Cait! (Tealights in the sand ♪)

The Knife's 'Silent Shout' Turns 20 The voice doesn’t sound human. It doesn’t sound like one voice, either. It’s a distorted monotone chant that comes through in several registers at once. It’s a high-pitched whisper and a baritone rumb...

Wrote about the 20th anniversary of the Knife's Silent Shout, a truly great album that has not aged one second.

been busy fucking Going Through It™ recently but I think I might be ready to get back to drawing again? starting to feel the itch

Happy Valentine's day~ I'm running a bundle of all of my +18 comics & artbooks for 10 dollars total, a value that resembles a super delicious looking no strings attached fruit on a particularly beautiful looking paradise tree: itch.io/s/180368/val...

while you were studying the blade, i went to the store

damn, I love arto lindsay... i'm gonna have to check this out

They say imitation crab is the sincerest form of crab

It was peak.

Oh yeah, I didn't recognize your handle on here! Thank you *again*, then! 😅

I just have The Urge to draw these, it's always so nice when it really resonates with people 🤩

this is such a huge compliment, thank you so much!

Screenshot from Ranma 1/2 Ranma, pulling at her wet shirt: Well, guess it's fine if I’m like this today.

Akane: It is. I really don't mind how you look. Ranma: Hmm?

Akane: It doesn't matter to me if you look like a boy or a girl.

Ranma shocked face reaction

So the season 2 finale of Ranma aired the other day and they added a line to make Akane pansexual, or at the very least, Ran-sexual

Thanks, Roz! Turns out it's... good for my mental health?? So I've just been doing as much as possible lately 😅

Illustration of two young women on a couch, one (Paige) is comforting the other (Christine), who is collapsed and crying and muttering something illegible. Paige is yelling with angry tears in her eyes. "Shut up, Lorna!"

Drawing of Maria in the security room with Tabitha, Pippa, and Christine. It's the same composition as the Young Thug and Lil Durk meme

Sketch of hungover Paige, Christine, and Vicky waking up in bed from book 2 chapter 11. Christine says "because I'm cursed."

[**Light spoilers for some book 1 and 2 moments**]

For comparison, here are some older drawings with my "first idea best idea" Christine design (I still like these)

A drawing of a girl with her hair up in a messy ponytail and an oversized shirt draped over her pajamas. The shirt is falling off one of her shoulders and one of her arms is draped defensively over her torso. She has a look of gentle bemusement on her face. "Well, yeah. Saved me."

Black Friday retail hell totally killed my creative spirit but I'm back! I concentrated on reworking how I draw Christine so she's a little more legible / easier to draw from different angles and once I figured it out I kinda got on a tear 😅 Here's another one:

Illustration of a red-headed person in a smock talking with a girl sitting on the other side of a thick glass door. The girl is nervously fidgeting with her fingers. "Are you a trans woman?" "No. Sort of. Not really. It's complicated."

Yet more fanart for @badambulist.bsky.social 's The Sisters of Dorley. I love all these early scenes with Christine sneaking around in the basement; she fucked up so bad! Whoops!

Constantly wanting to show little sneak peeks of whatever I'm working on vs knowing innately that if my ADD senses a single drop of dopamine from the act of sharing, the drawing is immediately and permanently dead to my brain

this book fucked me up. highly recommend!

Ugh, I'm jealous you get to read it for the first time!

There's a bunch more on the dorleycord that I haven't posted here! (This app gives me panic attacks so I try not to get on it much 🥲)

Also, turns out I went off-model from my own WIP portrait of this character, I guess I'll figure that out later 😅

Early draft

Later pass

And some process and reference shots

Drawing of a boy, lost in thought, sitting in a darkened conservatory, surrounded by plants. His name tag reads "Aaron". A female figure stands in the open doorway behind him. The caption reads "I'd like to be someone else, if that's okay?"

Some more fan art of @badambulist.bsky.social 's The Sisters of Dorley. (One day my brain will let me draw something else again.) Really happy with this one

Gary Larson dropping Cow Tools in 1982

...aaand there's a really questionable transgender stripper punchline in the middle of the very last story in the collection. Lord 🙄

...and, rough as some of this stuff feels, it's still electrifying to see like, proto-Capsule Corp tech, or an alien who looks like Cell, or a girl who looks like Bulma pop up in these, or realize he took a whole separate first run at a Sun Wukong story a year before Dragon Ball. Really neat

Nearly done with the Toriyama Manga Theater collection of all his early minor works. Really heartening to see just how much he iterated on the same ideas and designs over the years -- Dragon Ball (and DBZ for that matter) did not emerge fully formed from nothing, but from hard work and repetition!

thats right baby my self indulgent lisa/allison art will be out there in the physical world
