My name is Cy (they/them), and I'm a queer + trans comic artist, zine maker and general crafter. Looking forward to being in this art space!

(3 years of my fursona profile pics - the first one has a real vibe to it that I kind of miss ngl)

I'm alive! And working on comics!

To all who are waiting for the next volume of Garfbuckle & Jonfield, it's looking like I need another year to complete it!

My current project will be done for Prairie Comics Festival 2025, and it has lesbian nuns, and doomed yuri with vampirism.

Stoked for it!

Hearing a lot about inadequate prepress and print design classes, so here's a link to the comic by me and @daisyfm.net about best practices for comics printing. It's from 2017 so a little outdated, but the basics and theory hold up, and the whole comic is $8!

Got my artist glove from @bibicosplays.bsky.social the other day! It's super cute and fits well and not too snug on the wrist. Well worth it IMO, so check out their artist glove patterns if you're in search of one. They also sell plain black ones if patterns arent your thing!

There is a free-use mirror of the KidPix, that runs in your browser!

This delight was originally created in 1989 for Mac by Craig Hickman and has seen many versions over the years.

As mentioned by Rebecca (@beccabeean.bsky.social) you absolutely need to turn your sound up.

TIDAL WETLANDS, Acrylic, 16x16” ©️2025 Jim Musil #art #painting

This is a fun simple composition with the winding river providing the visual path to a richly colored sky. The contrast between those rich saturated colors of the sky and the deep dark greens of the marsh create a lot of drama and impact.

Bringing this around again - it's my debut comic! It's currently sold out, but I will be printing more for @prairiecomicsfest.bsky.social 2025. I've got a part 2/final part in the works for it that I'm hoping to also have ready by then!

My debut comic book is a Garfield parody where Garf became anthro'd and Jon got catified. Each copy comes with a lil sticker.

I'll start posting some more pages soon but here's a sample!

Nice!! It's so delicious. When I make mine I use a combination of some dill pickle juice and citric acid powder (sparingly on that though, a little goes a long way)!

I had a disaster happen when I tried only vinegar for souring it years ago LOL. It was beet vinegar basically and mostly inedible 😅

cy (they/them) @cycyanart.bsky.social · Apr 2

Oooh what's your favorite kind! I prefer when it's mostly sour, then sweet, then with a bit of earthyness. Sweeter is nice sometimes, though!

Hello new folks! Thanks for the follows. I've no art to post unfortunately, but I do have a nice bowl of soup to share.

(I have a cold coming in strong so I used my remaining energy to make a big pot of borscht. I always make it vegan minus the sour cream).

Have a good day/night 🍲

A big bowl of red beet borscht sits on a grey counter top, upon a square green quilted pot holder. On top of the borscht sits a large dollop of sour cream with dill on top. Behind this bowl, there is a small plate with garlic toast on it.

be less afraid to create clumsy comics. awkward tangents. amateur lettering. weird sequentials and pacing. You Can Just Make it. you dont need to be trapped in a cycle of perfectionism and imposter syndrome when you could have a finished work instead. print that thing out and staple it!!!
