Picture showing two stickers. One reads “ The Bronx Voted Early” in white lettering against a red background and in blue the Bronx Zoo gates. The second sticker reads “ Halloween Voter 2025” and it has a pigeon wearing a witches hat and holding in its beak a jack-o-lantern candy bag with some bats in the distance.

Voted early today and got these two rad stickers 🤩

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.

The cover page of the mini comic. Titled: The Scholar & The Frog It shows the scholar in his room writing a poem using his calligraphy brush. There is a frog looking into his room perched on a window sill

Page 1 of the mini comic. It shows a Hanok with a blue sky overhead. This tranquil scene is interrupted by a shout of “No”!

Page 2 of my riso minicomic.

The back cover of the mini comic. It shows a frog sitting on a lily pad. There is a calligraphy brush slowly sinking in the water with a koi fish under water observing it.

Just a small snippet of the riso printed mini comic I’ve been working on this summer!

#procreate #minicomic #riso

Finished printing and assembling my final project for the minicomics class I’ve been taking this summer 🥰

Really hope the ink I need at the RisoLAB is available 😬

If not, I’ll have to make some last minute changes 😮‍💨

Sketchbook comic. Panel 1: a disembodied voice says “I KNOW a.i. is ethically, ecologically and esthetically awful, but I just gotta say…” Lucy is reacting with a ._. Face and thinking “do ya? Do ya really GOTTA?” Panel 2: Lucy’s thought bubble reads: “do you just GOTTA recite some tired anecdote using the phrase ‘I just typed it in!’ That just amounts to you admitting that your cheapness, laziness and poor taste outweighs your unexamined ethical code?”

Sketchbook comic page 2: Panel 1: Lucy’s thought bubble reads “and, at the very least, do you GOTTA say it to ME?” She is turning away, saying “ok I’m gonna go, um, get a snack.” Panel 2: another disembodied voice is saying “Lucy! You’re an artist— whattaya think about a.i? Ya know, it may be bad, but I JUST GOTTA SAY…” Lucy is startled, dropping a chip.

Sketchbook comic page 3: Panel 1: Lucy is surrounded by speech bubbles and text, repeating the phrase “gotta say…” she looks terrified. Panel 2: she is fleeing the repeated “gotta say”s, yelling “you gotta live with yourselves, but I don’t gotta!” A note with a heart at the end reads “stop doing this I will not absolve you.”

Gotta say…

I'm psyched to release the first batch of "ready to hang" prints, which are die-cut, thickened, water-protected and have a hanger or magnets on the back, so you can just plop them anywhere without a frame.
