Setting up for Genghis Con today, Cleveland's indie comics and small press show. 💛

I've been organizing the workshops for 4 years, the DIY Zone for 3. And now I am stepping down from that role with a stellar replacement ready! ⭐

Looking forward to focusing on teaching furry cartooning!!! 😻

My first watercolor comic in a long time! "Why I Bought my Fursuit" was made for a primarily local, non-furry audience.

Ongoing thesis. Every day is #makeaterriblecomicday if you want it to be >:3
A scanned image of a sketchbook featuring a text-laden comic. Text in the first panel reads "Let's speak plainly. I like to tell a joke. I enjoy people laughing at something funny I did or made or said. I intend this. When I don't intend it, I pretend I did." In this panel, a wolf is shown against a background of brick speaking to a laughing audience, stating, "Where am I? Which way to the restroom?" In the next panel, text reads "There are also things I am angry about that I am trying to draw attention to. This is often 3, 5 times deep into a joke from the surface level." Below this text, a wolf regards a book open on a librarian's pedestal, remarking "You photocopied a book from a kindle??" which another wolf look one with a sense of devious accomplishment. In the next panel, text reads "When such a statement is revealed after the laughter, after the humor has opened a place in one's heart, it's a good as a labyrinth. Time and space to lower defenses and receive a message deep inside, to contemplate one's own self, to think on it. The laughing wolf from the previous panel is found at the end of a floor labyrinth, doubled over with emotion at an open book. The other wolf from the previous panel looks on, twiddling his fingers deviously. The final panel depicts a Venn diagram with two overlapping circles. The left circle reads "Humor as a disarming device" the second reads "presenting ideas as a funny cartoon animal" in the overlapped area, the author's fursona, a simply drawn cartoon wolf, winks at the viewer.

I made a trifecta of comics for my local group's annual comics anthology! I used the constraints of my upcoming class's final project, to practice! Here's the first comic. 💙🐶

As someone who's deeply invested in clear wayfinding and transit info, there's something surreal about seeing your maps shared to thousands of attendees by a major fur con 🥰

Good news! I did the math and it turns out the Toothless parade balloon is 72 feet long which means if my calculations are correct it will DEFINITELY fit in my 20 foot wide master bedroom!

Being a pooltoy with a head full of air means I are good at math and there is nothing wrong with this plan! 😊

A cartoon drawing of three wolves surrounding an early home computer with a slot in the top for a slice of bread. Two using the computer hold a stack of cut bread and hold bread in their mouth, respectively, while looking at a bespectacled wolf stating "Mom says it's my turn on the VideoGrain™." In the background, a television monitor displays a Pong-like videogame, with the text "03 Butter 01" at top, and a pat of butter and a figure holding a piece of toast as the sprites. Below, three drawings with inset text are present. The first shows a dog holding multiple loaves of bread with the text "We're in our no loaves refused arc." The second shows the same dog with his legs spread wide atop a giant loaf of bread, with the text "You'll 'spread' joy this holiday season with VideoGrain!" The third shows various animals gleefully eyeing both a giant potato and a television set displaying a live video image of potatoes au gratin. Text reads "See also: VideoGratin™"

Look at this awesome writeup by cartoonist John Porcellino about his day-long workshop with Lynda Barry!

I've always considered my drawing activities as "open source" spinoffs of hers. Awesome that she seems to have called them open source that day. ❤✍🌐

So I have two options for drawing my fursona as a parade balloon, and if I had to choose, it has to be GabuCat, right? He gives more parade balloon energy! 😼🎈
