Hello! I'm Jean Cabot and I do #comics and #ceramics.

My hubsite is hamsterbandit.com which also contains the fiction I write, which is primarily ghost stories.

My #webcomic is hamsterwheel.art which is a diary comic where events are MUCH more impressive via presenting them as a hamster.
Comic. A snowboarder is shown doing an amazing feat labelled 'Olympian'. Following this, a hamster in snowboots labelled 'me' gets on a snowboard and immediately explodes. Comic. Hamham and his mother (a guinea pig) are emptying boxes on a deck. They discover Hamham's baby shoes in the latest box and Guineamom has a flashback to when Hamham was very small and wearing them. Hamham says 'so. Trash?' and a tear-filled Guineamom says 'you have misread the moment, my child' 3 ceramic cats around a loonie. 3 ceramic hedgehogs around a loonie.

Happy Valentines Day!

Are these pink enough??

(All watercolor or ink and watercolor)
A grand dame in a huge elaborate eighteenth century wig smirks flirtatiously behind her fan. The wig is topped with a full rigged ship, adorned with hearts and cupids. A battleship under full sail! The ship’s cannons shoot off a broadside of little pink hearts that fly everywhere. (Watercolor on paper.) A damsel in elaborate golden armor walks on the parapet of a castle. She wears a tall golden helmet with a cascade of pink plumes, and on her breastplate is an ornate golden lock in the shape of a heart. Surely she is armored against Love! But a dastardly masked Cupid, fashionably dressed in black satin, wig, and lace, flies in with bow at the ready, and an arrow in the form of a golden key! Will it fit the lock? It’s a cupcake! It’s a dragon! It’s a cupcake dragon! Made of living frosting, decked with cherries, and curled up neatly atop a cupcake, munching on a cherry. Tiny watercolor of two white kittens with orange tinted ears and tails, playing with a pink ribbon

#mermay
Digital painting of a merman, but instead of a lower torso that is half fish, his human legs are in tact, and a mermaid tail is "attached" to his posterior. He has long, wispy antennae and fins for ears and his mermaid tail has a lot of wavy and flowy fins. He is sitting cross-legged mid-air (or underwater) while his tail is propping him up and holding all his weight. He is holding a gnarled wooden staff with both hands.

Second illustration from Cynthia Sheppard’s course at Smarter Artschool. The focus was on showing the story through characters interactions. I struggled a lot with ideas for the second part of the course, but I like what I came up with.
A grim illustration showing us a mysterious place. Children are standing in line, their heads bowed, l their parents behind them, holding them tensely. A weird old creature covered in a mix of rugs and jewelry, slowly goes by, gesturing towards one of them, a girl, marking their choice with creepy white hand, decorated with many bracelets. The girl is the only one looking at the creature, her face is tense but not scared.

Tim Drake: Why did you send me after Zsasz alone? Barbara Gordon: He’s basically a slasher and you’ve got real final girl extra virgin energy. Try it out. Tim Drake: Hey Stabatha Christie, I’ve never touched a boob. Zsasz: *bursts into flames* Tim Drake: huh

A while back my friends watched me die repeatedly to the minesweeper game at Darkmoon Faire and I don't know how to say this, but Waria will beat that game one day and @alchememe.bsky.social's Kyrian, Tariesh, is not going to interfere

#worldofwarcraft | #draenei | #kyrian | #skymagpieart
A screenshot of a chat log saying "Wariani has died. Wariani has died. Wariani has died." and another screenshot of a pile of draenei corpses on the ground. Below is the redraw of the Walter White and Saul meme with Wariani (Waria) and Draenei Death Knight and Tariesh a Kyrian bearer. The text reads "We're done, when I say we're done.

Oh...! Ok. Thank you for that, phone.
A diary comic where my phone wakes me up, telling me its made me a nice little video set to upbeat cheerful copyright free music. I click to see what "Summer Fun 2022" entails, and it's a montage of when my car got totaled by a red light runner, a video of me sobbing asking for help looking for my dog who was involved in the crash, some graphic injury photos I had taken for insurance and cause my sniddy looked outrageous, then a video of my dog back home in a cone with all legs bandaged up, and as a final gut punch it decided to show me my cat's cremated remains from his death anniversary. I'm left stunned to silence. It was the funniest thing I think I've ever seen.
