a quick comic to dispel the demon of having not made a comic

Emma sits peacefully with a cup of coffee. “It’s nice to take a few days where I’m not pushing myself to make something,” she thinks. She takes a sip of coffee. Her shadow lurches out from behind her and yells PURPOSE NOT BEING FULFILLED

Scrunchy and Sirius share a hot tub. You’re supposed to wear swimsuits in those, you know

Was doing a group Vograce order for charms and my friend kept trying to load my Wraith art to the site. It was the ONLY design Vograce’s site didn’t like.

idk man if I had just lost my kid to a school shooting and the news cycle was dominated by people loudly mourning the loss of a guy whose life’s work was radicalizing people, largely children, into thinking that’s a cool and normal thing to do while contributing nothing else, I’d probably go insane

Many people are asking what they can actively do towards conventions. Emailing convention coordinators about Marco huge. The google docs has screenshots, evidence, and sources that make it easy for staff to reference.

If you are a regular at conventions, I’m sure you’ve run into a booth named Salami Productions. This booth is run by a man named Marco. Marco regularly booths at Artist Alley, and has woven art displayed all over their booth alongside spicy stickers.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them.

Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!”

Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.”

Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face.

Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.
