Ridiculously awesome, Pam!

I’m a better writer than JKR could ever dream to be. I’m so powerful I’ve made people weep over the death of a mosquito. Put my latest on the stack of books by trans authors you could buy from and tangibly support right now.

A pair of pelicans plot to push a pernicious pest off the pier.

“Oh did I see you posting A.I? Instant unfollow Are you trying to argue with me about it? Instant block” There is a small cartoon portrait of myself, a round-faced Asian guy with round glasses and short hair, saying, “I’m just not that patient.”

The cuntiness of that last one … 💅

The overcast kept the hordes away

Another weird little experiment from my Burnout Summer Sketchbook.

Sailors of the future take heed: strange new creatures hunt the radioactive waters of the post-fallout oceans. Filtering pollutants like plankton, the Detritus Devil will attack and destroy passing vessels, smashing them down to edible scraps to consume at their leisure.

Go see my bestie if you’re at Flamecon this weekend.

I've been working on this Mosasaur linocut for many months, and I think I've taken this specimen as far as it can go. This process is a good exercise in learning how to step back and let a project breathe between rounds. Linocut is definitely not a medium that rewards rushing.

This monitor lizard has been lurking in my sketchbook for quite some time, and I recently decided to give her the attention she deserves.

Hey seattles, just a reminder that these three progressive candidates have a great shot at winning each of their races & getting Republicans out of office. Your ballot is due on Tuesday Aug 5.

Its been way too hot here, but the vultures know how to keep cool!

Those of us who know your husband are not a bit surprised.

It's both reassuring and deflating to learn that creators you admire are also having a tremendously difficult time finding good work these days. I've been struggling through the longest dry spell of my career and beating myself up over circumstances completely outside my control.

We’re still talking about this Gay General!

Thanks! I hope you love it!!

I plan to explore this topic further, but for now, this school of ancient sea creatures is available as a mini-print in my shop.

I painted this pod of Mesozoic sea reptiles for a book proposal that didn't go anywhere, but I loved the artwork. The similarities between Ichthyosaurs and whales are a prime example of convergent evolution, where different species develop similar traits despite very different origins.
