There’s nothing more horrific than reality itself.

Here’s a comic I did about immigration, family separation and mass deportations.

Please go read! (1/8)

Been thinking about all the manga I saw in Japan last year, so I wanted to share some photos I took! Featuring the Kyoto International Manga Museum, first pages of Sailor Moon, a Mandarake, and Aki Irie’s current ongoing title in a Kinokuniya!

Recently got together with some friends to play an insane amount of dnd, so I drew our characters!! It’s been a while since I’ve drawn traditionally, so it felt really nice to get back into it!!

In between things, I’m currently drawing my dnd party’s characters!! Haven’t drawn traditionally in a quite some time, but it feels nice to get back into it. Plus the main pens I’m using!! #dnd #inks
