wow i really kinda just let this one slip away from me huh. what am i doing

statement is very corpo because i posted it straight from my linkedin bc i’ve had corpo speak on the whole morning lol. got my match in the middle of shoveling snow last night which was a pleasant surprise

this is a really exciting opportunity for my professional development, and i’m excited to use this time with my mentor to advance my skills as a designer in the toy and game industry. thanks to Mattel and Women in Toys for sponsoring this opportunity.

my small career announcement of the day- i’ve been sitting on this news for a while, but now that i have a mentor match, i can come out and say that i’ve been selected to be a Ruth Handler Mentee!

need everything to melt asap so i can start jogging and going outside again

maslenitsa and lunar new year in the same week i’m gonna become so round

tbh if i could hit a triple swizzle cartwheel on ice or whatever i’d probably be able to speak whichever language i want at home too

considering skipping this year in favor of black zine fair tbh

my bestie and i have a tradition of going together annually but the show has been getting stale as hell. same 20 SOI darlings every year and half of them are there bc of their follower counts and not bc they make comics 😬

just saw the mocca program advert rates. had a laugh

this venue also sells its own comic anthologies at coat check which are really good! i gave someone my card there once in the hopes of getting work and now i get the occasional club promoter spam text. lol

30 days of comics, day 20- favorite spot

this break on the other hand has been kinda fun in some ways since i’m able to find the time to read and watch the occasional film again in between surgery recovery stuff. but i do have a con to prep for now so that’s gotta stop for a bit again

comics will resume tomorrow, my mom had a major surgery this week! she’s back home now and doing great so it’s time for me to stop stalling

This photo should be cherished and remembered by American comics community, while 100% of the drivel from all the pathetic dimwits redrawing Absolute Batman now fighting antifa needs to be forever forgotten

posting bc i have to get back on schedule but i want y’all to know that i am not a safe place for fascists. if you rock with what is happening or benefit from it financially you are pictured as a roach in my mind

should not have watched that video before getting up. oh what the fuck…

nvm my audience can’t even see my comic until the label gets appealed. unreal…

kind of insane looking back that my slightly suggestive bathhouse bit did not get flagged while two androgynous mirrored cartoon bodies with no risqué bits did. unreal

y’all like i was so proud of my newest comics and then bluesky goes and slaps the porn filter on it. there’s no porn, i promise y’all. please click on it.

ok how do my oomfies feel about alice longyu gao? i’m worried this bit will be too niche for people but i love their music and art
