I'm Birdee, a disabled amateur comic artist, working on The Magical Freelancer's Guild, a queer historical-fantasy! I post a lot about disability, other comics, and politics.

Follow @magicfreelance.bsky.social for just MFG posts, and linktr.ee/BirdeeBlake for all the places to read the comic!

🔥🐦!
The 2023 main cover of The Magical Freelancer's Guild. The main cast of Monty, Luca, Lana and Zendaya stand on the stone balcony of their guild hall, looking down at what appears tobe a fire below. Lana, Monty and Zen all look somewhat relaxed, while Luca looks startled. A digital painting of a group of people dressed in Edwardian-inspired fantasy party clothes. They are standing around a table laden with various Autumn foods. Both the characters and the feast are lit by the glow of two red candles on the table. Chapter 4, Page 4 of digital comic The Magical Freelancer's Guild. Monty, a man with long hair tied back in a ponytail, wearing a green and brown vest, rearranges some books on a shelf while talking to a person with chin-length brown hair and several bandages on their face. "Hey, Bert-- I heard you can tell a lot about someone by how they use Magic. For instance, you cast by reading aloud from a book, but you insist on translating it into Latin first." Snickering, Monty adds: "Does it not work if you're any less stuck-up?" The other character jumps up out of their seat, fuming. "Why you assho--" And is cut off by the return of a third character. Chapter 3, page 14 of The Magical Freelancer’s Guild. The panels at the top and bottom appear to be burning away to reveal the sepia-toned flashback panel in the middle.

I have been in the ER full of sick people for hours with my N95, and not caught anything.

My family member with shit lungs on two immunosuppressants? Has been in an airport, an ER, a house with someone with an active COVID infection.

And not caught those infections due to their N95.

Masking works. My respirator has kept me free from Covid and flu for six years. 😷

Vaccines are great, but not inhaling viruses into your body is super cool when vaccines do not provide 100% protection. Vaccines & masking in combination FTW.

If you thought Frankenstein's Tower in the Guillermo del Toro movie looked cool, check out the real-world inspiration behind it...

Digital illustration. A young blonde woman with her hair in a braid, wearing a lacy chemise and drawers. She's lying on a bed, with her legs held up in the air. She's holding a book close to her face and reading it with her mouth agape while twirling the end of her braid with her other hand.

Hi! I’m Incognito Pencil! I’m creating a scifi-fantasy webcomic called Proximity about fairies and humans in a post-apocalyptic world.

I’m currently working on a smaller comic first, about a side character, a young girl living outside the city walls.

Felt like sharing some random creative hobbies -- I consider myself a comic artist, illustrator and writer first, but you've gotta have hobbies! These tend to be floral (surprise!!)
Photograph of a rug in progress (being woven) on a loom. It has stripes of various shades of pink and white. Photograph of a hand holding a small bouquet of flowers. It features a white Icelandic poppy as well as some small wildflowers in bright yellows and purple. Photograph of a mannequin head with a flower crown on it. The flower crown has faux maple leaves in colors like purple and white. Dark purple flowers, dusty pink foliage, and faux thistles round out the crown. Photo of a wreath. It is made from foraged items such a pine branch I found in the ditch. It also contains dried florals and foliage from farm stands or my yard. It includes other foraged items such as asparagus fern and seed heads. Dried citrus, rose hips, cinnamon sticks, and a bow top it off.

I find it really funny that the story I currently have is extremely different from what I had a year ago even though the characters have been the same. So like. If you remember me saying anything about it before I started drawing the pages, chances are that's not how things are gonna happen at all 🤡

These two 🧡
Illustration of two men with long hair embracing. They wear simple tunics and stand with their foreheads touching. The elf on the right wears a flower crown on his long black hair, and he holds a bouquet over the shoulder of the red-haired fey on the left. Colors are soft and reminiscent of fall. Characters are from Alakotila's comic Spidersilk.

A defiant gaze

Broke my "No drawing on the mirrored canvas" rule for this one because positioning Gunwoo's eyes was a challenge.

Kari (man in the jacket and visor in the background) turns around and panickedly tells Gabi (character in the foreground with tight curls) not to punch Marc (offscreen) in the neck because that is totally not his weak spot. Gabi looks annoyed at this.

When Florian and Miriam straighten back up, Florian adjust his hold on her by moving both of his hands to her waist. He has a mischevious grin on his face. Their environment appears to be becoming bright and multicolor as Joseph resumes playing the song. Florian: In fact, I insist we botch it! Let's twirl all around until we're sick. Miriam smiles at him, still with tears of relief in her eyes. Miriam: Heh... heheh, aye, let's! Florian and Miriam hold each other close while spinning in careless circles. Florian: It's the Polka-Nausea! Miriam: Hehahah! Florian: That's more like it! A closeup of Miriam's face. She's laughing with her eyes closed as they twirl, her tears flying away on the wind. Miriam narrates: Perhaps the tea and cakes had just made me giddy... A shot of the music room. Joseph plays the song on the piano without much of a care, while Miriam and Florian continue to twirl around. Bright colors of various shades seem to engulf everything. Miriam narrates: But as our dancing went on, the world seemed to become more colorful and vibrant. A whirlwind of delirious euphoria. Freedom... at last. End of Chapter 2

We're socialized to constantly apologize for being too outwardly excited about things, but this world is so full of terror and misery that I'd rather see those bursts of light and passion shine through the cracks wherever you can find them.

It is a quote panel with blue fire and an orange background. The upper left says "Book 2, chapter 26, “Time To Whey In" The upper right has the logo for the novel "The Reincarnated Shapeshifter's Godly Feast". The quote reads “Guys as the one that got hurt can I say chill out?”

Fellas, is it more cruel to have people get invested in a character then surprise kill them off or is it more cruel to tell everyone right off the bat "BTW, this guy is dead. Adjust feelings accordingly" then make people wish that he wasn't dead?
