, you're fooling everyone!"...and quickly re-signed up for therapy. 💪

This one was a real challenge! But it's worth the effort for an opportunity to animate Drolta! #CastlevaniaNocturne

I've waited long enough to post this! Had a lot of fun animating this shot, and working with @samueldeats.bsky.social gorgeous layouts! #CastlevaniaNocturne

My hourlies for Hourly Comic Day 2025! As usual, many many hours late. #hourlycomicday #hourlycomicday2025

These three always deliver entertainment, but it has been their political navigation and breakdowns that have given me such helpful perspective. Recognizing that This Shit absolutely stinks, and it's fair to lose our shit, but we have to take care of ourselves or we ain't shit to anyone.

Animations by Camille Chao for the trailer of "Sibylline, chronicles of an escort girl" graphic novel by Sixtine Dano (now available in french bookstores).

FYI google have now stopped "-ai" working at the end of your search string. So put this at the end (after a space) instead: &udm=14 Fuck you #google. #AI

All of my life I have been a full-bodied hot pocket, but the last year hands my and feet are operating on a different thermostat. Not a fan.

Loved making this one

Quick draw what you’re wearing, 5* minutes max (yes, i've been working at my standing desk on a rebounder trampoline...)

Saw this today and now want to watch with everyone I know. It's quick with the belly laughs from the nature of the game, but soon turns to the struggles of how To Be in a world within a world that is experiencing a dangerous pandemic.

Can we please get more animated dinosaur fighting movies. I’ll do anything

my fav screenshots from the in-progress animated series pitch trailer I'm working on with some of my favorite artists. @mrmiguelart.bsky.social @buddhabojam.bsky.social @ashleylange.bsky.social

Anyone who parallels Zuko IS a big fat hero. #arcanespoilers #arcanefanart #arcane #atla #atlafanart

TODAY'S THE DAY. My friends and coworkers worked their butts off on this season to deliver the "bloody brilliance"! Go go go!

My mom asked for a commission of a family friend's dearly departed good girl, Stella.

A NEW TRAILER for Castlevania: Nocturne Season 2 is out, too!! You can check it out here if you haven't seen it: youtu.be/AlHrhysomJo?...

Key art for Castlevania: Nocturne Season 2, back in Netflix January 16th!! 🦇🦇🦇🦇 I'm so happy I got to do a few pieces this season... Hope you enjoy the first of em. 🥰

Watched some of the ReBoot doc and was reminded Dot Matrix was definitely an early crush of mine. Mouse's design is absolutely bonkers, but I believe she'd flirt with anyone. Hit an art slump I'm trying to dig out of. This didn't help terribly, but had to get it out of my system. #rebootfanart

Kicking myself for not first watching Arcane s2 with my good headphones. I'd still have the same script gripes, but, by golly, this show has some of the most satisfying sound design.

This will change from minute to minute, but here's a list of my fave movie experiences of 2024 (in no particular order).

I'm happy with my 2025 being more queer. What film is defining your year?

I wasn't a fan of the first, but I'm glad I watched Smile 2 after hearing a lot of praise for Naomi Scott's performance. Holy cow, she killed it. I was watching with headphones, and both my cats skedaddled off the couch when I began yelling "NONONONO" at the end of the horror choreo.

I just disrupted family breakfast when an orange juice commercial came on using the If Beale Street Could Talk score. I'm glad people are getting paid for good music, but that was some emotional whiplash.

I am very merry over everyone's response to my recent fanarts. I discovered that when I draw for my own fangirl heart, it finds its way to the right people. I hope I can continue this gay old time, and am thankful for all who love fictional characters as much as I do!

the wet bandits

I named this file "side hustle" and I don't think there's much more to say. Except that I had way too much fun with these pair-ups. #legendofkorra #korrafanart #arcane #arcanefanart #wlw #comic

I got inspired to draw a new Kajillionaire piece since I'll be lucky enough to talk about it tonight at queer film theory. More people need to know the slow burn of Mel and OD. #kajillionaire #mirandajuly #ginarodriguez #evanrachelwood #olddolio

I'm at the age where once a workout does a set on the floor, that better be the last set before the cool-down/stretch.
