four panel sketchy comic. 1. jaye and ally lean over a table thing, incredulous looks on their faces. There's no hot topic? 2. A nice security guard lady tells them that there isn't a hot topic OR a Spencer's gifts in this mall. the table they were leaning over is the mall map kiosk thing. 3. drawn by jaye, ally and jaye have a momentary breakdown about the lack of good stores in this mall 4. jaye and ally brave the horrors of rich people brand name stores... jaye has a sword now.

We went to the most BOUGIE mall today. NO HOT TOPIC! NO SPENCER'S! THEY DIDNT EVEN HAVE AN ANIME STORE!!!

Panel three was drawn by the wonderful @jayeisnotarobot.bsky.social who experienced these horrors with me <3

A simplistic sketch comic using a quote from Maya Angelou as its dialogue. An artist sits at her desk, and his editor sits off to the side on an elaborate fainting couch. The quote is: Iโ€™ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so youโ€™re right. So what? Donโ€™t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again.

A little comic about how my beloved friend @justsoftwings.bsky.social and I work together :)
#art and so on

A wooden box on a jewelers bench. The sides of the box are stained blue with a rectangular pattern burnt into the sides.

A jewelers bench with a blue box, a pair of earrings, a set of cufflinks, a necklace, hair sticks, and a pair of armless glasses. Copper and light blue illustrations on shrink film are present throughout. The earrings and cuff links are inspired by a Senet board set discovered in the tomb of Amenhotep III, and the rest of the collection is inspired by the Royal Game of Ur. A tile pattern on the lid of the box is arranged so that two people could play the Royal Game while engaging with the jewelry that would otherwise be inside the box.

A top-down view of the lid of the jewelry box, where blue squares of shrinky dink film are arranged to make the Royal Game Of Ur. Metal loops of various sizes are set on the lid to indicate how the game is played.

A skewed angle photograph of the blue box on a jewelers bench, showing off an Ancient Egyptian-style side panel illustration. The burnt illustration shows a hand reaching for a board game, with the name Senet etched in hieroglyphs above it alongside other visual motifs from Senet boards.

Starting this page strong with a project I wrapped up a couple weeks ago. 5 piece jewelry collection & a playable box to stash it in!
