Hello! New here so a quick intro:

a lovely review of MOTHER from broken frontier for your consideration 🦠

BF's reviews are always so attentive and vividly worded, it's such a treat to see one about your own work

We just got copies of Mother in by @abscomics.bsky.social ! When Sylvie notices a patch of mould growing on her body she decides to raise it as her child.
This is a bright, colourful and occasionally mildly disgusting look at motherhood, responsibility and somebody who clearly doesn't wash.

It feels incredible to be such a sweetie.

clocking out of the fish factory for the last time this year 🫡

i painted 60 of these little guys painted for MCM/TBubs over the last month or so... excited to see them go to their new homes... my sons...
six little hand-painted resin fish dudes sitting on top of their packaging, small cardboard boxes with a gatcha-styled label. each fish is a different colour (red, pale blue, green, yellow, golden orange, and pale green) with dotted patterns and contrasting fins. they are on a messy painting desk. 11 of the final batch of fish guys sitting spread out across a messy painting desk, tiny pots strewn all over the place.

does the full stall setup in my living room give away the fact MCM is only one week away, or is it something else?
