I'm overjoyed to announce that the children's book @ms-cupcake-drag.bsky.social and I made is available for preorder! It's work of love and I couldn't be more proud to have been a part of a project so special and dear to my heart.

Check out The Queer World of Ms. Cupcake!

arched sticker with a black background. text reads “NATURE IS QUEER” in a rainbow gradient and various marine animals swim above the text hand holding a transparent maple leaf shaped red pin. a rosy maple moth illustration sits in the center of the pin. hand holding a sticker of a mom and three baby opossums. Their eyes are holographic and look like they’re shining. hand holding a heart shaped white sticker that says “I ❤️ kelp” and kelp fills out the negative space in the heart shape.

A drawing of a witch in frankly a very impractical cowl + cloak combo levitating a book and looking at it with a very pissed off and over it expression. He is also wearing a cool pointy hat. His two ghost ex boyfriends are hovering around him being clingy and boring but hot I guess!! One is a fish guy with a partially severed head, and one is a faun person? I am creative. The witch is casting a spell to banish their asses back to the spirit realm after summoning them as a spell ingredient. The illustration features extremely bright colors of mostly purples, oranges, and pinks, with teal accents. His cloak is a starry sky. The magic beams around his hand are very stylized. For the search term magic: witch, witch boy, witches, ghost boyfriends, magic, witch art, curses, cough witch yaoi cough, cuties, pierced nipples lmfao

He may play a CREEP but Mark Duplass is a stand-up guy, as Duplass Brothers Productions is teaming up with the Transgender Film Center to launch the Found Footage Fund for trans filmmakers.

Carving out slivers of time with the spare change of creative energy at the end of the day to work on some soft personal work. WIP of a pony. 🎀 Remember to keep some creativity for yourself, when you can. 💙

A panel from a guest episode of Into the Smoke. Blaze, an androgynous man with shoulder-length red hair, stands smiling in a brightly lit room. Plants and rising steam are visible around him, and he appears to have apron straps over his bare, tattooed shoulders.

Reposting an old journal comic because it’s been so rewarding/cool to see me getting better and better at taking care of myself these past months
Panel 1: a character eats a piece of bread and egg while holding a cup of coffee in a kitchen and says “I’m worth it” Panel 2: same character watched clothes getting soapy and wet in a washing machine and says, “I’m worth it” Panel 3: character exhaustedly runs on a path by the woods and says, “I’m worth it” Panel 4: character sits in a bathroom painting their nails while wearing a face mask and says, “I’m worth it” Panel 5: character sits in a deep bubbly bath smiling and says, “I’m worth it” Panel 6: in their office, character shuts their laptop closed and says, “I’m worth it”

We've got 35 sets of these posters left.

This project came from my evergreen frustration with our important messages getting trapped on social media algorithms.

Good stuff for posting on your local community bulletin board, classroom, office door, etc!

4 12x18 inch posters on a brick and concrete wall. The top left is pink and says funding science saves lives, written in microbes, next to a microscope. The one on the right says Biology is bigger than binaries, with a fish, a lily, and a bee. The bottom left says Protecting wildlife starts wtih you, with a bunch of adiorable woodland creatues in yellow, white and black, including an owl, fungi, a... um. weasel? salamanders, butterflies, slugs, and a rotting log. The bottom right says Will our oceans thrive or nosedive the choice is yours, with the ocean represented in a circle, half of which is dead and half of which is alive, including kelp and a mackerel

For @elsiart.bsky.social's Everything Unicorn challenge. Take an animal that isn't typically depicted as a unicorn and put a horn on it. The rules stated that it could only have one horn. The rules should have been more specific.
