“Don't write or draw for money. Do it because you love it...” I mean, yeah. Obviously we enjoy doing it, otherwise we wouldn't BE doing. That said, it'd be cool being paid and supported enough to simply live as creatives, and in turn, have the freedom to create wild new things without restraint.

A digital sketch of a female character. She is seated with long hair, looking at the viewer in an elegant pose. Her hands have very long nails. The colours are monochrome of red pinkish. Her skin is more saturated.

A digital color illustration of the limited circular viewpoint of a lens centered on a surreal image: behind four columns is a stone altar with stairs leading up to it. Ritual implements are laid on the stairs and at the head of the altar is an enormous bright light radiating outward. Dancing in front of the light is a figure in a long ceremonial robe and dress spinning in place, their gaze directed at the viewer.

It's been 15 years in the making, but we're here! A huge thank you to everyone who's supported the project, and an extra-huge thank you to my partner and co-author Kate.

It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim “adult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer.

In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

i'm just a gay guy who makes drawings that are sometimes postable, but please: if there isn't anything else to have been learned from the 00s, there is no possible justification for another american war. there wasn't a "right way" for the government to have done this. it's all evil all the way down

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

An illustration of my tarnished from Elden Ring. She has long black hair, brown skin with some scars across her face, and she is wearing Miquella’s circlet. The top half of her outfit is the gravebird’s armour while the bottom is the skirt of the deathbed dress. She has her eyes closed and is holding the blasphemous blade on the top half, which is switched to a glowing cyan blade in the bottom half. On the bottom are the flasks of crimson and cerulean tears, with the contents of the cerulean tears flask spilling out. On the top half is a brown background with golden lines and circles, and in the centre, the erdtree from the DLC. Behind my tarnished’s head is a golden halo. There are sparkles where and there throughut the drawing.

When you have to switch builds for the DLC cause the enemies don't give you time to cast fancy spells

I love the problem solving aspect of drawing so much, trying to tackle things that I have little experience with, using the limited skills available to me, figuring out something that I previously struggled with feels so good. I dont understand why anyone would ever want to outsource this feeling.

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization
