Katie Risor ✨WELCOME TO THE FOREST 🌳

never in my wildest dreams did i imagine this scenario im literally gobsmacked

i know it's cuz ppl have more familiarity with jewelry. but they also perceive it to be more lucrative. but it's the assuming my work is frivolous and i should just put my creative skills to his passion instead that really makes me feel small

my partner is a jeweler, and i'm really proud that he is craftsman. however it annoys me that family are alwasy 1) more interested in his work than mine and 2) always seem to think that I should use my skills to help him in a jewelry business rather than him helping in my already existing business..

In the studioed. straight up “painting it”. And by “it” haha, well, let’s just say
My book

dear all graphics programs,

if a layer is set to invisible, it should NOT be selectable

sincerely,
why would i be clicking on something i can't see

i don wanna do my emails :(

WELCOME TO THE FOREST | Kirkus Reviews Preparations for a shindig spark several new friendships.

very pleased to get a lovely starred review from Kirkus! It's nice to have my artistic efforts appreciated:

"Depicting a panoply of unique beasts, the art, rendered in gouache and colored pencil, is the star of the book."

aw shucks

i got told i had "an ego" for turning down a project that was too low budget and too quick of a turn around. he also didn't think pre-production and character design phases were necessary. wish i still had those screen shots lol.

Soon book crunch will be over and I can draw fnaf

hup

This is a really important question. Publishing has broadly missed these kids. It's not a surprise they gravitate toward online zones for humor and entertainment as their book options dwindle. And we know where that can go.

Yeah 😪 it’s hard I always thought I’d go back eventually, but now it doesn’t seem likely. I don’t want to raise kids there

Me for the next months and half while I paint the last 25 pages of this book :D

The stuff going on in Texas right now is so disheartening. But this is the state that added “one state under God” to the Texas pledge in the mid 2000s so I guess shouldn’t be that surprised

Hey do u guys think my grandma told me frogs would give me warts cuz she really believed that or cuz she thought it was unladylike to catch frogs 🤔

I just found out that Forest is getting a Kirkus star!!

If you're trying to get an old wacom to work w newer mac OS, I can't recommend the "Connect my tablet" app highly enough!! they're not paying me to say this lol. got my 2013 cintiq working 6 years ago AND got the same model cintiq AND a ~2011? intuos working on a much newer OS today. lifesavers!!!

Love how posting a cute lil comic that I really like gets 10 likes but a selfie with a pandering caption gets 100 on insta 😪

*takes long drag of joint* Norman Rockwell had two assistants and a cook

So if I take more Tylenol will I get more autism? Cuz I’d really like to get better at rhythm games

I’m really happy they finally made a dedicated iPad version of Instagram. but why did they make the home feed reals?? Why is the friends tab not also a thing on the base app? Why is it a different app?

We just needed horizontal mode

We truly nailed it with tumblrs system and it’s been downhill ever since

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again
