A black and white cartoony self-portrait of the artist drawing on a Cintiq while surrounded by many cartoon characters from animated shows she has worked on. From left to right: Delete, Sundiata, Arthur, Lana Longbeard, Suki, Share Bear, Epiphany, Hank, Dukey, Rock, Napkin Man, Rosie, Ms. Frizzle and Daniel Tiger.

Just realized I never shared this here:
In two weeks my current contract will wrap up and I'll be open for work. If you hear of any opportunities in the new year where I may be a good fit or you just wanna chat, please let me know! I’m open to roles from Canada and the US (I'm a US citizen as well)

Ugh that’s exhausting. Hugs

Stunning!!

Ugh so sorry Vanessa

Wishing you a speedy recovery!! Hugs!

This is the way

By wonky you mean great, right?

Discovered that my local library has copies of #WitchHatAtelier so I’m FINALLY checking it out! So far it’s very cute

Studio Ghibli fell in love with this film and gave its director a movie deal. Master animators like Yuri Norstein call it a favorite.

Its name is Father and Daughter, and we've explored its story:

Reading #TheGirlWhoDrankTheMoon by @kellybarnhill.bsky.social for the first time and this passage (photos below) reminds me of this song by @theohhellos.bsky.social youtu.be/HlGSd-_jAHA?...

This is my favourite so far!!

B!

Congratulations!!

I’m so sorry Aimee; that sucks!

Black and white drawing of two women dressed in fancy dresses: a water genasi on the ground play-acting that her ankle hurts in a very over-the-top manner, and her friend (a triton) clutching her pearls and pointing at the genasi's foot, adding to the acted drama. A tall, muscular hobgoblin guard looks at the scene with confusion and stress.

Silly drawing from a moment in our game last night. It's my character (the one standing -- a triton bard) and our water genasi rogue putting on an act to get the Sultan's attention. The bubbles are supposed to represent them babbling in Aquan.

Yeah, it’s tough

But I get it; for people who need to promote their work for a living they have to be where they’ll get the most traffic :/

Personally I quit IG in November and don’t intend to go back. Also I finally quit FB about a month ago (after years of having it but not really using it). I prefer to have no part in anything Meta owns.

The heck did I just read? What does any of it even mean?!

These are SO CUTE!!! Mine’s the beagle scout!

Congratulations!!

Aaahhh congratulations!!

I thought I was the only one lol
