Hello, hello #PortfolioDay!
I'm LAB, a comic artist & illustrator who has worked with indie comic publishers and fashion illustration.
I'm looking for projects for next year! I'm particularly interested in short comics, book covers/illustrations, and fashion related.

I think that *cringe* is overused. I particularly think that it is overused by people who have a difficult time feeling and naming their feelings. That's a lot of people.

Do I know artists who work in an 18th century style of illustration who might take on a modest proposal (so to speak)?

I'M SO RELIEVED. Endo specialist said the ultrasound tech was wrong and neither of the cysts I have now are endo and they should just go away on their own.

The magic of backlight animation: that pre-digital era when artists had to light up from underneath to create lighting effects through unpainted or translucent parts of cels, backgrounds and various elements.

I'm boring it's the real world usually. Though often set in the 80s or 90s and often Tokyo. So my world building is usually just research. Or in limbo where there's no real setting, which are usually the more experimental comics (none of which I've drawn lol).
Worldbuilding question time! Is the world more futuristic? Old-timey? Fantasy? Discuss about your OCs' world! -🌟

If I ever get around to making comics I 100% promise you they won't be in color except maybe a page at the beginning chapter bc I love manga style and screentones that much and I rly don't care for this attitude about it
I'm finding as the years go on with me making comics that are primarily black and white, I am getting more readers commenting on 'why it's not in colour' and many others not reading because there isnt colour to begin with... that sure does stink!
