As is tradition at this point, I’ve got annual Halloween themed Western Regions illustrations planned! With the first one dropping tomorrow featuring the Classic crew and the second topping on Friday with the Beyond crew! It’s wild that I’ve been making seasonal pics yearly for several years now. ;;

Yayyy power outage! 😁 I LOVE WHEN THAT HAPPENS FAHDHFKGLG

It’s apparently a common occurrence where I live. Where a little rain and wind is enough to knock out the power lines. Might as well be made of tooth picks and popsicle sticks.

Amanda and Liz sure love to get up close. 🔎💕

I’m sure they also love a good switcheroo. AAANYWAYS I love drawing Amanda and Liz, from my webcomic Detective Reyes, being silly and all over each other.

Unless I somehow magically come up with the money I need to book a hotel, pay for gas, pay for food in Pasadena, the day pass etc. it all adds up and I just can’t do it. That’s the 2nd year in a row. It’s such a small trip considering and yet it sucks to suck.

Ramon Salinas @ Comms open pinned! @ramonsalinasart.bsky.social · 2d

Ok I can officially confirm that I won’t be going to LightBox. I simply I can’t afford the trip from here. It sucks to have missed out pretty much every con I wanted to go to for one reason or another. I really am stuck where I am. :/

Thank you all so much for liking and helping to share my original characters/projects! It’s so hard for me to push out and get eyes/readers on my art and webcomics and clients for my commissions. I’m honestly still struggling a lot to do any of these but your support gets me a little closer. 🙏😭
