Hello! I’m Alina (known online as Beanie). I make autobio comics and animations and also various children’s books and graphic novels ✨✨✨ I’ve been on a bit of an online hiatus but working on lots of cool things behind the scenes. I love dogs, fantasy stories and video games 🥰
A graphic with two graphic novel covers - The Great Puptective and The Great Puptective II Purranormal Activity. A water colour style illustration of a puppy in a cute blue dress A short comic of a little pink haired girl befriending her new toy lion, then she dreams about it being a big real lion chasing her and growling by. She wakes up and points at the toy lions face “I thought we were friends lion!! How could you.” An illustration of three mysterious witch characters doing some magic

Me and my friend started a YouTube channel where we play drawing games (and sometimes video games) and chat and be goofy. Our new video goes up in 6 mins and we usually hang out in the live chat for the premiere :3

This is why we all freak out about theft btw, bc just a few copies can make an actual, real difference. you would be surprised at how few copies someone needs to make it onto a bestseller list

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Actually question for Canadian pals with art shops - how are we feeling about the whole shipping situation these days? It's been sounding kinda rough for many reasons lately :'0. Is it a bad time for me to start a shop next year? feel free to dm me with opinions

I’m do it aaaa. Early New Year’s resolution - start up my small shop sometime in 2026 🤞

I am starting to consider opening an online store again. Last time I worked with a collective who helped me run it but as a result I wasn’t able to be involved in every aspect. I want to try again and maybe start small with a sticker shop in the new year. I just really love designing trinkets 🥺

I always forget about it, but I do actually have an INPRNT store. There's not a LOT on there but since I've had to close down my own shop a while ago and maybe you've wanted a print from me - you can get one there!

One of the early drawings I did of Peanut, Rosie, Mira and their parents - the characters from my graphic novel My Sister the Werebeast. This was long before it had any possibility of becoming a book. I love this silly little family. ☺️
An illustration of a cartoony family - characters from My Sister the Werebeast by Alina Tysoe. There are two parents - mom is looking through a telescope, the dad is holding a briefcase (he also has blue hair and sharp teeth), there are two teen daughters Mira and Rosie. Mira is holding a book and Rosie has a paintbrush tucked behind her ear. At the centre is the baby sister Peanut who has one sharp tooth and her dad’s blue hair

Convincing you to read my book with the first sentence. Share yours if you want.

(First sentence and spread of My Sister the Werebeast)
A spread from a comic book My Sister the Werebeast. Three witch-like characters are posing in front of a purple sky background. The text reads “Many hundreds of years ago.. this world belong to - the magicians.”

I’ve trying to learn to knit to see if I can have a chill hobby. I don’t know how to fix mistakes yet so when I mess up I just undo the whole thing and start from scratch 🫣. But each time it’s better at least? Just undid all of this lmao. I like the process though
