I sold gasmasks from 2008 through 2022 for a surplus warehouse. This is solid reporting -- these things are expensive, and the hope (I told all my customers) is to *never* use it. But, here we are.

Forgot to post this lovely picture I got from @crybringer.bsky.social of my golf girl Amber!!

I don't make a comic for views, or money, or awards, or anything

I don't even make it for comments or readers, really

I make it because I'm a weird little freak who had one terrible, horrible idea and I had to do it or no one else would

this is the only way to comic without burning out

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

01/22/26 KHULURU for @hoobydoodles A monochromatic picture of a warrior gal, Khuluru. She looks energetic and poised to clash, with a jian sword in her right hand and raising a shield with her left arm. She's dressed in a unique armor chestplate, evoking the terracotta warriors of ancient China. Drawn in aqua, Khuluru herself is cute but athletic -- surely aiming to win!

01/20/26 LULLA for @NightExp0 A monochromatic picture of a robot girl, Lulla for @nightexp0. Drawn in light blue, Lulla is a curvaceous robot with a box shaped head, and a singular eye motif w/ ear-like fins. She has distinct ball-joints at the elbows, wrists and knees, and walks on pegs with padded knees. She has swooping details that are accented with a sheer hood and tabard -- a pleasant and almost priestly sort of look.

Two more choice #commission works completed this week, for @hoobydoodles.bsky.social and @nightexp0.bsky.social.
Take a look!

How To Help if You are Outside Minnesota Last edited January 22, 2026 I’m going to assume that if you’re reading this, you more or less understand the situation in Minnesota and I don’t have to explain it to you! That sa…

If you’re outside of Minnesota and you’re wondering how to help, this guide is excellent.

And seriously. Take down your Ring doorbell TODAY.

Skeches of various expressions and some posework with @mazinja's dragon girl Vasha. A bit snarkier and scheming than the description, but there's still an air of elegance that comes through with her design. Turns out the tiny doodle at the very top of the page led to...

--The rough draft of Vasha's image. A lot of the major decisions, details and edits from a customer gets ironed out by this stage. Finishing a pic is that much easier when all the nitpicks are settled in advance.

Breakdowns and drafts of this #commission of Vasha.
I include all the sketches and drafts with a finished commission!

01/20/26 VASHA for @mazinja A portrait of a gorgeous, elegant sea dragon girl created by Mazinja. Vasha is a vibrant blue beauty, wearing a deep purple and gold accented gown. A kimono-style shoulderless cut, with a tight, jeweled waistband, it compliments Vasha's features. She has curved horns and ear-like fins at the side of her head. Long, dark blue hair is bound in a large gold orb behind her back, meeting her long serpentine tail. Vasha waves a fan with a trident design that echoes her tailfin -- though her tail has a green gem at the tip. Adorned in a gold collar & earrings, with violet eye shadow, she gives an approving glance to the viewer.

Vasha, a dragon OC by @mazinja.bsky.social -- an absolute pleasure to bring to life on the page!

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer.

In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

listen, I would rather die than not make comics. I actually think this is what I was put on this earth for and I don't see any other path for myself. but I think it's really fucking important to acknowledge that drive and passion and talent and creativity is nothing without funding

A digital illustration of a cartoon character kicking a blue pig while holding up a sign. Above the sign reads "Remember", and within it reads: "Do not sign up to join a protest. Just show up!". A speech bubble leading to the character contains the words: "That's how all your info gets put on a list!!".

I mentioned that this year I wanted to mess around with species I don't normally draw.. and so here we go. Not a terrible start, IMHO.

Just a couple of monochromatics or one more color request would be HEROIC. Already hard at work at this batch, but the end of the sale is near! Again, tell a friend!

I must have ⚡MORE.🔥

commission from Crybringer of my oc Sasja. slightly low-angled shot, looking upwards at her. Sasja is looking down at the viewer with her head slightly to the side and away. she is resting her hands on her spiked war club in an intimidating demeanor. she has on only a sleeveless version of her leotard and gloves.

monochromatic commission from Crybringer of my oc Marie. Marie is wearing her usual outfit (red open top tied below her breasts with deep cleavage window, rolled up sleeves, white gloves, midsection showing, black pants, black cap). she is holding up the bill of her cap with one hand and the other hand on her hip. her expression is that of something getting her attention just past the viewer

did you know @crybringer.bsky.social is really cool? you should check out his page to see how cool he is.

recent comms i got from Cry feat Sasja and Marie! #zazOC

as an artist, I basically live by this ancient tumblr post, and I'm not kidding.

brightwanderer I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned "forever" into the only acceptable definition of success. Like... if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it's a "failed" business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don't actually want to keep doing that, you're a "failed" writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it's a "failed" marriage. The only acceptable "win condition" is "you keep doing that thing forever". A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a "real" friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a "phase" - or, alternatively, a "pity" that you don't do that thing any more. A fandom is "dying" because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things. I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it's okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success... I don't think that's doing us any good at all.

Wish I could internalize this
