I make comics and jokes and mistakes. I am queer and autistic and delightful.

HAPPY OCTOBER I updated my seasonal decor 🎃
A small tabletop display with a glass vase of autumnal dried flowers, a plushie spider with smiley face, a green bowl containing a pine cone, a tiny pumpkin, and some artificial blossom branches.

Tis the season for cute outfits 🥰
It is I, doing a mirror selfie, in a long brown pleated skirt, blue waistcoat and roguish cream-coloured blouse with frilly sleeve cuffs. It's gently implying fantasy librarian or light academia.

When you need to be ready for advent 2 months in advance but you also don't believe the world was created in 6 days
#autismcoded
A chocolate advent calendar that has pictures of dinosaurs all over it and no reference to Christmas. The label says "dinosaurs and other prehistoric reptiles" anticipating all the autistic kids about to complain at length to their parents about which species are not true dinosaurs.

Trees. So good. Does loving trees this hard make me a druid?
Looking through my window frame over the top corner of a screen the whole space is full of sunlit green leaves with a little of the tree branches visible.

I'm still not ready to shut up about how much I love autumn! I have brought a bit of nature up into my flat - I can't really access nature directly but store-bought is fine.
A small table holds a glass vase of dried flowers and grasses in autumnal colours, and a dish of pot pourri with dried sliced oranges and a pine cone, with bright sunlight touching the whole setup.

I've been participating in the classic autistic activity of trying to look at every stone on the beach and taking the best ones home.
6 unusual rocks on a terracotta tile. One looks like Nemo, one has a ghost on it, one looks like orange peel, one has an interesting blue patch, one has very thin stripes, and one is brown with black scribbles on that could be fossils.

I like making things. I remembered I had some book binding stuff so I'm testing it out. Do people hand make hardback zines/comics? I've heard of people printing and binding their favourite fanfic and that's a bit lovely.
A messy desk with a partially constructed notebook, the pink cover separate from the paper that will become its pages. Tools like a craft scalpel, bone folder, metal ruler and mechanical pencil plus white and pink offcuts are in shot.

Thinking about comfort characters makes you feel better so you’d think they’d be someone wholesome, but it’s often a serial killer, monster, the most toxic boyfriend imaginable, or somehow all 3 combined...
4 cropped illustrations of Hannibal Lecter from my comic "I am Perfectly Normal" in which he is wearing his iconic red plaid suit and doing canon-compliant activities like looking smug, murder, cooking, and making meat-based décor.

Sometimes I spontaneously back a Kickstarter, and because I've made the decision so quickly I don't remember it 3 months later when my little treat arrives
Selfie of me, a white woman with brown hair and black glasses, posing with a siren-head plushie which is also brown, a bit skeletal looking, with a siren full of teeth pressed close to my cheek. In the background is a large photo of a leafy tree, a stack of Warhammer boxes, and a wooden figurine

I forgot that by making a comic about myself I'd be subject to the mortifying ordeal of being known. These are all from the same comic, the style and colour shifts to reflect my emotional state at different parts of the story.
I Am Perfectly Normal, available at the @ldcomics.bsky.social fair
A 9 part grid of illustrations of me, a brown hair white woman in glasses, all taken from my comic at different parts of the story where the art style shifts over time, so some are colour, some grey scale, and one is just red

Just to prove that everything in my comic is true (even the part where the statue talks) here is me in real life Vs how I draw myself

Side by side images of me, a middle aged white woman with brown hair in a striped t-shirt and light brown skirt, the left image is a mirror selfie showing my face and the right image is an illustration showing me from behind in the same outfit.

How freaking cute is this?! Simone Lia signed her new Fluffy book for me, I love that cartoonists draw their characters when doing signings ♥️

If you upset me I may draw you with a horror face in a comic that will exist forever (coming soon to an @ldcomics.bsky.social fair near you)
Part of a watercolour illustration looking over a woman's shoulder showing a white man with black spirals in place of his eyes and mouth and an urban background.

I got an evil colouring book to practice my inking control
A partially filled in black and white spiral that looks evil and hypnotic (when you fill the whole thing in it reveals an image)

I made a little test print of the digital comic I made for the @ldcomics.bsky.social fair coming up in July - even though it'll be available in PDF format I am a physical object person at heart 💕
A little white comic titled "I am perfectly normal" with an illustration of a squirrel on the front and glimpses of other colourful pages inside. It is standing on a flat tablet computer on top of a pack of Xerox paper, surrounded by a pink bean-shaped plushie, some upright paint brushes, an artificial red rose in a slim vase, and floral net curtains in the background.

Buckle up folks, today we're in magenta hell
My white person hand in pink fingerless glove holding a pencil with "magenta hell" embossed in gold on the side and out of focus illustration in the background.

Decided to be bold and go to London to see comics artists speak @cartoonmuseum.bsky.social
View from several rows back in a seated audience at the Cartoon Museum. The room is white but the lights are dimmed so the projected logo of "there was screaming everywhere" is visible.

For a comic that's not about squirrels I sure am drawing a lot of squirrels.

Happy mail! Thanks @piperstrangeart.bsky.social
A thin parcel wrapped in light blue tissue paper sealed with a pink thank you sticker that has a cute face and hearts on it. Spread on a sheet of light blue tissue paper is a comic called "My Gender is Rats" by Piper Strange, a rat bookmark, rat sticker, rat pin, and greyscale minicomic. Inside cover of the comic Piper has drawn 2 rats, one says "why angy?" And the other, with an angry face, replies "no treats!"

When you're a WFH office worker in the week and a traditional artist at the weekend
Messy desk featuring a computer monitor with a half painted page taped to it with red washi tape. You can also see bits of other pages, my hanky, messy cables, and an Astarion funko pop.

Public debate is alive and well in the city
A black board with graffiti, first "earth is flat" in all caps, second someone has replied "nah bro". The "L" in "flat" has been partially rubbed away so it can also be read as "earth is fat".

Who else is doing analogue art? Making a mess with erasers and getting free asmr every time the pencil touches the paper

Another beautiful day in the city 🥰
