Lorian Merriman @ m/m novel kickstarter!!!!

Today is my birthday!!!!!🎂🎈Please look at my OC!!!!🥹 thank you.....

Part of this might just be a natural change in interests. Like my current obsession is fantasy novels so I guess it makes sense that that's what I've become interested in making! Anyway not gonna force it. Either the spark comes back or it doesn't. I still love the comics I've made!!

I'm hoping this will allow me to get interested in comics as a hobby again. I still think of myself as a "comics person", but I've realized I barely read or draw comics for pleasure anymore, and that bums me out severely

I think it's accurate at this point to say that I don't really Enjoy making comics anymore, or at least on the same level that I used to. I'm putting my all into my next book and I hope it finds a loving audience! But I'm putting a pin in my comics "career" after it's done

I crunched unnecessarily hard to finish Maelstrom (I could have asked for an extension but didn't) for two years and at the end of it all the book's release did not change my life or career in any way except that friends and family thought it was pretty cool (hehe)

this year so far has been all about renegotiating my relationship with comics. I think I've come a long way in the last few months! For a VERY long time, I struggled with the burnout of finishing my first graphic novel, and I had every advantage in the form of an understanding editor/publisher

that's such an awesome achievement, congrats!!!!

Let’s see, a new pinned post maybe.

I am an illustrator and I also make pictures with my own hands for animation and games sometimes.

the joke doesn't work because if there's one thing in this life I'm certain of it's that my TBR is neverending and will always provide

when goodreads automatically emails me to be like "you finished [book]!! what's next?" and I gotta be like I don't know goodreads. I really just don't know

Mage will never be in color, I forbid it

I believe the whole point of making art is to be delighted by making it. Or perhaps more precisely to be gratified by making it--some art, for instance, comes from anger, and while anger is not delightful it is important to express, explain, convey, etc. That expression is gratifying.

Oh shit, #BandcampFriday is this Friday AND there are EIGHT planned for this year! Good job, Bandcamp team!

If you're not familiar, on BCF, Bandcamp waives its cut of the profits, meaning 100% of your money goes to the artist. I've got a few great albums on my wishlist that I'm gonna grab

CONGRATS!!! what a pretty print aa! I'm late to the party but excited to see the comic is getting a printed version! 🤩

i am so humbled by the support for this, the project funded in less than 12 hours AND we hit the first stretch goal for mini prints?! thank you so much 🙇‍♂️💕💨

sometimes you discover something wonderful and momentarily forget you live in hell. Then you realize the beautifully crafted Anki deck with native speakers is occasionally supplemented with AI-generated audio of the words being read incorrectly by a computer and it's like ah yes

I miss when the cute animal videos my family sent me were real. I miss when I could enjoy a creative or inventive work instantaneously instead of after a cautious beat. I miss these tiny simple joys so much and the fact that their loss comes at such tremendous cost is the ultimate insult to injury

not so far away, at all...

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.
