STOP! 🛑⛔🚫✋ Before you start flatting that full colour comic page, have you asked yourself if it would look better as Just Ink and Sparing Tone?

ooh yes this stuff is awesome... i would really like to do this too w comics one day (less drawing lol) so I'd love to see how you tackle it!

i had this thought literally five seconds after posting LMAO

tired: coffeeshop AU
wired: meeting on craigslist looking for a JO partner AU

you should check out posy simmond's stuff, it does this in a unique way that you don't see much in comics!

I'd order that at the boba store

in a seaside town on the Australian coast, Tam finds herself juggling old wounds and new friendships while trying to stop Iphi's heart from drifting further and further out to sea again.

My next book: SURFACE TENSION, out 2027 (hopefully)

Two years ago, Tam's best friend Iphi was the sole casualty of a freak tsunami. Now, Iphi’s back—impossibly alive with a newfound affinity for water—and threatening to upend the peace that Tam has built after the years of grieving … by… being a really fun person to hang out with?

Hiii everyone I'd love to get up to 550 a month on my Patreon by the end of the year so if you could share this post...much appreciated <3 Im a freak and I make comics

my small collection of memes that pertain to surface tension for another taste of what I've got cooking

People need to boycott this show and not just half ass. Shame everyone who plans on watching it. This isn't about Eurovision, it's about Israel getting away with committing genocide because THERE ARE NEVER ANY CONSEQUENCES. They should be untouchable by now. Everybody needs to walk the fucking walk.

fuck you *makes your dad's hair grow really long and luscious*

ty joe 🙏

thank you! I hope you enjoy it.

ty oscar... it's definitely come w its own set of challenges but it's been SO nice to work on something that I can make my own photo reference/rely on visual memory for, lol

my book

also it's hard to fit her into a sneak preview but it's so important to know that one of the main characters is Leka, a charismatic butch. please look forward to her

the girls in it are so normal and are having a fun time ☺️

books you read in high school do NOT count

sometimes i see the state of animated movie scripts these days and think that everyone who directs one must first be sentenced to read 20 novels from before the 2000s in order to be deemed fit for the role

smiling at my phone like im texting with a suitor but I'm looking at the inaturalist page for coconut crabs
