Happy Book Birthday to AGENT CUPCAKE!!!

@melhilario.bsky.social, @katiesaurusrex.bsky.social, and I are so excited to finally share our unicorn spy (and her kid sidekick) with the world!

Learn about secret codes, lock picking, & social engineering while Cupcake and Miguel track down magic thieves!

Agent Cupcaketober Day 5 is Dragon! Howie Timmons is a dragon well suited to modern life, especially when it comes to accumulating a hoard.

Follow @melhilario.bsky.social and @katiesaurusrex.bsky.social for more Agent Cupcake art!

Agent Cupcaketober Day 4 is Magic! In the world of Agent Cupcake, each unicorn has their own particular magical ability. The green unicorn is Jalebi, whose magic could help you with your Halloween costume, provided your tastes lean Labubu.

Agent Cupcaketober Day 3 is Griffin! Larry Moscowitz was a top field agent for the Mystical Beast Bureau, but now he works on the technical side of things (and he’s trying to get better at baking).

Check out @melhilario.bsky.social and @katiesaurusrex.bsky.social for more mystical spy drawings!

Agent Cupcaketober Day 2 is Signal! I’m espionage, operatives sometimes communicate through signals that other people wouldn’t notice, like a piece of laundry hung out to dry, a symbol written in chalk on a walk — or, in this case, a sticker on a window.
The unicorn spy Agent Cupcake clocks a fire pet rescue sticker on a window. A fairy flies by, distracted by his phone.

My art students are much smarter than I am: one of my Character Design students suggested that I make a movie (to demo to my Animation class) about a tennis ball that comes to life. Because it’s a simple sphere and it’s easy to get a real tennis ball to reference the stripes!

I've been engaging with @sophieyanow.bsky.social's #gentlecomicshabit for a few weeks now. Most of the entries are too diary-ish to share, but I quite like this one:
Label: January 28, 2025 "Holds" Panel 1: Lauren looks up at a towering shelf of books and says, "I really should read the books I own instead of borrowing new ones." Panel 2: Lauren looks at monitor and says, "Oh but that new Iron Circus book is on the hold shelf. I'll grab it when I go to Baby Bounce." Panel 3: The Libby icon pings next to an iPhone. Lauren says, "Oh! I've been wanting to read that Naomi Kritzer book." Panel 4: The Libby icon pings again. Lauren says, "Ooh, and 'The Route of Ice and Salt.'" Panel 5: The Libby icon covers Lauren's face as she looks at her phone. Lauren says, "And that Chuck Tingle novel!" Panel 6: Lauren is now tapping on her phone surrounded by word balloons that say "Hold." Lauren says, "OK, I give up."

Yesterday I had a bunch of kids sculpt character heads out of clay so they use them as reference to draw head turns. Some of characters started out alive but mysteriously died by the end of the class period
A clay dog head sits on top of a bamboo skewer while a kid draws the head from different angles The same dog head, but now it has been impaled by additional bloody bamboo skewers and has Xs on its eyes
