Fam dropped off gifts today—which was the ideal plan—and yet I had to cover them all with a sheet because having them in view is stressing me out. 🫣

No hate to y’all who love xmas; I consider myself a reasonable grinch. I’d just rather skip the whole thing. 🫠

A messy joco about holiday feels.

Messy joco (journal comic) about social anxiety and how I suck at being human, lol.

How do you cope as a self-identified ND suffering from internalized ableism when you have a grade A meltdown because this is deeply unsustainable and I would rather do a violins on myself than let anyone see me like this.

Related: here’s a painting I did about Rejection Sensitivr Dysphoria.

Patreon’s very official email:

“Thanks to a recent U.S. court ruling, Apple must now allow apps to offer U.S. based users checkout options outside of Apple’s in-app purchase system (which includes the 30% Apple fee)—something that was previously prohibited under Apple’s App Store requirements.”
A drawing of a girl with a speech bubble above her, which says “OMG, Patrons! Guess what??” The girl is holding a big white sign that says “Apple users no longer have to pay a 30% FEE—😍 which means more $ goes to creators like me, and not corporate space monkeys!” Underneath is a big pink YAY!!

“Audiobook.” You’ll never guess what the subject was. 💀

Listen: I KNOW why, but that doesn’t lessen my mind-blowing rage about it.

These aren’t my best inks; I worked smaller here, also fibro symptoms and dried up pens got in my way. I continue to be happy with the digital colors, though.
Comic in four panels panel 1: person with undercut and hoodie, headphones in ears, standing behind a sink and scrubbing a pan. light pink background. panel 2: closer shot of the same, but the person is scrubbing harder and has a slight frown. slightly darker pink background. panel 3: even closer shot of the same, but the person is frowning deeply and is scrubbing so hard the background has the words "scrub" all over it. pink background color. panel 4: person angrily throws hands in the air, headphones falling out of ears, screaming to the heavens: "Why is NOBODY talking about MENOPAUSE?!?"

Any other creatives struggling with ideas while watching You Es d€m0cracy collapse like a toddler colliding with a Jenga tower? How do you cope? If you’re somehow not struggling, where can I acquire the potent 🍃 stuff you probably medicate with? 💜
#neurodivergentartist #selfportrait
Pen and color image of the artist, a woman with an undercut, sitting at a desk and staring at the viewer, pencil limp in hand, phone barely held in the other. There’s a piece of paper with the word “poop” on it upside down. Behind her are flames. The text says “I don’t know what to draw when the world is on fire.”

A little late but happy galentines/valentines/palentines day to all who loved potatoes!

This quick-n-belated painting was inspired by my partner bringing home FOUR BAGS of frozen potatoes for me last week. If that ain’t love, then I don’t know what is!

#illustration #potatoesarelife
A circle of gold contains a bald person in a pale red tank top and lavender pants. They are cradling russet potatoes in one arm and gently dropping potato wedges with outstretchedg hand on the other arm. They have a peaceful happy expression and there is a long strip of heavenly white fabric behind them, as if wings. There are lines of gold paint shining behind them, and a gold halo over their head. Above and below the circle are the words “POTATOES ARE LOVE”.

Painted this 5 yrs ago for bae, for our first “official” ♥️ Day, though we were still an LDR. We have weird nicknames for each other. 🥫

An illustration of a can that says “Label’s Condensed Old Fashioned Soup” in the style of Campbells soup. The top half of the label is red and there is a fancy gold heart in the center. Above and below the illustration are the words “happy valentines day, you old can of soup.”

New art! This will be a sticker someday. First, I need the resources to order stickers. Aka: a few more subs on P-Tree would help! Link in bio.

Would you like a sticker? Let me know with a 😷. (Don’t worry, the finished one won’t have a dozen watermarks all over it.)

A blue ring with a lime green circle inside. Inside the blue ring are the words “we keep us safe” in pink bubble letters. Inside the green circle is a red heart, with orange flames above it, and scarlet blood dripping off below. The red heart has a white mask on. There are watermarks all over the image that says “LMB illos”.

I didn't necessarily SEE this Palmer-adjacent woman, but I saw a woman's face, the tilt of her head, the shape of her hair, and her bright, void-filled eyes. I saw her hands, barely cradling each other, her face, or the air. 5/

showed me during meditation. Symbols and postures and liminal spaces. On January 20th, and that week, it mostly showed me faces.

Crayon sketch of a woman’s face, her eyes empty, her hair one large smooth shape, her hands cracked beside her face. Crayon colors are orange and purple and yellow.

Today was a mixed bag. Some highlights include being floored at how rad my new GP is (imagine a dr actually working for you), shared-brain-cell humor with bb, and coloring my own coloring page with crayons.
A coloring sheet. Text reads “joy is resistance” in big yellow letters, the background is several patterns overlapping: swirls of red and purple, ripples of pink blue and white, and green bubbles over blue glitter.

Making art under current circumstances feels impossible, especially today, but apparently posting gets attention/income. Please enjoy a freebie from 2023 and how I wished I could have responded to casual #ableism at the grocers.

Apologies to Chevy Chase (but not really.) #journalcomic
A 6 panel comic in black and white: 1 an angry man gestures impatiently at someone wearing a mask and a hat, moving slowly and pushing a cart. The man thinks “move it!!!” 2 mask person tells the angry man “merry Xmas” 3 mask person gestures to their behind and says “kiss my ass” 4 mask person points to a random, coy person in a baseball hat and says “kiss his ass” 5 mask person holds up mistletoe next to the angry man’s behind and says “kiss YOUR ass” 6 mask person says “happy Hanukkah” and holds up a big sign that says “I’m disabled (you ass)” while the angry man seems overwhelmed now

Panel 1: a woman looks sadly down at her phone, which illuminate her face. Text reads: and in despair I bowed my head. Panel 2: clouds of black smoke rise from a small but crowded city. Text above reads: “there is no peace on earth,” I said.
