New video on my YouTube channel! A short (< 3 minutes) breakdown of how I improved a scene from Bleating Heart ep 1 :) It’s teeny but I hope you find it insightful!

Abolish ICE. A little journal comic from South Minneapolis.

#iceoutmpls #iceoutcomics #iceoutofmpls
Just before Christmas, I got a puppy. Her name is Minerva, and we call her *Minnie. I'm still learning how to understand her. Me: Do you need to go outside? Do you need to go outside, little baby? Do you need to do a poo? Do you need to do a widdle piddle? Minnie: Arf! *I just call her "little baby" most of the time. I'm also realizing I can't turn off the baby talk now. Nobody tells you about that. I got so lucky with my first puppy. Her wonderful foster parents had her completely house-trained by the time we adopted her, so taking her outside for potty time has been pretty easy. I've got the puppy poopy routine pretty much down, now. Me, putting on my coat: Let's see... I got the little poopy bags, puppy treats for bribes, jacket, scarf, phone… I think that's everything… Oh yes! And my passport. I had been carrying around my passport for a while, but I knew it didn't matter. This is wrong. Nobody is required to carry around their papers. I became a US citizen when I was seven. Since I was born in a refugee camp, I was stateless. The US is the only nation where I've ever held citizenship. It's the only passport I've ever had, and it still felt important. Protective. I would hold it in my pocket like a talisman, like it might ward off ghosts or something. But I realized I was holding onto it basically out of superstition. ICE will pick up anybody. I know that. So I tucked my passport away. And I largely avoid leaving my house. I live a few blocks just South of George Floyd Square. I was in the neighborhood for that, too. And all the neighbors came together to protect each other. We're already organized. We'll do our best to get through this. Me, to my dog: I hope I can take you for a walk someday soon. Won't that be nice, little baby?

Oh, that paper bag on the floor? You can leave it there, it’s my cat’s bed

That towel bunched in the bathroom doorway is supposed to be there, it’s so my cat doesn’t lock himself inside (again)

No that half an egg carton isn’t trash, it’s a treat puzzle for— yeah for my cat

One out of 12 rams is uninterested in females. Deemed “non-procreative" by farmers, they're typically sent to slaughter. German farmer Michael Stücke rescues the gay rams. His company Rainbow Wool, sells fabulous wool products from his flock of gay sheep. rainbow-wool.com

I keep being told that I need to find what else I want to do with my life since animation isn't an option anymore. But when you live your dream and find a sense of purpose for a few years and then it's all ripped away from you, how do you just find something new to give you purpose?

Long overdue for a new profile pic, featuring Pogo!

#profilepic #selfportrait #catart #procreate
A full color digital portrait of a blonde girl with blue eyes and round glasses, and a brown and white cat against a teal background. The painting is zoomed in and cropped to look like a selfie gone awry, with only the top half of the girl’s face visible peeking up from the bottom of the frame, while the cat peeks out from behind her with its paws extended as if leaping onto her head.

Ah yes, the New Year, the time when I overwhelm myself with fantasies of creative possibilities to the point where I suffer decision paralysis and accomplish nothing 🙂‍↕️
