🤔

Also 200$ lmaooooooooo

🤝 Yeah I feel exactly the same, I will finish my first book someday. I will publish it myself. We’ll make it somehow.

- if I pull it through a calculator excel that deducts taxes and costs 🫠 and I’m too old for that, I’m not going to do that to myself or my loved ones

I know… the industry is set up to fail us, and it’s heartbreaking. Comics are and forever will be my favorite medium of storytelling, but between paying my bills and sleeping so little time remains for me to work on them, thus the crawl is slow. It’s that or I accept a wage that’s below minimum -

Real 😭

Thank you Niels 🥺💖

- and I feel the joy creep back into my soul.
Can’t wait to see where this will take me 💖
I suppose it makes sense to return to a physical medium in this AI slop era, it feels like a big fuck you and I’m all about that I guess 🤣

- and the owner went “how did it go?” and I gushed over how much I enjoyed a single silly little painting, that I hadn’t felt this kind if unrestricted art joy in years, and I must chase it to the sun, friends. I’m bursting with ideas all of the sudden, the urge to create is back -

Make the seven graphic novel trilogies that live in my head/across 20+ sketchbooks, take on apprentices just to teach, finally rent atelier space to get out of the corner of my house vs working to pay my bills & “buy time” to work on novels (and barely getting there, thus they remain unmade)

Thank you!! I’m really enjoying it, the 0 pressure and the chill vibes? Iconic. 10/10 would recommend.

I still have a couple of totes left, fcfs!
If you are listening in the crowd look up for our lord and savior Sauron, let him guide your way!

We have! The second volume of my smøt zine became 10 full color illustrations, idk what happened, I kinda blacked out… 👀
Beautiful handmade embroidered bags, a wonderful fundraiser, and so much more!

- (which they refused) and I’m just kind of… numb. I’ve blocked off my recovery period too, so that means no income for a bit and a large chomp out of my savings, but I can’t even feel frustration, no anger. Just numb.

Anyway vote for a party that wants to improve trans healthcare today🫠
