Erik made an anniversary post calling our vibes Debbie Jellinsky and Uncle Fester and while he did call me a murderer I found it very sweet.

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.

Anyway, I’ve been painting mice 🐭

i know i've been pretty quiet but here's the result of my January: a totally handmade, fully-functional marionette created for a local winter-themed puppet show. she's called the Winter Maw & she'll eat you alive, just like real winter

I APPROVED MY PROOFS book is gonna happen on april first for real. oh my god now i gotta promote it for real #books #writing #horrorwriter the real horror is in opening yourself to be known. And the spiders

I feel like I should go through all the absurdities of putting out this book on my blog. You can make a book yourself, I promise. I have at least one hundred "final final final for real this time" files for my cover, but it is real, and it is mine

i am glad i'm working on everything early because i saw my proof this morning from IngramSpark had a giant "RESTORED" on the title page because I had to work from a previous file when my formatting program crashed

Holy shit. I cannot overstate how touched I am to be featured on this list, and with such incredible fellow authors? Go check out the list and pick up any books on there you haven't read; you won't be disappointed.

People on Reddit are getting Amazon to refund their Ring products because of their partnership with Flock and that creepy Super Bowl ad www.reddit.com/r/FlockSurve...

I want it on the record of history that artists realized the harm immediately and were (and continue to be) loud bitches trying to stop the idiots who are out of their minds.

there's so much disrespect of romance writers and romance readers baked into the idea that AI-driven production of novels is 'better'. as if writing romance isn't skillful, hard and joyous work. as if romance readers aren't discerning, loyal and savvy.

I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

These two will be in print soon! Tillie and Ivan have a wonderful life, even though she's been dead for the past decade <3

the idea that making art is embarrassing if you don't do it well enough to make a career out of it is an objectively harmful and toxic brainworm.

I just finished setting up One Hundred Thousand Lives After Death with IngramSpark. Gonna have some proofs to look at soon. It's happening! #horrorwriter #books #self-publishing

Pretty frustrated that I'm getting more mustache hairs than gray hairs at 40. At least keep an even ratio, body

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum. Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

Who could be scared of a pretty girl in flowers? #criticalrolefanart #Laudna

i wrote a little bit about community in the notoriously cold PNW meganleebees.com/2026/02/05/t...

I really really hate learning new tools but oh my god everytime i open Word there's some brand new kind of bullshit distracting me from my work and I think I might have to switch to libreoffice and just commit to learning something new.

If you’ve ever considered going to a writing workshop for your novel, I’d recommend going to this one!

I wanted to make some stickers for the novella release and I'm really pleased with this design #horrorwriter #books #OneHundredThousandLivesAfterDeath

The inner peace that comes from seeing a bad take from someone you don't know and blocking them without looking into the rest of their deal cannot be overstated. I don't know you, and now i never have to 💕

Kelpie, now a 2 color risograph print. I looove how much texture came out in this print kendrap.com/shop/kelpie

One of the projects I am very excited about in 2026 is the anthology, ANIMAL NOIR from Little Key Press. Born out of a silly Discord discussion about killer geese, a bunch of authors decided to write stories about anthromophic animals in the same city setting, New Growl. Cover reveal below!

I have mispelled anthropomorphic so many times!! I am delighted to share pages with these amazing writers: @phoenixbourgeois.bsky.social @pensiv.art @shedric.bsky.social @meganleebees.bsky.social @hlfullerton.bsky.social @aphowell.com @ben-curl.bsky.social @bethannacook.bsky.social

Listening to the frozen 2 soundtrack with my kids rn and Erik reminded me of the time he pinpointed daughter's location in the house by singing Elsa's aria and daughter was compelled to sing it back to him. 😂

Not to be unkind, but I am so impatient about the “what’s the point of making my little zines/comics/crafts/art when the world is on fire” sentiments. I get it, but saving the world is not a responsibility shouldered by your art! That’s what being a neighbor, a friend, and hell, a citizen is for!!!

I scanned the sketch, tinted it to sepia tones in photoshop, printed it out on watercolor paper at a slightly larger size (12x16), and got the initial washes of color down. I did color tests in photoshop so I knew how to approach the tones. This is about an hour's worth of painting so far, I think?

Golly gee I'm painting again (work in progress)

Working on an asset for the back cover and I just really love how this turned out. #OneHundredThousandLivesAfterDeath #Horror #Illustration

I just realized I can turn the page break asterisks into spiders yaaay

Another pencil drawing I finished up that I'd like to get painted soon. 🧜‍♀️

BULLYING WORKS

i need authors and agents to be much louder with their publishers how much they hate gen ai and make it embarrassing/financially harmful for publishers to be associated with it at every level (incl marketing, publicity, and sales)

If you want to get better at drawing people fast the Morpho books are going out their weight in gold. If I had to recommend just one to newbies I would say this one: Simplified forms

Hey remember how all of Mississippi was blocked on BlueSky due to an age verification law?! They're going to try to do that in Washington State! COMMENT and CALL on this one! www.wired.com/story/bluesk...

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

If you’re gonna self-publish your book, NEVER use genAI for the cover. Doesn’t matter if every word in the book is your own. GenAI indicates cheapness, laziness, and that you don’t give a shit. And if you don’t give a shit, why should your readers? #WriterSky #WriteSky #BookSky #WritingCommunity

I drew some tiny hells while i listened to the first episode of #criticalrole campaign 3. Already having a great time with the rewatch <3 #bellshells #bellshellsrewatch

I am working on my cover design and I'm really happy with it. I am so used to feeling like "that's good enough" with my art, so it's great to actually be fully happy with the thing. I can't remember ever feeling this way about color work.

That time of year again!

illustration but I think in creative fields generally a lot of 'success' is just hanging in there as long as you can and it is natural that you'll make friends with people who have similar points of view on the industry and share your same irrational 'not giving up' mental illness

happy winter's crest 🖤💜 #criticalrolefanart @laurabaileyvo.bsky.social @marisha-ray.bsky.social
