I'm actually going to bulk it out a bit with more content. I want to reward people who choose physical media by making it the best bang for buck I can

scrungly space critters for a story/webcomic i want to do

Favorite things of the week are all book covers from my homeschool order for the 2025-2026 school year

I'm really into warm limited palettes and semi-realistic cartoon drawings

made a cover for one of my short stories, which I'm now x posting to royal road since it seems more original works friendly than Ao3 (obviously since its a fanfic site)

I wrote a bit about how Juniper and Tanozi got together

Fe the Jackrabbit has clothes now!

I wound up draping the jacket pattern myself and went way overboard on fringe

She's up in my Etsy if you are interested
