apparently the wind storms have been blowing in dirt and dust from america... hi 👋🫪

i was one of the winners of this grant last year and i am eternally grateful for the help it provided me while dealing with disability and housing instability as a comic artist. i highly recommend applying for this opportunity. :-)

i have weird art sharing anxiety, but since 2026 i've been sharing more WIPs and personal doodles and it's helped build my confidence. and to no one's surprise, i also get more attention via engagement both online and irl 😭

pretty sure that by the end of 2026/beginning of 2027, i will have sold out the original print run of the tallest star in the sky 🫣

since it is aapih month, i would like to say that abuse (physical, emotional, financial, etc) is neither cultural, regional, or genetic. i know it's common to joke about, but the reality is that we are not culturally predisposed to violence. we also don't have project arduous struggle to accept it.

thrilled that this comic is announced!! It's been such a joy to draw this story 🌻🌸🌱

ghostface pt 2 is going to feel very different from 1. i'm working on this like why am i even using ghostface as a romantic interest? i should replace them with an originally designed lesbian or something...

miffy has no tail?

The Crane Rider's Tale is a fantasy mystery game with wild twists, 5 endings, and a cast of wacky characters inspired by Chinese folktales. We're 85% funded on Kickstarter right now. Less than 17 days left to help us reach our goal!!

Pleasee check out one of my bestie's games, she's been working really hard on it and I swear it's awesome so far!! The project just needs a little more push to its goal 🥹

one of my nephews is half mexican and calls everything poyo (?) it's so cuteeeee my cousin said he's calling everything chicken 🐣

Adult content helped build Kickstarter. It helps build most of the big sites on the web, only to get evicted once the business settles into the positions smut built for them. It has every right to exist and its creators deserve to participate in the social spaces their work developed.

You know what, I'll go one further and say that in an economy of fraud and theft, it's ludicrous to evict a whole sector of artists and performers who genuinely, unequivocally create things people want to buy. Absolutely plotless behavior.

everything social on the internet will continue to be Nationalism, Conspiracy, or Gambling so remember to spend lots of time exploring arts and crafts away from people congregating on the socials

kind of concerned with the fact that i saw a convenience store with a sign saying they will not let anyone wearing a mask inside. i understand the fear of theft, but thefts happen without medical masks, such as many of the thefts happening today and prior to 2020...

i think the heart is super important

i used to be like “wow it’s kind of unrealistic that the marines in one piece all wear big jackets that say ‘JUSTICE’ on the back” and then i’ve driven a few ppl to prisons to visit their loved ones and every single one says “JUSTICE” as you drive in. sorry oda u were correct as always.

Wait until you hear about how much money the police bleed

We could easily feed, house and provide healthcare to everyone many times over. Overpopulation arguments ignore the elephant in the room, which is the unequal distribution and consumption of resources. The earth can support billions, but it cannot support billionaires.

regular commissions. i'd also just love some horror, gothic, or gorey commissions :3 dm / email [email protected]

birthday ✌ im 29 ~ a kind of commission i really want to take on is little guys in big background 👁 this would be sooo cute for a dnd party i think :3 $600-$700 CAD including up to 3 characters, +$50 for additional characters/creatures

toronto: my harm reduction crew has 7-10 boxes of n95s for those looking for some. we can distribute them for free, like all of our harm reduction kits, supplies, and literature

This is why I cringe when people talk about “how well” the industry is doing. For a select few, this is a very lucrative business. With no functioning working class in the arts, we do not have a healthy industry. This echoes my sentiment that most people who are full time have safety nets.

WotC declined to voluntarily recognize our union by Friday, May 1st. While we're disappointed in this delay, together we remain strong in our convictions. We look forward to sitting down at the bargaining table so we can make Arena better for workers, for Wizards, and for our players. #UWOTC-CWA

Looks like I was wrong about the deadline for NHK's Comiket documentary. Comiket's English Twitter account stated it would only be available until May 3rd but the website itself states that it will be online for a full year. So that gives you plenty of time to still watch this fantastic video.

The "out of the way swine" comic is great but this is the best comic strip of all time

When I say I wish Richmond Lewis colored more comics, I am talking about not only Batman: Year One, but also her work on Sienkiewicz in The Shadow. GENUINELY mesmerizing stuff 😭😭😭 Trying to look at this to learn comics coloring better, myself :)

I launched an indie webcomic hosting platform several months ago that offered a free and a $4/mo paid plan. This was purely to cover the cost of the infrastructure. But in seeing it grow, I'm no longer worried about the cost. So yeah Webcomic Studio is now free. webcomic.studio

cafe doodles and ruining my chances if home ownership with avocado toast.... 😭

they just submitted a grant application at least an hour before the deadline rather than 2 min ♡

i've been getting more folks telling me about this and it's not anything i agreed to. it's been stolen like AI steals. please vandalize it if and when you see it.

My other hot take is that valuing art on just effort and technical skill is designed to placate people who are skeptical about the value of art to begin with - and realism and detail happen to be the areas where those are demonstrated most clearly to the layperson and can be measured objectively

Fledgling in the garden!

when do the unique experiences end ????

i belong in a movie theatre forever basically

i fuvking love film festivalsss

I'm at CAKE right by the entrance!! Come say hi!!

should i apply for MICE again 🫪 i'll have a new mini comic finished about migrant workers around then😳

Happy May Day to the more than 30k workers of Winnipeg who shut the city down for six weeks in May & June, 1919. Especially the non-union "hello girls" of the city telephone exchanges who were the first to walk off the job, and those who were brutalized, jailed & killed by police.

what reading mao's writing is like

the illegal drilling will affect the second largest city in south dakota water supply and has already desecrated sacred land to my nation. my family drinks that water, my baby nephews drink that water. please call 605-343-1567 to demand the forest service to rescind their permit

FAUK bell!!! they're the ones building the ai data centre near my city

It is my pleasure to finally announce that my colleagues and I at Hachette Book Group are unionizing! We're asking for any authors, artists, and fellow workers of the world to stand in solidarity with us, and sign our open letter of support at hachetteworkers.com/open-letter

the Sacramento zoo has 6 BABY CAPYBARAS

Our second Digital Comics Residency will be open for submission May 31st! Time to get your pitches together! Read more about our program here: cartoonist.coop/digital-resi... Art by @semoart.bsky.social

the romanticism of the starving artist is invoked not by artists but by people who aren't. it's misery/inspiration porn functioning as propaganda for people to feel like it's a worthwhile sacrifice for artists to die in misery instead of horrific, because they can take the art for themselves.

i imagine the gege akutami cyclops cat in a dark romance with tatsuki fujimoto heart frequently.

This is why it's important authors read a lot, Murakami has no idea this has been done already
