Friends, my little brother is undergoing chemo for a very treatable form of leukemia. He's not destitute or anything, but his treatment comes with a hefty out-of-pocket upfront cost. He's our town's beloved coach/teacher/first responder, so folks here want to support him with a benefit auction.

Oof. Over $4,000 in medical bills from my first ER visit (misdiagnosed), my intensive care visit (misdiagnosed) and my second ER visit (diagnosed!) And I'm still looking at minor surgery post-diagnosis.
BTW, if any editors are reading this, I am SUCH a fucking good comics writer, you have no idea.

Hi #PortfolioDay. I'm Alison and I like to draw pages which tell a story- comics, book covers, illustrations, all sorts. I like the puzzle of the job: thinking of a good idea to do what is needed in a striking way, am available for book and comic covers in 2026.
