I'm Birdee, a disabled amateur comic artist, working on The Magical Freelancer's Guild, a queer historical-fantasy! I post a lot about disability, other comics, and politics.

Follow @magicfreelance.bsky.social for just MFG posts, and linktr.ee/BirdeeBlake for all the places to read the comic!

🔥🐦!
The 2023 main cover of The Magical Freelancer's Guild. The main cast of Monty, Luca, Lana and Zendaya stand on the stone balcony of their guild hall, looking down at what appears tobe a fire below. Lana, Monty and Zen all look somewhat relaxed, while Luca looks startled. A digital painting of a group of people dressed in Edwardian-inspired fantasy party clothes. They are standing around a table laden with various Autumn foods. Both the characters and the feast are lit by the glow of two red candles on the table. Chapter 4, Page 4 of digital comic The Magical Freelancer's Guild. Monty, a man with long hair tied back in a ponytail, wearing a green and brown vest, rearranges some books on a shelf while talking to a person with chin-length brown hair and several bandages on their face. "Hey, Bert-- I heard you can tell a lot about someone by how they use Magic. For instance, you cast by reading aloud from a book, but you insist on translating it into Latin first." Snickering, Monty adds: "Does it not work if you're any less stuck-up?" The other character jumps up out of their seat, fuming. "Why you assho--" And is cut off by the return of a third character. Chapter 3, page 14 of The Magical Freelancer’s Guild. The panels at the top and bottom appear to be burning away to reveal the sepia-toned flashback panel in the middle.

This one, that's part of a mini comic idea I've had around for a while-- "what does Caspian think about when he can't sleep?"
A cropped digital illustration of Monty Birch, lying down with one hand brushing back his shorter than usual hair. He's probably doing something lewd off screen, judging by his facial expression.

Hey y'all.

A South African dev released a blackity black game during BHM and it's currently getting the usual suspects in the reviews.

Imma grab this up myself anyway, but can we all be some chums and help push the racists out of the reviews? 🙂

Your favorite progressive politicians are extremely horny for bills that restrict access. Elizabeth Warren is notoriously anti-SWer and keeps putting her name on these bills.

Said before will say again: even Bernie Sanders signed off on FOSTA-SESTA before he VERY tepidly said he shouldn't have.

I’m glad to see people protesting Discord forcing IDs for age verification, but what I need everyone to understand is that there’s immense bipartisan pressure to make the entire internet like this, and they are likely going to succeed unless something drastic happens

May I bribe/threaten you with some other WIPs in exchange for Nugget money? See below!

Hey all, Nugget needs more medical tests for liver and kidneys that estimate around $800 plus anything else needed off those tests so I made a GFM for the boy. Any amount helps as does sharing– thank you!

I want it on the record of history that artists realized the harm immediately and were (and continue to be) loud bitches trying to stop the idiots who are out of their minds.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.
