Formal post soon, but for the first time in eight (!) years, I'm open for illustration & short comics work! I'd love to do more TTRPG equipment & character designs/ illos; book covers; & book interiors. I also love making short comics & would love to be a part of more anthologies! www.careydraws.com

enjoying reading the sequel to the Ring, where a woman who is definitely not Sadako seduces a guy with her incredible cryptic sensuality, despite being described as "smelling like blood" earlier. I am rooting for her.

Unwinnable subscribers saw an excerpt of this last month, but here's the much, much longer convo I had with Autumn back in December about cultural criticism, my process, and a long, ongoing battle with alienation from my own taste and craft. A little rambly, apologies

"That Box We Sit On"

A metal box sits embedded in a field. It’s the everyday hangout spot for two kids after school, but why? One of them lets his imagination run. The other mostly jokes about it.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

maybe today
hourly comic: digital ink drawing of the user in bed at 7:45am. a chat conversation reads as follows: me: hourlies today (orange emoji) friend: huh? (bunny emoji) it's naptime you fool (bunny emoji) me: it's 8 in the morning friend: naptime! (happy emoji) hourly comic: digital ink drawing of the user from 8 to 11 am. the text and images are as follows: spanish practice on the bike: the user on an excercise bike watching dreaming spanish on a tablet. speech bubbles from the tablet summarized: - person 1: ¡chocolate! - person 2: long scream morning hygiene: the user in a towel, showered, while flossing their teeth. tea and soup for breakfast (and an arrow pointing at "1 meatball"): the user eating and drinking the food. thinking about marinating the meat (and then don't): the user playing infinity nikki on the couch and tv. nikki has a perfect score for her outfit, which features one antler, a big scarf, and a large ridiculous hat.

Incidentally, for 2024’s Hourly Comics Day, I started to make a comic about the history of Simone and Hourly Comics Day. But (ha ha) you know how it is with HCD sometimes — it gets away from you. Here’s as much as I made.
HOURLY COMIC DAY. A series of comics drawn in the style of Simone Veil. Hourly comic day is observed annually on February 1st. It was started in 2006 by webcomic artist Simone Veil. (Hey) she’s has come out as trans in the intervening year years, so she went by a different name in 2006. You may recognize her as the author of the webcomic pictures for sad children. Her comics are simply drawn often black and while. Characters are usually heads and bodies with stick arms. This is me trying to imitate her style (kind of a pale imitation). Her comics often concern sadness and existential dread manifesting in strange and surreal ways. In 2011, she held a kickstarter for a print compilation of pfsc. Funding greatly exceeded her expectations. In 2014x after struggling to fulfill the last of the orders and contending with a rising chorus of internet hate, she posted a video of her burning boxes of unshipped comics. Then she deleted her comic archives and vanished off th internet. But I digress. On December 21, 2005, Simone Drew a comic every hour she was awake. When th day was over, she kept going. On January 25, 2006, she picked a day and invited other people to give it a try too. And they did.

A photo of the first two hours of Hourly Comic Day drawn in a completely unrelated comic workbook for children. In the background the cat is attacking my hand 5-6AM: The cat is jumping all over me going MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW 6-7AM: I am making coffee in an aeropress and the cat is in a wrap on my body purring happily. The caption says "get papoosed idiot" and there is an inset panel of the cat looking very smug labeled as "the most spoiled cat alive"
