"IN OBSERVANCE & SOLIDARITY". Two black speech bubbles with white text read "HOURLY COMICS DAY IS NOW ON FEB 8TH. CARTOONISTS HONOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. FEB 1 - MAR 1". There is an illustration of a black silhouetted hand raised and holding a pen in the top right, and an illustration of a nib pen and an ink well personified on the bottom right. The nib and ink are bumping fists. A URL at the bottom is "hourlycomicsday.com".

Hourly Comics Day has MOVED!

It's the 20th anniversary and we're taking a stand alongside our Black cartoonist members and friends to demand a change to honor Black History Month- draw your comics on the 8th, not the 1st!

This is still happening! we made sure it went thru January so people could use their xmas money :)

For people that feel helpless, this period is so tough but there's ways to help for anyone. Go out there support Venezuelan ppl and artists living in it as they prepare for unpredictable times

Here is a starter pack of artists with commissions or donations open as well:

“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

oouuuU TYSM!!!

awww tysm!!! it makes me happy to hear that ;;_;; <3

2026 u cannot k*ll me....i have yaoi on my side

did more physical activity, drove more and did a bunch of new things on my own, actually made a lot of friends at work and met more mutuals irl, got more into my hobbies that aren't drawing, helped my family a lot this year with a lot of emergencies, interviewed for a promotion and got it!!! PHEW!!

some highlights: helped run a sketch night program where I moderated and taught tweens/teens monthly, went back to school and have finished two semesters already, did an art mentorship, attended and spoke at local community hearings AND called my reps and sent them postcards-

while I was going through my art I was also reflecting on the last year and even though it was really challenging and difficult for a number of reasons (and ya know...the state of the world at All Times) there's actually A LOT that I got done and am super proud of ;;_;;

art was hard this year (as it is every year lol...) but i think it had to do more with like "growing pains" as I developed my style vs it being hard because I wasn't enjoying it. I really enjoyed drawing this year!! I'm enjoying being self-indulgent :')

big fan of an ambient glow this year ... didn't think i'd have something for every month...yayyy

BIG LOVE!!! thank you pal ;;_;;

btw can finally post my full piece for the @unionyaoizine.bsky.social !!
this was a lot of fun :-) hope you all are enjoying the zine!

thankfully getting him in early helped a lot!!! he's a strong little guy ;;_;; <3

PASS THE YAOI, FRIENDS. 🥂

genuinely despite the stress I'm so thankful for all of you and your support, both for my art, myself, and my little guy.... I feel so encouraged moving forward into 2026 and despite the hellish year I had a lot of good things happen and have more good things to look forward to...manifesting !!!

it was a little hectic yesterday, vet took most of the day because they were busy and then immediately had to stop by the hospital for my grandma (she was able to leave earlier today!) AND it was new years?!?!? phew....

last update: took him back to the vet yesterday morning and he was in the clear 🥹 he was still very sleepy yesterday but he's way more normal today! eating good, cuddling, and even wanting a little play time already 🥹💕 thank u all so much again

things that have happened in the last 24hrs:

> dropped ebi off at the vet for all day fluids again
> pipes suddenly pushing water into tub and leaking out of toilet
> 8hrs later THE BIGGEST TREE ROOTS EVER GOT TAKEN OUT
>gma is in hospital again
>ebi back home

I think someone cursed me

BALD LEG!!!! SON HAS RETURNED!!! A

labs stable and good but vet (and 2nd vet) wanted to keep him for IV fluids for the day so he'd complete the full 48hrs... good news is he comes back without a cone and catheter tonight!!!!

good morning everyone...getting his morning labs... if everything is good he can come home and I just need to monitor him ;;_;;

thank you thank you a million thank yous to everyone who's pitched in and donated... I'll check back in tomorrow... im gonna pass out from the whirlwind of emotions

BACK HOME!!!! 😭💔🙏 he needs labs in the morning but he immediately ate from my hand and ive manage to wipe him down and cuddle immediately....my poor boy...

it was 1.3k up front and it might balloon to 4 or 5k and im so sorry to ask for help again but literally anything would help if you'd like to donate ko-fi.com/cloudcastor/...

thank you friend ;;_;;
