But, Liana! I thought you were blonde!

WELL! Some folks say yolo, so I bit the bullet on my baby blues and my grandma apparently really loves it! (Photo with @falstin.bsky.social!)

Where to find me IRL:

I have been spending a lot of time on the convention circuit as of lately. It’s given me a nice reprieve from working at my desk 24/7 and allows me to meet folks again, sell my comps, and get out of the house/studio. I’m so grateful to Galaxy Con!

I would trade stickers for a pocari sweat at dragon con! (I think the vendor is on the 2nd floor!)

I’ve heard Bill Withers on shuffle driving across lake ponchatrain, leaving San Jose and running around Memphis just in the last month or so.

Things are bleak, but I want to remind you that artists exists to tell you that we will make it through.

“Then I look at you…”

Did you all catch Timothy Zahn, Chris Sprouse and I on the Star Wars panel this weekend? Thank you to who carried us too, a walking (running) Star Wars knowledge, Jonathan.

Damn, wish i knew the five year foreshadowing of this:
1) I would aesthetically dress exactly like Mariko AND Rem.
2) @barkmouchard.bsky.social would be at a record store with me IRL in the future, just like in the panel.
3) I am following my dreamssssss a la Mariko.

This was drawn in 2020!

Super pumped for Galaxy Con San Jose CA this weekend! I will be there all 3 days doing signings, slinging merch and drawing a ton, but you can also find me at the cosplay 5k (I willingly signed up for this!) on Saturday, or two panels (Star Wars and Crowdfunding) on Sunday! #SanJose #ComicConvention

Not even the piano scene, but specifically the kitchen car scene in Mission Impossible 7 can kindly exit the room.
I don’t want to see you ever again sir.

One of my largest selling items at my booth during conventions recently has been my sticker sheets of my original characters for Falernum Cove.

Drawing fan art or contract work is super fun, but don't forget to create for you, because beyond you, your work still has an audience waiting for it. 💙

Folks all up on their labubu search but I’m still just trying to cop that massive smorkin labbit.

One year ago, Galaxy Con reunited me with my Finnish cousins— via one of them surprising me in cosplay at my table! I lost touch with them before college, and since then we check in often to get to know each other! This year last week, the oldest flew in and they all visited me together! 💖😭

If you love Murderbot on Apple TV+, you'd love Seeds of Eden by @joecorallo.bsky.social & I, with Paul Azaceta at TKO STUDIOS!
