Vietnam.Part01

Took me a bit, but I'm ready to start telling everyone about my trip to Vietnam in 2023.

Beginning with... a small hiccup. Which is becoming something of a theme to my travelogues.

(Paid members can read the whole thing on my patreon. But otherwise we'll post regularly on Mondays.)

Finally got around to finishing Black Cloak by @kellythompson.bsky.social and @iniquitousfish.bsky.social. Oh man, I love this series. A great story brought to life in a really fun, colorful magical world. If you like Fantasy and noir, you'll love this series.

Oh!
That one too.

Meme image. Caption reads: When you've had a rough year but you're trying hard to enjoy Halloween. Bottom image is of a carved pumpkin that is collapsing in on itself.

It's the spookiest time of the year.

I know Main Character Syndrome is a thing.
But I would also like to not feel like an NPC in my own life.

me: it's okay to be a person struggling with productivity during a prolonged crisis my brain: not u though me: not me though

You are a gem

They’re going to see Phantom of the Opera #onepiece

i see the rapture is still on.
so.
i get to make another cake.

Hang in there, struggling artists

I am currently across the world.
And every time I wake up to see what you've all been up to.
It is the most disorienting experience.

I have no idea what is happening.
I am very confused.

Thank you!
It was really a delight.

well, what the fuck?

Today was a lot of things adding up to make me extremely nervous and panicky and it's not fun.

A small illustration in black and white of myself from behind. I'm looking at two pieces of art (my own) from the Comic Conservation show at the Phoenix Zoo's Wild Side Gallery. The opening celebration will be this October 4th, from 9am to 1pm. And the show runs until January 2026

So my local zoo @phoenixzoo.bsky.social invited me and a few other comic artists to participate in a gallery show!

Comic Conservation will have an Opening Celebration, this October 4th, from 9am to 1pm.

(The show runs 'til Jan 2026 tho)

You should go peep the art!
And then go peep the animals!

Elevator Pitch:
You CAN wish your heart away to the devil... but you're gonna figure out REAL FAST how bad an idea that is.

A dark illustration in black and grey tones, with one spot pink. It features the interior of a car, full of stuff and lived in. In the driver's seat, facing away from the audience is Emma, the protagonist of HEART IN A BOX. She has made choices. Many of them bad. We love her anyways. The spot pink in the illustration is a small heart key chain hanging from the rear view mirror.

Sept 29 is World Heart Day!

And I thought 'Oh. Hey. Me and @kellythompson.bsky.social did a book about those.'

So I did a little doodle of Emma, the bestest girl, with the worstest life choices. From me and Kelly's first collaboration: HEART IN A BOX. Published by Dark Horse Comics.

excellent excellent >:))

and they're making a sequel

YES!
Exactly this!
You can make me care about LITERALLY ANYTHING if the person telling me about it has passion for it.

I will look it up!

(≖_≖ )

I'm not going to yell.
But that was my first inclination.
