Thank you so much! I was going for a style I could do quickly and loosely, and I like the textures it created!

Comics in the Spooky Age 🧛🧟‍♀️👻 @comicsinthega.bsky.social · 3d

Gasoline Alley by Frank King from October 20, 1929. Featuring one of Skeezix and Walt’s annual Autumn walks. Gasoline Alley at its best.

Over twelve panels, they walk through the woods and open fields while Walt waxes philosophically about the myriad of colors they see in the leaves and grass, and the grandness of the outdoors.

I’m so excited to share the results of our first ever Spin Rack Comics Jam! The theme we chose was “ghosts,” and everyone went different directions with it, so I’m looking forward to getting to read them all myself!

We have 11 short comics perfect for the spooky season here
itch.io/b/3344/spin-...

A collection of 11 comic covers on a spooky cobwebbed background with the text “Spin Rack Comics Bundle” and “Available now on itch.io” with a QR code in the middle right area.

A watercolor cover image shows boots walking down a pebbly road with a gnarled walking stick, a skirt and coat flowing above. All is in blue-grey tones except for bright cobalt floating will-o-the-wisps.

Title text: When I Was Walking Home Last Night”
Author text: by Lucy Kagan

A watercolor back cover image: A young woman in a big coat holding a walking stick squats on the ground putting herbs into her rucksack while looking up to see the stars begin to emerge. She’s deep in shadowy bushes in the woods.

Text: Heading home through the forest, a local mage discovers that there is more going on in it than she had ever noticed before. A mysterious spirit guides her through places she’s never seen before, but for what purpose?

Hi, #PortfolioDay! I’m an illustrator and print&pattern designer who works primarily in watercolor, and I’d love to get into ttrpg, card game, or board game work!

I love fantasy and kid lit that's full of heart, and my book work is represented by literary agent Adria Goetz.

[email protected]

A watercolor illustration: Four young bear cubs frolic through a meadow full of tall grass, dotted with big white flowers. You can see the path that each has carved to get to where they are, one just arriving towards the others at the center, one throwing up their hands in delight, one taking a long peaceful smell of a flower, and one up to their neck in the grass, seemingly just basking.

A watercolor illustration: A frog gazes out the window at a winter landscape, their hand touching the cold pane. They are wrapped in a thick comforter, plaid red and orange with a white border, and a steaming hot mug sits on the simple side table next to them, along with an arrangement of dry branches.

A watercolor illustration: A young girl in an acorn-shaped hat, knit sweater, and basket back-pack looks gleefully at a huge assortment of mushrooms she’s just found, which make up the whole bottom, right, and left borders of the image. Her fox companion looks on curiously, a red ribbon around its neck. The mushrooms are all edible types: turkey tail, nameko, wine cap, enoki, and oyster mushrooms. In the background, fir trees appear yellowish against a yellow early sunset sky.

A watercolor illustration: Against a big blue sky full of fluffy clouds, a sheep waves to a passing dragon, who smiles back, flying in the distance. The sheep wears a thick knit teal sweater, with brown trousers tucked into yellow boots, holding a rake. They stand in front of rows of sprouting vegetables, uphill of some distant houses and trees, and the blue sea is visible even further.

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

River Snake's Bride 🐉🌺

A watercolor and ink drawing of a pale green serpent growing leaves and flowers off its body. It encircles two figures, the first is wearing long feminine robes and jewelry while the second is wearing tradition pre-colonial Filipino garb and holds a sword. Each of them is accented by a white bird and a moon and sun symbol, respectively.

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.
