unfortunately i've managed to repeat last year's "one Etsy shop update & then a lot of hopeful promises until suddenly it's November & i realize i need to just keep whatever stock i have for the upcoming Hanukkah market" 😩
so, no, there will not be another restock until early 2026

deciding to "get serious" this month about personal art projects i've been putting off, only to wind up a week+ into a mystery illness (??) that is causing all my muscles to be so stiff, sore & weak that i can sometimes barely wash dishes let alone draw/sculpt 🙃

“why can’t these characters ever be really good friends? i don’t have anything against sex, i just think we undervalue deep platonic relationships. not everything is about shipping, fans always take it too far” <- literally never said about straight pairings, i wonder why 🤔

finally caught up with this recently on the (longstanding!) recommendation of my partner & i think it’s one of the most compelling ensemble character studies in webcomics. just a super high level of craft all around
I’ve been working on this free webcomic series for 7 years now and the book we are printing now is probably one of my favorite stories from the series. If you’d like a copy, there are 3 days left to get one.

sometimes i’m awed by just how many incredible artists are putting work out into the world for us to see, & sometimes i’m struck by the thought of how many we never get to appreciate because they’re too sick/disabled to make their art

this #nationalcomingoutday i’ve been out as queer for 25 years & out as trans for 10.
i’ve used & loved & left behind a lot
of other identity terms in that timeframe. i think that’s pretty normal! language changes, people change, imo there should be lots of room for it 💜

It's #nationalcomingoutday . I have used my work as a way of coming out for forty years. I have no regrets. If you are an artist of any kind, I hope that you can live your truth and show it to all of us.

if you're curious about WHY every other occult horror movie is chock full of Hebrew-lettered diagrams, & also why this actually sucks, you can read my (citation-heavy) zine on the subject here ezrarose.itch.io/fyma-a-lesse...

finally saw Nosferatu (2024) last night & my absolute favorite thing about it was the props, specifically the occult papers & books which did EVERYTHING i've been asking for from horror movies for so long - period-accurate styling of the paper, ink & drawing/writing, AND zero Hebrew 🙏⚰️🖤

i don't want to be on here. i don't want to be on literally any social media platform that currently exists except for tumblr, & that's because tumblr has somehow managed to cling to a self-curated chronological feed, a slower pace, & a culture of more potential anonymity

last chance! can you help us crest $1k? 💕
apparently Instagram is no longer friendly to viewing without an account, so i'll be mirroring the prize posts in a thread here for people outside IG who want to participate (you DO still need a Venmo account to pay for tickets, sorry - that's what's available to us). prizes to follow! 🖤🍉🖤
