hi #PortfolioDay! i'm kaylee & i'm a comic artist / illustrator / zinemaker who loves telling brightly-colored ghost stories. i'm currently working on my first full-length graphic novel!

an illustration in shades of purple, red, pink, and black of various picture frames with ghosts in them - a woman with flowers growing out of her neck, another without a head and with floating eyeballs and nerves where a head should be, one with a red gash in the canvas, one holding a severed head on a plate.

a haunted lighthouse drawn mostly in purple, with bright red veins spiraling up the side of it and overgrown plants sprouting on either side.

a comic page showing a demon woman wreathed in smoke and flame, clearly trying to intimidate the ghost she's talking to. in wavy black speech bubbles, she says "I am ancient, I am unbound, and I am unyielding. My name is Fel, human, and I am a demon." the ghost, a black woman in a 60s-style outfit, looks scared for a moment, then excited, saying "Oh my gosh, demons are real too? That's so cool! And it explains the horns! I was wondering about those, but it felt rude to ask." fel is burying her face in her hand in frustration by the last panel.

an illustration in pinks and teals of two girls sitting on the floor playing with a ouija board. they're looking at each other in a lesbian sort of way. a ghostly hand joins theirs on the planchette. there's a large window behind them showing the moon outside

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

there's still a few features it's lacking for me compared to photoshop but i'd love to get away from adobe bullshit and be able to switch over to only procreate too!

kaylee rowena (haunted) 🫀 @kayleerowena.com · 2d

all i need now is for procreate to let me use blending modes and masks on folders instead of just individual layers and then i'd maybe switch over for everything tbh

kaylee rowena (haunted) 🫀 @kayleerowena.com · 2d

for anyone wondering how to do this: go here in a brush's settings + turn on alpha threshold!

a screenshot of procreate's brush settings menu, pointing to "alpha threshold" turned on under the "rendering" tab.

kaylee rowena (haunted) 🫀 @kayleerowena.com · 2d

my go-to brush in photoshop is just a round brush with like 80% softness set to dissolve & there has been frustratingly no way to replicate that in procreate. until now maybe???

every single time I check the federal reserve's "Distribution of Household Wealth in the U.S." graph, I think for a second that "bottom 50%" is the bottom big slice- and then realize in horror that it's the tiny sliver at the bottom

this is probably for the best overall bc the thread i was using already wasn't really the right color for what i was sewing so now i'll have to go buy more thread and can buy some in the correct color. but i'm still mad about it

kaylee rowena (haunted) 🫀 @kayleerowena.com · 2d

i was sooooo in the zone sewing + ready to finish this dress tonight and then i ran out of thread and i dont have any more in remotely the right color..... hell world

Job occupations, from an 1881 census. Every one of these sounds like something a sorely provoked Captain Haddock would should at someone in times of heavy stress.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Independent comics as an industry would barely exist these days without the tireless efforts of Kickstarter's staff behind the scenes. As they advise, keep supporting all the amazing projects you already are, but have their back in the process.

Kickstarter United @kickstarterunited.org · 13d

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.
