Missed the date to submit my debut for @massmice.bsky.social, but it will be at the Spin Rack table, booth 51! So excited to share a new comic for the first time in a long time!

lydia and elaine hugging each other with text saying "an emotional graphic novel about two girls reaching for gold-and each other."-kirkus reviews, on just between us

figure skaters lydia, in a black costume, and elaine, in a white costume skating over orange bands of music notes. text says: "The skating sequences are full of reverence for both the beauty and athleticism of the sport. Each black-and-white panel bursts with movement, expression, and atmosphere as the story tenderly explores themes of queerness, ambition, and mutual pining." -kirkus reviews on just between us

Some words from Kirkus Reviews about my sapphic figure skating graphic novel, JUST BETWEEN US! The whole review is soooo lovely :')

You can find more info about the book here: www.penguinteen.com/978059369696...

Illustrated in watercolor as if rendered in colorful felt, the Janni squad sits around a plate of snackies on a soft blanket while Astra confidently reads aloud from a board book of “BRAN GREMLINS,” Zelf looking skeptical in his baby chef outfit, Patty drinking Oo Moo and eyeing the cheese in front of them, and Janni clapping delightedly at Astra’s story. A plush of The Little Stranger sits behind Astra, and Bovel’s diary lies abandoned face-down on the floor amongst goldfish crackers.

Listening to BCBP, thinking about the (without spoiling too much) occasional recurring threat that any or all of the Janni Squad could end up as babies, I needed them to get a Muppet Babies treatment in fun felt colors. @bcbparty.bsky.social

Instantly regret not adding plushie Genbu, though 😩

Somehow I missed all of these until now, these are all so good, eee!!

A pink comic cover that says “Teenie Jeannie” with a shark smiling in the center and a bunch of other sharks in bubbles around her

a black and white comic page panel one: a little shark sticks her head on a hole in a coral reef panel 2 :an eel pushes her out and says “buzz off will ya?” as she apologizes panel 3: the shark happily swims away as a narration box says “jeannie shark is small”

a black and white comic page panel one: jeannie swims next to a great white shark for scale (she is small) as a narration box says “”smaller than the littleest great white shark…” panel 2: jeannie greets a black tip reef shark who greets her back “smaller than the reef shark…” panel 3: a crab looks on in confusion as a current washes jeannie away “Small enough to get swept away…”

A black and white comic page panel 1: jeannie crashes into a bonnethead shark and they both look shocked panel 2: the bonnethead shark smiles and says “Oh, Jeannie! What a fortuitous encounter! <3” panel 3: jeannie looks deeply confused “Bonnie shark uses a lot of words Jeannie does not understand.”

Aww, thank you Roxy!! 🥰

An artfully composed photo of a stationery set surrounded with flowers and cottage trinkets: the set includes an envelope, sticker sheet, and writing paper which all feature the Secret Tea Shop design, full of tea cups, desserts, and a calm, sophisticated bunny who watches over the tea experience.

An artfully composed photo shows a stationery set surrounded by cheerful blossoms, ribbon, and letter-writing paraphernalia: the stationery set features envelopes, letter paper, and a washi sticker sheet all decorated with honey, clover, and a happy brown bear enjoying life, with a little bee buzzing about here and there. All are illustrated in a watercolor, slightly cartooned style.

An artfully composed photo shows a stationery set surrounded by flowers, ribbon, and letter-writing paraphernalia: the stationery set features envelopes, letter paper, and a washi sticker sheet all illustrated with the theme of a bakery run by a glasses-wearing fox and a hardworking sheep, with lots of bread and pastries strewn about. All are illustrated in a watercolor, slightly cartooned style.

Rounds of wood are arranged as stepping stones on an airy background of textiles and flowers. On each round is a stamp-style washi sticker, with designs from the Secret Tea Shop collection, with various cups and pots of tea in a gentle watercolor style.

I don’t have any special sales up for Small Business Saturday, but if you’d love to support an independent artist and get some great gifts before the season gets too busy, I’ve been designing cottagecore stationery that fantasy lovers would really enjoy!

