Reposting older art until I feel better. On the marketing grind. Here's a lovely lady, her name is Lati and she's the best wife to her human hippie husband.

I've been beating myself up for not being artistically successful after a lifetime of being told "it's all in your head." Learning that I may have Crohn's disease and have been putting in 10000% effort to reach average goals. I will be getting a diagnosis soon. Character development. Super burnout.

Your pin designs cater very specifically to my love of medical history, the victorian era, and deep sea creatures.
Awesome work!

In my teens, I was very hyperfixated on radiation biology and industrial architecture to the point where I would sometimes go visit a nearby nuclear power plant. I used to wear a gear I found in an abandoned steel factory as a necklace, hahaha. Talk about weird. It's still interesting to me, though!

An older piece from 2021, which is a redraw of an even older character.
Cercla is a Psychonauts fan character I made when the game first came out in 2005. She is a PSI Cadet/daughter of a Chernobyl engineer, and her main PSI-Power is confusion.
Her name is a reference to a 1980's biohazard act. ☣️

Autism isn’t a flaw it’s a different way
of seeing the world. I don’t apologize for
how my brain works. I’m proud of my
perspective, my strengths, and yes,
even my struggles. Because every shade
of autism is important and beautiful.

What if they were here for the political articles, but unfollowed you for the big titty goth girls?

It is, I totally agree. I did it for the past month, but I think I should probably extend it.
We'll make it! I hope you're feeling better. 💜

Chronic illness sucks. I really spent my entire summer coloring the first pages of my comic for a pitch, then ran out of steam to write the pitch in time for the horror season, because multiple health issues took me out.

Being diagnosed with high-functioning autism/asperger's last year has been life-changing. Life isn't better yet, but everything makes sense now. It also opened my eyes to the conditions that are comorbid with autism, some of which I'm certain I have - so that's going to be another diagnosis journey.

Sometimes I think about existential philosophy, and sometimes I think about how Dr. Neo Cortex from Crash Bandicoot was born into a family of clowns in Peoria, Illinois.

The last ten years of my life have been a weird shift from "I'm going to make a big impact with my stories!" to "Okay maybe I just want to move to a remote island with only cats and live humbly and simply."

This would single-handedly transform the lives of everyone I know in such profound ways it is difficult to fully articulate, but it would also let us actually make more and different and crazy things

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Set in the mid-Victorian era, a crafty quack doctor and a somber undertaker become mismatched partners in crime, selling cadavers to a medical school ⁠— however, certain decisions and personal differences create issues in their business.

It's a good time for webcomic creators to read about the alt comix movement of the 1960's. History repeats itself and I'm doomed with pattern recognition.

20/20 hindsight is being in denial about being autistic, then getting excited seeing 1900's blast furnaces.

As a teen, I used go with my dad to look at a nearby power plant, because I loved the architecture. Luckily for him, he's the source of my genetics, but...good lord.

Kraftwerk tickles my brain on both a nerdy and musical level, I'm convinced they were all aspies too after deep diving into their work recently.

Using a geiger counter as an instrument in a song about radioactivity is profoundly autistic, lol.
