Get to know me through some of my most popular artworks! <3
When I made the hard decision not to go to any American cons for the foreseeable future, I never thought it would get this bad.

My heart is with my American friends and fans: I hope things get better.

Come see me next week at Toronto's Fan Expo, table P40! I'll have art prints, stickers, hand made silkscreen prints and more! Last chance this year to grab IN PERSON commissions!

I am begging someone to request KPOP Demon Hunters! 🥹

First 20 to mention their favorite scene get a free mini print!

You know sometimes between jobs I think to myself "what am I even doing? Am I even a worthwhile creator?"

Then I end up having to grab some old reel or artwork I did and go down the 15 year rabbit hole of my own work and, have to admit "goddamn I am actually pretty damn skilled."

Generative AI tools do not liberate us, they do the opposite: they’re a tool for conformity. That’s why the fascists love them. They poop out artless dreck, preprogrammed with the biases and prejudices of whoever made them. They are literally and figuratively dehumanizing.

Not sure why I always set myself up for the hardest task possible, but yeah I've got these handmade silkscreen prints I make in my kitchen: they'll be available this weekend. 🫠

Making silkscreen prints at home, out of your garage, is INCREDIBLY labour intensive. Like, it's a seriously bad idea. You wouldn't want to do it with a deadline on top of everything else.

So yeah, I'm in my garage and...

When you use AI, it uses you. You’re the currency.

It might seem free for now, but the costs to the future of human thinking/feeling by way of no longer writing/reading are going to be immense.

to me, “you should create for yourself” and “you deserve to be acknowledged for what you make” are two statements that should coexist. chasing engagement will rot your soul, while being neglected will see your passion wither. loving what you make is a failsafe for when the engagement never comes.

This is why I had to make the very tough decision not to visit the US. I love Americans but... It be crazy over here right now.
Foreign Friends with Travel Plans to the U.S. for Conventions:

A bit back I said you should maybe reconsider those plans.

I would like to amend my prior statement.

Cancel them. Cancel them now. We cannot keep you safe from our own government. Take your holiday in Spain or something.

5 dollars and you support not only this show, you also support the hundreds of creators who count on it.
TCAF is proud to champion comics as a vital art form.

In this political climate, protecting the arts as a source of revolutionary self-expression has never been more important.​

But like many nonprofit arts orgs, TCAF is experiencing financial challenges.

Just a reminder to friends and fans heading to #C2E2 this weekend: while I'm there in spirit, I'm sadly NOT there in person. 💔

Will be very happy to return to the US and the con scene when border relations improve. :)

No one cares to see your vacation picture in a Ghibli style. The world has become so narcissistic.

Go for a walk, touch some grass. Roll down a hill.