I’m in the same boat, this is forcing me to go ahead and unsubscribe to so many newsletters since the folders are gone. Multiple times a day is ridiculous

Tiny Wizard text logo in green and gold. A candle, a little door, and a star are hidden in the text. Underneath the logo is a large wide-brimmed wizard's hat with eyes and glasses. Text next to the hat says: We can no longer be seen or heard. A choice made for us, long ago. But we can still connect. Thank you for accepting one of our wizards into your home, and may they bring you some much-needed magic. Tiny Wizard is a solo RPG about a tiny wizard exploring your actual house. Together you’ll climb furniture, cast spells, and open portals to bring the magic of the Tiny Realm back to Earth, one room at a time. Intended for all ages, Tiny Wizard’s gameplay is inspired by solo TTRPGs, virtual pets, and memories of being very small.

Surprise: we're working on something new! A game called Tiny Wizard.

I got a little daily calendar and have been designing a sword-of-the-day every day for the past two months! Each week is a new theme; it's been fun to do a bunch of little design explorations under one big umbrella. You can see them all on my patreon: www.patreon.com/careydraws

Go support your local coffee shops! I guarantee their coffee is tastier and their pastries delightful. And if you’re lucky, there will be a dog or cat to adore

Given -everything- I'm not big on advertising myself at the moment. I did just add a couple items to the shop and would appreciate a look, though www.etsy.com/shop/Indiffe...

Thank you!!! I’m actually starting to get ideas, maybe I’ll try actually making something like this eventually! 😆

Thing that was impossible to search for today on the internet: how to install inseam pockets in side zip pants.

Going to experiment rather than go to the library today, but I just wanted a quick reference on what those layers of fabric actually look like, and what order to sew them in

New stickers! I’ll have some of these with me at Thought Bubble this weekend.

A scrolling banner tops a graphic showing digitally mocked up playing cards scattered on a cheerfully patterned peach background. The cards are soft cheerful colors that evoke golden hour, and each shows a watercolor illustration of a forest creature (or two or three) doing something described on the card. Mabel the possum happily ices cakes in the card Patissier Mabel, Opal the frog reads on a big propped up book in Opal’s Library, and several action cards outline activities like “Help a Neighbor” or “Make Music” with characters interacting in a cozy woodland world. Text: Cozy card game & board game art. Bring a gentle watercolor hand to your game design.

I’ve always sought out board games / card games that have both great gameplay AND art I love, and it brings me a lot of joy to sit around the table playing games like that with friends.

As an illustrator, I would love to work with game designers, so I whipped up a mockup card game as an example!

Malatona When It Rains (Cuando Llueve en Málatona) A graphic novel about death and politics in a 17th-century province / Un cómic sobre la muerte y la política en el siglo XVIII

Hey everyone! I am gearing up for the first print run of Malatona, a political intrigue set in a fictional 17th century province. Back the project here (¡disponible en español!): www.kickstarter.com/projects/mak...

A game card with peach-y hues featuring artwork of a possum patissier piping some icing onto pink desserts. Text: Patissier Mable. The only thing that delights Mabel more than a decadent treat is baking them! You can count on this scrappy little patissier to make you the best cake ever.

A game card with leafy green hues, featuring watercolor art of a raccoon happily curled up under the leaves in a pile of “treasure,” that certainly most would consider trash. Text: Hoard of Treasures. Some may say that these are no treasures, only mere trinkets, but you know better. Every trinket is a treasure.

As a frequent illustrator of cute lil guys and lover of board games like Everdell and Raccoon Tycoon, I would LOVE to work on a board game or card game in that vein.

I’ve been playing with mocking up cards of my own little critters, Mabel and Basil, to see what that might look like, so more soon!

We had more space than usual behind the table at Nekocon, and it was so chilly, we were really like, “Dang, would have been nice to have that kettle…” 😩

I’ve been meaning to buy my neighbor’s cheap kettle and big power bank she had from traveling a lot last year, just so I can always make tea behind my artist alley booth. Cons are so stressful, it’s nice to at least be able to rely on a hot cup of tea

Wait, what, this is THE BEST DAY!!

(Chika Umino on Manben)

Yep, exactly! We did give ourselves a few months, given that everyone’s outside workloads would make it so that in reality, it’s a lot less time, but basically the same idea!

Two weeks left for my crowdfund! It's over halfway to the goal so it just needs a bit more support 🙏🏾

Jay is absolutely right and the great thing is there’s one candidate for Mayor in NYC who wants to make free day care happen!
