I wrote and animated a mashup of 70s film, Greek & Roman mythology and 60s TV hillbillies. It's not for everybody. It could use some more work.
It succeeds at what I was trying to do.

Hmm. Might explain some sleep problems I've had.

This turned into a delightful thread.
When I was really little and in the bath, my mom pulled the plug and jokingly said "throw your arms out so you don't go down the drain!"
It took her years to convince me it wasn't a real possibility. 😅

“Bizarre things you firmly believed when a kid” is one of my favorite genres and I firmly believe we all have excellent examples if we can remember them

Is this the laziest and most slapdash drawing/graphic I have done to promote my book yet? PERHAPS. Nevertheless, I hope you will consider The Shabti if you're looking for a romance with a healthy dose of the heebie-jeebies this Valentine's Day!

I resisted watching Riot Women (on BritBox) but danged if the show hasn't brought me to tears multiple times. It's when the music cuts through the screen to express what they're feeling.
And, for better or worse, I am the girl who wants the most cake.

Pause your doomscroling to hear a Valentine's story 🧵
When I was in 5th grade, there was a boy in my class with a HUGE crush on me. So at the big Valentines Day class party, he gave me a singing card and this necklace:

another year of us not running a super bowl ad
I once had the big idea that movie theaters would be empty on Superbowl Sunday and I'd have the joints all to myself.
Wrong.
Every film buff in the Twin Cities was at the movies. The only showing where I had my pick of seats was the 10:30 am one.
