Cartoon of a cute middle-aged woman asking if you want to make a collage with her.

Have you met her yet? Don’t you want to make a collage with her? You’re going to tell her no???

I'm open for work and personal commissions! Open to discuss any kind of idea in general!

Happy birthday Charlie! You're one of my longtime art inspirations and I hope you have a great day❤️

I'm drinking a ginger ale with a maraschino cherry and some of the cherry syrup in it. In case you were wondering.

Thank you so much!

A panel from A Little Beauty. A smiling woman rests her head on a table cluttered with art materials as a vase of sunflowers(?) looms over her ominously. The caption reads: "The flowers never wilted." This is a horror story about feeling so inspired that you lose your sense of self in the dangerous territory of mania, but still. May at least one of those flowers never wilt.

I really enjoyed A Little Beauty, @lauraknetzger.bsky.social's new minicomic. Botanical horror delights in uncontrollable growth, and this story transposes the uncanny sense of disconnect between nature and society onto the process of artistic creation. 🌻 www.shortboxcomicsfair.com/shop-sq4wj/p...

nearly twenty years ago, i moved from birmingham, alabama to college station, texas. a year after that, i wrote a one-act about myself, lonely & lovelorn, talking to a figment of my imagination. the star of the play, in the role of my male self, was a boy i'd had a crush on. one year ago today, please be my star was released. my debut fiction graphic novel -- a love letter to those two years in college station, to my teen self, to my love sergio diaz, & to many other moments in my life. a beautiful synthesis of many, many moments in my youth in texas.

i'm deeply thankful for everyone who red & enjoyed or thought deeply about the comic. i'm especially thankful to everyone who shared their thoughts & feelings about the book -- with me or otherwise. it's selfish to admit, but at times i'm pretty solemn about how please be my star has been treated out in the world. people have sent me wonderfully kind messages, and people have also written very disparaging & dismissive reviews. it's all very confusing to take in. "which is it?" i wonder.

i'm well aware it's a weird book; a weird book is exactly what i intended to make. so, all i can hope is that i'll be able to make comics like this for the rest of my life. i'm incredibly grateful & happy i got to make please be my star. to those of you who have held it, for any length of time, in your heart -- i can't thank you enough. happy birthday, please be my star ♡vge

Happy birthday!

My last few SBCF entries have fleshed out the Laura K Evil Girl Canon. A Little Beauty does not have an evil woman in it but it does have a very, very cute mom.

Excited for this to be released on October 1st! It's perfect for Halloween season 😈 Fall in love with beauty!

I want to keep in mind that I have many years of making art ahead of me, even if getting it in front of readers is a struggle. I can make the stories to my satisfaction. That's in my power. And yours.

I keep thinking about this piece. It feels so odd to have someone put into words what I suspected. I think the ideal authors for current publishing's standards are influencers/celebrities: built-in audience, unrelated income streams, someone else does their PR/comments moderation, willing to shill

SBCF is next week??????!!!!

The Fullness Of Emptying All Thy Faithful Plenitude // 2025

Proud to finish something I actually like after being so art blocked after surgery, I feel like I’m rerooting myself back into my curiosity, passions and tastes!

I love Diva!!!!
