Fresh Start is OUT!!!!! It’s a lot of things — a mixed kid story, a gender story, a complicated family story, a friendship story, a love letter to anime tweens — but mostly it is RIDICULOUS and FUN and I’m so proud of it and so grateful to everyone who made it happen. AHHHHHHHHHH.
Sketchbook drawing of Ollie from Fresh Start. Title: “it’s… book day!” Ollie exclaims: I’m in a comic?! Text: Yeah!! Ollie: Do I have cool powers??? Text: …No!!! Small text: Or do you? Stack of copies of Fresh Start by Gale Galligan on a table for signing. Childhood pen drawing of three original creatures. They are basically circles with big anime eyes and hands and feet, like a cross between Kirby and Pokemon. They have shiny ball-tipped antennae. Text at the bottom labels them “elementei.” Two page spread from Fresh Start by Gale Galligan. PAGE 1 PANEL 1 Ollie and friends lounge in Zoe’s room. Maya is reading in a corner. Zoe: FRENCH FLAPS! Ollie: Right?! Zoe: Gah, I wiiiish we got some of the nicer books you see overseas. PANEL 2 Maya keeps reading. Off panel voice: Yeah, the original Deepsea Merbattle books are like this much bigger. Off panel voice: With all that detail, too. PANEL 3 Nina throws a pillow at Maya. It hits the side of her head; she is unfazed. SFX: poomf Nina: Come on, Meta, you have dragons at home. Maya: Oof. PANEL 4 Maya has a ready retort; Nina sticks out her tongue. Maya: You know that my siblings do not give me a moment of peace. Ollie: Meta? PANEL 5 Zoe replies with a grin. Zoe: Oh, it’s just something from a story we’re working on. PAGE 2 A full page illustration of the Elementei Guardians, as imagined by Zoe, Maya, and Nina. It has a title treatment and a copyright notice ( (c) Elementei Studios). They have clearly spent some time thinking about this. Caption: In a world where people have figured out how to harness teleportation magic for their machines, but don’t realize that they’re wearing down our interplanetary fabric — evil monsters start slipping through the cracks! Caption: Fortunately, good creatures have found their way into our world from a magical dimension to help our heroes save the day! They are… the Elementei Guardians!! Label: Chaos, Fire Elementei, Electric 🔥⚡️ specialty Label: Meta, Water Elementei, Mind specialty 💧🔄 Label: Angel, Air Elementei, Heart specialty ☁️❤️ Zoe, Nina, and Maya stand underneath their respective characters and strike a pose. Ollie sits in front of them, serving as their audience. Zoe: And there you have it! Maya: It’s mostly in our heads right now. Ollie: Neat.

I’m back with more concept sketches of BunBun the carhop! You can see her final design is a mix of my favorite features.

I’ve hit the dreaded lull in a Backerkit campaign. It’s always been hard for me to promote myself, but I will do my best! #artcrowdfunding

More about these sketches here!
Three sketch variants of BunBun, a bunny in a carhop outfit trying not to drop her burger serving tray. They have vanilla, chocolate and strawberry shake fur colors and variations of red and white or pastel outfit colors.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

Next for summer fanart gauntlet - more Ghibli! Ursula helping Kiki through depression/creative block has resonated with me since I was young, and it's the heart of the film for me.

Another throwback for the summer fanart gauntlet! I do love Nana, but Parakiss was the one manga that grabbed me from Ai Yazawa, and I love all the girls SO MUCH.

Next up for my summer fanart gauntlet, we're out of the 90s and back into modern anime. I fell in love with this show instantly. Maomao is the BEST.

Next up in our fanart series: my favorite ghibli film! I thought a lot about which one I wanted to do first, but Nausicaa just holds a special place in my heart.

Sometimes you just need to listen to that song that takes you away from everything. #heathermahlerart #comic
Four panel comic. Drawn in various tones of green with little ghosts around illustration of me wearing all black black eye glasses my hair is down and also green. Panel 1 walking down the sidewalk looking at my phone thinking to myself I feel overwhelmed. Panel 2 close up of me looking at my phone turning on a song you can see on the phone. It is Enya ,Caribbean blue. The text reads maybe I just need… Panel 3 straight on of my face, listening to the music eyes closed, taking a sigh of breath. Panel 4 illustration of me, daydreaming floating away in the city. The text finishes the sentence … a moment.
