Streaming in 20 minutes! Might be the last time for a few weeks...because I got a new job! I'll probably talk about it shortly online--tbh it's been ten days between first interview and first day, so I'm kinda still processing. Wanted to get this chapter out before I started, though!

Because folks liked my latest pigeon comic so much, here's another pigeon piece!

I made this a couple years ago for a sadly now defunct publication called Pipe Wrench. I hope this piece helps spread more pigeon love.

#pigeon #bird #comic #cartoon #science 🪶
A comic titled "What is a City Pigeon? By Rosemary Mosco." There's a small pigeon shouting through a megaphone. Panel 1: A banner says "It's a Dinosaur. Like all birds, pigeons descended from dinos." A pigeon roars "coooo" over the silhouette of a dinosaur yelling RARR. Panel 2: The banner says "It's a Dove. A city pigeon or Rock Dove is a member of the pigeon and dove family." A pigeon stands in glorious rays of sparkling light, with a halo over its head. Panel 3: The banner says "It's a Domestic Animal. Pigeons were domesticated millennia ago for meat and fertilizer (poop)." A cow stands in a farmer's field, saying "moo." A pigeon looks up at it and says "coo." Both have just pooped. Panel 4: The banner says "It's a Purebred Pet. Like dogs & cats, pigeons come in fancy breeds." There are three fancy pigeons: A Birmingham Roller, with rusty feathers and splotches of white. A Fantail, with its head pushed back and a huge fanned out tail. A Saxon Fairy Swallow, with a crest and huge fan

A little preview of what's coming tomorrow in the next chapter of Asphalt Arcanum.

I'm really enjoying putting together this fake Discord chat :D

Putting together some graphics to go along with chapter 2 of Asphalt Arcanum. In this chapter we switch over to a new perspective character and meet The Discord Chat. And that means profile pics!

The version of Eiichiro Oda's eulogy for Toriyama Akira being passed around is from Google Translate, so I thought I would take a shot at it.

The first chapter of Asphalt Arcanum went live last night after the stream! I made a thread on the official twitter for anyone interested in reading the chapter.

Pick your favorite platform--it's on Substack, Tapas, Wattpad, Royal Road, and my own site :D

The stream went really well last night! Thanks to everyone who came out and listened or joined the chat!

I wanted to do a quick rundown for social media of how and where you can read Asphalt Arcanum.

We got a cat! Her name is Jem (short for Jemily, of course), and she is the friendliest little animal I've ever met--she immediately started following us around every time we get up. She's currently lounging on the chair I pulled up so she could hang out more easily while I'm at my computer.
Jem, an adorable tabby cat, sits up like a human. Jem, an adorable tabby cat, flops on her back after playing with a crinkle ball. Jem, an adorable tabby cat, looking pensively off to one side. I'm pretty sure there was a roast beef sandwich over in the direction she's looking. Jem, an adorable tabby cat, enjoys chin scritches on the floor.

I really love how the cover to my webnovel, Book of CoL, turned out. Thanks to Page's shapeshifting I was able to fit in tons of references to things that happen in vol 1.

Book of CoL is free to read on Tapas
tapas.io/series/Book-...
Digital illustration of two figures looking up at the camera. The man on the left wears a rumpled brown suit and tie with messy brown hair. The person on the right wears a blueish black suit and tie, their left arm is distorted and shapeshifts into a huge swirlling mass of things including but not limited to: an alligator head, giant crab legs, chainsaws, jet engine, bird wings, swords, a kitchen sink, and a box made of flesh wearing the same suit as the figure. A title reads "Book of CoL: The Ember Child" and a signature reads "Sarah 'Neila' Elkins 2022"
