Drew this yesterday, not knowing what to do with the immediate sadness over Alice Wong passing. Going to reread Year of the Tiger - I highlighted lots of that book!

(Sorry, don't know the name of the photographer whose image I used as ref)

Christmas design on Redbubble. It's available as cards, postcards, magnets, stickers, notebooks, wall art and an apron. The cards are priced more for one-off greetings cards than for Christmas, but they do have a sale at the moment and they're cheaper the more you buy.

Pleased with how my cushion cover design came out from Redbubble. It's a bit brighter than the original image. You can buy the innards as well, but it was vacuum sealed and I didn't want to open before posting.

Maybe better for homeschoolers rather than back-to-schoolers, but the stickers would look good adorning any self-respecting lunch box. New design in my Redbubble shop.

I'm looking forward to Flashes, if they are still developing a media focused arm of this platform. IG is no longer working for me as an artist because of algorithms and not being able to engage properly due to my disabilities.

In a big FU, the gvnmt have chosen first day of #DisabilityPrideMonth, to vote on whether to slash disability benefits. They are creating a 2-tier system by drawing an arbitrary line in the sand.
Nothing about us without ALL of us. We can't pull the ramp up behind us just because some would be okay.

I drew a little comic about how I dealt with being bedridden while my dad was dying.
If I didn't have severe ME, it would likely turn into a much longer comic.
