Hi folks! My name is Andrea Demonakos, and I’m the owner of White Squirrel, a small business devoted to supporting artists via fulfillment services and management of their online stores. 📦

My Bluesky vibe is a mix of enthusiastic yelling, sharing art, and photos of my garden and hobbies. 💕
If you need a good (happy) cry, the dogs are good again!

Waiting in line for a bathroom at NYCC, and the next available stall door was opened by Carrie Anne Moss, we made brief eye contact before I headed into the stall and had a minor internal squealing session 😅
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

This dragon book tracker is also still available to download from my Ko-Fi! 📖 It will always be there, along with all others I have made. I’ll also be releasing a brand NEW one in about a week, so keep an eye out for that if you want something fresh 👀💜

Since New Years is coming up...

Remember!

You don't need to be the best writer or the best artist to create a story that resonates with people. All you need is hyper-fixation and a can-do-attitude!

If you see this, share a comic that has gorgeous environments/backgrounds!

I’m definitely not the first to praise Gokurakugai for its art, but the environments deserve just as much love as the characters do! Their liveliness and attention to detail are unmatched.

Underrated point of discussion with the AI + social media uproar is giving thanks to patrons of the arts, especially non-artists, who are willing to put in the effort to support artists at a time when it has never been easier or more normalized to do the opposite.

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back

You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

For those who have just left twitter/X and are afraid for their financial security as they try to rebuild, I want to share my experience as it will hopefully provide a bit of comfort.

Earlier this year I ran a Kickstarter. Bsky outperformed Twitter for backers by more than 3x.

Heard a lot of JP artists are joining! Make sure to check these language settings so you can see posts in all languages!
heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community

go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!

Lying on the floor with our foster dog, bonding over our general ennui. He’s bummed that he has to wear a cone while he’s recovering from surgery, and I’m decompressing from the last two exhausting months at work.

I’m going to copy this goal for myself 😆
My new year's resolution this year, as every year, is to be a more available, supportive friend as well as an increasingly looming, formidable enemy.
