Work in progress. I still have to figure out the background.

Recoding yourself as an artist can be very humbling, but useful too!

I ended up fixing the knuckles and wrist after the fact.

Also making decisions is not a strength of mine. Especially when I’m mostly drawing from imagination or without a clear reference or idea for the end result.

I forgot to share this here yesterday. I’m attempting to get over my hesitation when inking.

An older illustration I still like, even though I could probably do better now.

I’m trying to get this page of sketches and a few others edited by tomorrow!

Then starts the inking phase 🖋️

This piece has never felt quite right, but I really love the texture of the fur and the softness of it.

I’m trying to be a more intentional inker and a less messy artist, but focusing is not a strength of mine. Most of the pages of this new manga I’m working on might need to be re-inked. We’ll see, maybe touch ups will be enough. I’d rather move forward, but I still want it to feel cohesive.

The "Is it a constitutional crisis yet?!" discussion is so absurd: Of course you can construct increasingly esoteric definitions for why this current moment doesn't meet your exact criteria yet. But meanwhile, this is where we are: Masked agents of the states abducting people for writing op-eds.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Working on some new illustrations, showcasing some of the stories that Gix and I plan on making into comics. Here's a sketch of one of them so far.

More “barging”, please. Also “storming.” We could use more “storming.”
Reps. Judy Chu (D-Calif.) and Gwen Moore (D-Wisc.) barged into House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office unscheduled on Wednesday and challenged him about Elon Musk's team gaining access to a sensitive payment system at the Treasury Department.

Not always *literally* true of course—some have better luck with 1 and 3 in particular—but I think there's an *emotional* truth to this.

Sending love to any artists who find solace or affirmation reading it this morning. 🤍
I've been thinking a lot about comics lately and the craft and calling of making them. So I wrote myself a comics manifesto. Please comment, share, steal, or disregard.
