I'll be in Harrogate for Thoughtbubble soon with my beautiful new book but you can still get your pre-order in and get some extras if you like!

I'll also be doing a signing at Gosh! in London on the 18th!

Big fire on my street today. We got evacuated to a church a little ways away and are safe. Waiting for news about our home but we are alright.

Something I love: Doing visiting artist lectures/workshops etc. for colleges and talking to students.

Things I hate: Having to spend months begging and threatening institutions to pay the the pittance they said they would for this work.

I wrote a little about the Order of the Abundance Grace of the Cosmic Christ over on ig, and imagining a hopeful future and an anarchist christian commune of not-exactly-nuns that make up the bulk of the explorers in my book. I wish they were real.

Hey, I know we're all trying to weather an idiotic societal collapse, but do you want to preorder my new book or buy the original cover art drawing? I'm looking for another job(s?) but in the meantime I'm selling off originals to try to keep the lights on.

Finally finished Maison Ikkoku and I loved it. Big thanks to @bettysbooksstl.bsky.social for turning me onto this great 80s romance/comedy series.

Why is it suddenly like 8 different people I know are on trips to Japan?

Also, why am I not one of them??

It is always so wild how I always pay my bills on time and yet I have to hound institutions for months to pay me for the work I did for them.

Hey I drew this! If beloved 2D cryptid Mr Slice can wear a mask even if they don't have any ears, you can too!

I've gotten lazy about it and I'm trying to get better so here is a reminder for us all.
