Sorrel helped me with color flats on comics! So when I stopped doing comics, we weren't in regular contact anymore. Wonderful to work with though.

Pet portraits I painted for Kickstarter backers. The bird is watercolor and the dog and cat are acrylic. (Pet portrait commissions are open if you're interested!)

Sorry for being gauche but if you want to get invested in media about witches that isn’t racist garbage that enables a transphobe, check out a game made by a majority of trans people including yours truly. Bonus it helps fund my hopeful escape from this hell.

Definitely recommend checking out this non-profit, in addition to classes they also have a whole library of tools people can check out and a woodworking workshop people can use on their own projects.

Cory and I made a cutting board together in a workshop class at the Denver Tool Library! It was so much fun. The instructor was great, we learned new things, and now we have a cutting board we can treasure for years. (The woods from lightest to darkest are maple, cherry, and walnut!)

I am making a new character playlist and it's such a specific mood that it's hard to find songs that hit right. If anybody has any recommendations for songs about people finding humor or joy in the absurdity of life (rather than apathy and despair, which often seems to be the vibe on that topic) lmk

This would make it illegal for any site that has trans content--not just porn, but everything from trans people posting selfies to essays to comics and stories featuring trans characters--illegal in the state.

You've seen how fast the Age Restriction shit spread.

Don't pretend this isn't possible

Old Souls is available on Kickstarter now. Amarante has been spending more and more time taking walks in the woods at night. What she finds there is unsettling. But she can’t stay away. Back this brand new comic by Jackarais here:

Sketchbook comic. 

Panel 1: a disembodied voice says β€œI KNOW a.i. is ethically, ecologically and esthetically awful, but I just gotta say…”
Lucy is reacting with a ._. Face and thinking β€œdo ya? Do ya really GOTTA?”

Panel 2: Lucy’s thought bubble reads: β€œdo you just GOTTA recite some tired anecdote using the phrase β€˜I just typed it in!’ That just amounts to you admitting that your cheapness, laziness and poor taste outweighs your unexamined ethical code?”

Lucy is startled, dropping a chip.
