Hello! My name’s Leslie and I’m an illustrator/character designer who occasionally makes puppets and paper sculptures. I also created the webcomic “Fins & Crinolines”!
I love telling stories and bringing characters to life in anyway that I can 😊

Did a lil illustration for Shoot From the Hip improv to thank them for making me laugh harder than I have in quite a long time!
This scene from “The Haunted Diary Entry” (an entirely improvised play) had me in tears 😆
So if you need a good laugh too, please go check out their channel! 😊💕✨

For 2026, can we please go back to labelling everything with trigger warnings?
At the very least, the blood and gore stuff.
I’ve seen so much gore and violence recently, both artistic and real blood, and none of it has labeled with TW 😭😭😭

It was 5am and I was in the airport security line. There was a little boy ahead of me full of energy, so I had some entertainment while waiting
But I didnt want to seem like a creeper watching the kid, so I looked up at the mom and smiled. It was Anna Faris and Chris Pratt was standing beside her 😆

It’s a lonely Christmas over here, so I made myself some curry to try and make things better.

Our Christmas party was a coloring craft, some fruit trays, and a discussion about the business next year, which we were told to start planning on how to use ai in our design work. We also didn’t get bonuses even tho profits exceeded expectation.
I hate it here. I just want to make cute art 😭😭😭

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.
GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Thinking about commissioning a logo/illustration for the Jubensha Convention I’m organising next year – something simple but bright and fun. Any recs for artists?

If any Studio out there values their creatives, hates AI, and wants to make millions on their next project-
a bunch of incredibly talented creatives just got slapped in the face by their company and would happily jump ship and join a place that actually respects their work.
Just saying.

Im at the point where I want to give up on trying to make friends irl.
Every time I just end up getting hurt. People have become so self centered that they’re not willing to try and connect with others and it’s heartbreaking.
I just want to build a lil community with people who care about others 😩

If I dont start a convo, I’ll never hear from my friends.
I can make gifts for my entire team and not have one person ask where they came from or even thank me.
I ask friends to meet up for lunch, and even tho they agree, Im ghosted when I try to follow up.
Im so tired of trying to make friends 😭

I was in a large atrium with two massive openings on each end. I took my mask off for 10 minutes to eat a sandwich there, thinking it was safe. But I got sick anyway.
I’m starting to think that the air around us is more infected than we realize. And that’s why so many are struggling with vvv

I’m still sick. And apparently the company I ordered something from used Amazong shipping to send it here. But Amazong being the jerks they are did not give the poor delivery driver an assistant.
So my sick-self had to help this poor delivery driver carry a massive box up 3 flights of stairs. 🥴😭

I wanted to design a new character since I haven’t had the chance to in a while. So I started thinking about what my perfect dragon would be if I could have one. And I made this fella!
He’s mischievous and a bit arrogant, but does have a kind heart. He’s also semi-aquatic and fire breathing 😆
