I have so much shit to draw before the holidays but my brain is too fried from the sickies to do anything, being forced to rest STINKS

a better look at the zine now that MICE is over! 🎨✨

I was lucky enough to attend a few MICE panels this year! I love listening to cartoonists talk about their work 😊 🎨✨

the Youtube Music recap this year was so ugly and felt so inaccurate that I made my own zine version out of spite in just 2 days, lol

If you're at MICE this weekend, I'll have copies of the Bone Squad art book at table 51, alongside other incredible work from the Spin Rack Comics Collective! 😁 Come see the proof I've still been drawing, I'm just slow on the comics front, haha

before this post I asked my sister to help choose a photo and she handed my phone back after speedily making this edit 😭😂

happy to announce I’ve continued my schtick of dressing as ace attorney characters for weddings bc formal wear is a mystery to me

this costume immediately fell apart and no one recognized it but all that matters is I love any excuse to dress up 🎭

my pal Martin gifted me a knockoff Labubu, along with a necklace of the Crest of Courage, so he cleverly dubbed it “Lafufumon.” I’m not subscribed to the toy craze but it was super sweet and I couldn‘t resist drawing the little guy once Digimon was involved.

experimented with some possible Jenny Sexbabe redesigns, just for funsies—you never forget your first (D&D character) ❤️

rewatching The Weekenders counts as having weekend friend plans, right?

…right? 🥲

Back at the Ocean State Renaissance Faire this weekend doing caricatures like last year! I’ll also be peddling my usual wares and debuting a new 72-page Bone Squad art book ☠️❤️

I’ll be in the New Lobby Friday Aug 22 during the 7-10pm 21+ event and in the Streetside Market area (A5) Sat-Sun 11AM-5PM.

I had the pleasure of seeing a developmental performance of Ink and Paint, a musical about the women who worked at Disney in the 40s, and I’m really rooting for its future! I wanna be able to yell about this show with other artists (who I easily imagine listening to the album while working) ❤️

another reason to love the library: sometimes you find little gifts in the form of forgotten makeshift bookmarks 😭💖

Accidentally wrote this like bizarre dialogue from an NPC but yknow what, it fits. Happy almost-10-years, Undertale!

back on my “reading One Piece from the beginning” train and oh no…Chopper’s intro arc is hitting especially hard…
July 25, 2025 at 6:58 PM
my literal reaction to opening hitting play was “PATRICK STUMP?!”

I don’t even go here and I’m feeling targeted

in honor of non-binary day here's a Noname doodle from 2020 that made me go "wait, they may be on to something…" 🤔🪨

I guess while this is popping off…did ya'll know I drew a whole graphic memoir about improv and reference Whose Line within the first few pages? 🎭
July 14, 2025 at 1:11 AM
had the big brain realization that you could just whip up a whole D&D cast/NPC list from Whose Line prompts alone

the fourth is over, let the real celebration begin

been 3 years since I updated my icon so tonight’s “stop doomscrolling” activity was drawing up a new self-portrait

In a time where the LGBTQ+ community, especially trans folk, are under threat and being stripped of rights, I acknowledge how lucky I am to have this opportunity. But still, I wanna revel in the queer joy. And then fight like hell for my friends. 💖 (4/4)
