Mockup of a print of a green portrait of a girl, her back turned to us and bathed in light, her profile in shadow turned towards the right. Her hair is wavy and cropped short, she's wearing a dress that leaves her back open.

The day after disaster. The world may be ending, I can only hope to be a little creature that makes it to the next day - but if I’m not, at least I can be happy in the thought someone small and magical will be sturdy enough to make it.
A square black and white drawing, stylized, of what was once woods and is now some isolated trees, some standing some broken down, in a huge flooded space. A single hat is floating on the water. On a tree branch a small witch frog and a yellow mushroom character are sat, watching the horizon, where a yellow sun is rising. They are survivors quietly watching a new day post disaster.

Falling in love with a toffee stoneware I'm using for the next woodfiring.
Illustration is from my pottery & burnout zine 'The Kiln' (published by Lok Zine)
Different colored and shaped handmade clay forms: vases, jars, mugs. They're all made out of different clay bodies.

It was my birthday yesterday!! If you feel like it, please share my quite gay work. I also love food and clay, hi, follow me for more of that stuff!
Pumpkin ravioli in bright yellow, orange and green tones, floating above a square plare, with pieces of pumpkin, black pepper, sage and amaretti cookies also floating around A person made out of dark red clay that's too dry, cracking and coming apart, naked and with hollow eyes, on a black background. It symbolized burnout. Two sapphic lovers, the blonde one with a braid is kissing the other's nose, she has black hair, darker skin and a side buzzcut. They both have their eyes closed and are smiling. A comics page: a witch is walking away from her cottage in the woods and hopping on her broom, then flying away over the landscape and finally spotting the flower she needs - a beautiful pink rose - and descending. It's drawn in bright colors and the background has very stylized shapes.

My zine is out! Angouleme treated it well and I can't wait to bring it to conventions for the rest of the year. I could also finally bring it to someone special that the whole zine is dedicated to. She doesn't know, but it's all for her.
Cover of a zine, the title is "The Kiln", a cylindrical pottery kiln is open and a girl is curled up inside. Orange flames are also coming out of the kiln. The image is in two colors, blue and bright orange. The same picture but now it's on a physical printed zine, close to a gorgeous pale bengal cat not looking into the camera. A photo of a page inside the zine, printed in risograph - it's the same cat as the photo but as a kitten, drawn hiding then getting closer, then on soft blankets as she's being petted. In the photo a small handmade ceramic jar can also be seen, on the lid of the jar is a sculpted cat head. A photo of another detail of the zine, the same jar standing on the page. Written on the page, the text: "for Callie 💛"

Hey y'all, a new @cartoonist.coop NSFW bundle is live!
You can find many comics, among which the short & sweet Icelandic story Fey, written by @atlathewriter.bsky.social and drawn by me!
Check it out to save up and get a huge load of comic (pun intended):
itch.io/b/2848/the-c...
A blue-haired girl walks through the exit of airport security after landing and is delighted to find her girlfriend: shorter than her, with a gorgeous high braid of dark hair. She drops her bag and runs to kiss her girlfriend, who then kisses her on the nose. The caption talks of the Hidden People, a dangerous fey folk to stay away from. The colors of the page are pink, fuchsia, a cadmium yellow and lots of cyan blues.

Had to pick a subject for emergency new business cards for Angouleme, save me cute lesbians
(Which I’m told could pass as a straight couple because the butch is so butch but pls look at the femme’s nails 😭)
Close up of two girls seen in profile: one is butch and olive skinned with half a shaved head of black hair and an earlobe extension. She’s smiling and her eyes are closed. The other girl had braided golden hair and a golden earring, she’s also smiling with her eyes closed, as she kisses the other girl’s nose and holds her face tenderly - her hand showing off bright pink long nails, except for her middle and ring finger where the nail is mysteriously cut short.

Riso print tests from France are looking FIRE 🔥😭 (burnout + pottery zine coming SOON)
Riso print test of a double page spread in a comic, pictured is the figure of a naked woman made with dried red clay, cracking and chipping, her posture uneasy, no eyes visible. She is floating in a dark void. The textures of the riso print and lovely and crunchy.

I need to get my pottery photographed but for some reason it's really hard, I dare say dangerous
A handmade vase with yellow flowers as decoration and some of the same flowers inside the vase too, with a paw and nose of a striped bengal cat coming from the side to play with the flowers

Brunch outfit from this weekend - of course I got coffee spilled on my vintage skirt but let’s just remember it as it was
Full body sketch of Ariel standing in a light green cardigan, yellow skirt, light green tights and socks with a peach pattern, mint green Oxford shoes. Her light pink hair is braided close to her head ending in shoulder-length pigtails and she’s wearing romboidal earrings matching her outfit Same picture but wearing a darker green coat and a huge mustard yellow scarf on top of the outfit

If you see this post a ghost 👻
In a grassy patch with mushrooms and flowers a mushroom creature dressed as a ghost, holding a pumpkin lamp, and a frog with a witch hat are spooked by a real ghost flying over them.

Happy holidays to everyone but to my barn owl (my partner Mirko) in particular.
On a dark gray background, a woman (portrait is waist up) in a pink sweater, with pink hair (white and brown roots showing) and glasses is holding and cuddling a fluffy barn owl - the light is warm and soft, both their eyes are closed.

Not all earth is clay.

The Kiln - published by Lök Zine - preview.
A textured earthy brown background, a spot in the center: a small white woman curled up in fetal position , her hair a pink bob and her expression pained (it's me, Ariel, but depressed!). In white, the text is "Not all earth is clay."

If you see this...post a Witch!
A brown skinned witch with curly black hair in a puffy ponytail, dressed in pink and purple with a dark pointy hat is brewing a pink potion in a black cauldron while a black cat is on her shoulder, tongue out. Dried herbs are hanging around her.
