Iโ€™m good on that front. Just want to know if Inprnt is a decent venue for Print on Demand.

Iโ€™m looking for a low maintenance passive income.

In another life time. I've dabbled in comics but not in a long while.

Those were the European witch trials. Salem was more Ropey.

This is so cool. I love how loose and graphic it is.

Oh my god I typo-ed. "Did You HEAR* What Happened in Salem?"

โ€œDid You Heat What Happened on Salem?โ€, the book I illustrated written by Katie Kennedy comes out in less than a month and thatโ€™s hard to believe!

Everyone really liked this one, huh. Gonna dedicate the rest of my life to painting miniature acrylic ducks.

Itโ€™s a thing. The ones I painted were among 150 left hidden all over my house by my sister when she came to visit this summer.

It's just taking a time out. It has trouble regulating its emotions so when it's calm it can come back and play with the others.

Ah. Yes itโ€™s a physical painting but Iโ€™m

4 tiny acrylic ducks and a drawing pencil gives scale to them. Each duck is about the size of a blueberry

Yes! They are small but they are many.

My sister does this all the time. She hid over 300 in my parentsโ€™ house last summer and theyโ€™re still finding them, and she and my kids hid 150 or so in my house when she came to visit.
