My starter pack! I almost never do art trends (due to no time) but this one is SO cute that I HAD to. Nessadrawn comes with sweets, a comic book, and a huge dog. And she's 100% hand-drawn by a real human artist!

As a lover of children's picture books (+ cynical twists on them) and a member of a group program that practices inner child work, this is the FUNNIEST testimonial for a comic I've seen in a long time! 🤣

My first drawing in Clip Studio Paint! I feel like a baby who doesn't know anything, yet kind of like I'm growing up as a comics illustrator 🎨🖌️🤩

Meet more characters from my graphic novel: Part hot girl boss babe, part attention-seeking hurt inner child, Cynthia is Manny’s childhood friend who held onto her crush on him through high school and into adulthood. She later starts her own burlesque troop after a failed acting career.

Don't let us lose bird, pollinator, environmental, and scientific research to the federal grant freeze! 💚🪺🦉 Donate ANY amount to birdpop.org and I'll send you this free sticker I made!

Just DM me or comment here once you donate!

I'm giving away a free pigeon sticker to anyone who donates any amount to my partner's bird nonprofit that's trying to make it though federal grant withholdings: birdpop.org
Just DM me once you've donated!

One thing I have power to do within this landscape of turmoil is build community. The latest Art Club focused on polymer clay so we all bumbled our way through making silly animals. I'm so grateful for everyone who came together for quality fun times.

All I want for Valentine's Day is your support for my partner's bird nonprofit to help them make it through the federal grant freeze. He used to help revitalize the California condor population so I drew him these two. Enjoy and help him raise funds with merch:

It's a dark day for environmental nonprofits trying to survive the illegal federal grant freeze. Help my partner's org that preserves our ecosystems by studying birds survive a little longer: Check their new bird merch! Badass owl shirts and adorable warbler totes:

Meet the charas of my comic! Best friend Russell is the extroversion to Manny's "meh." A confident card dealer who helps Manny through all his stupid decisions with a surprising level of responsibility. But why does he feel the need to always surround himself with a posse? Is he hiding something?

Let's introduce the characters of my upcoming graphic novel! Meet main character Manny, a small-town guy who thinks escaping his troubled home life to the big city will solve his problems. We follow his journey in therapy and learn why he does what he does, plus how to heal.

Poster for my upcoming graphic novel about mental health! I'm about 180 thumbnail pages in, so follow along to learn more about the story and topics like core beliefs and how to change them, maladaptive coping mechanisms, dysfunctional family roles, and so much more!

Sometimes you need even the smallest reminder of faith in humanity. Here's a true story comic video that pulls faith from a dark place.

Nice to meet ya! I'm nessa, an illustrator working on a 250+ page graphic novel about mental health. Follow me to get the story, see art and zine community events, and talk about drawing!
