Hi!! I'm Avery, a freelance illustrator, graphic designer, and part-time college instructor. I love making art of things that I love and collaborating with like-minded folks on all kinds of projects!

A digital drawing of me, sitting with my arm over my knee. There is text on the image that says “Meet the artist/designer/educator/etc!” “Oct 31” “Queer” “She/they” and my name, Avery Helm. 6 digital illustrations, featuring the main companion cast of Baldur's Gate III. A photo of me holding up a pack of 4 beer cans in the sun. The cans have an illustration of Carmilla the vampire on them, with her name running across her face (the name of the beer was also Carmilla). A photo of me holding up Kayak Magazine Issue #90, which I illustrated the cover for. It features a pair of kids tobogganing through powdery snow, with two more kids snowshoeing in the background up the hill to their dad, who is waving them over.

An illustration of a young women yanking a weed out of a bed of marigolds. The primary colours of the piece are deep green and a saffron yellow, with some brown and moss green tones as well. The camera is looking up at the young girl with a forced perspective, as she pulls out the weed while leaning back. The text reads: PULL FASCISM UP BY THE ROOT.

exactly, AI chatbots could NEVER
aplante.com Alex Plante 🐀👑 @aplante.com · 7d
plus chatgpt would never say “i was about to say something even too stupid for me but i stopped myself” and then when pressed say “ok fine if you blow into your belly button does it feed the baby? but then i was like the mothers belly button isnt the umbilical cord. its not a tunnel to the outside”

why would i ever use chatgpt when i can open any of my group chats, ask them any question i may have, receive the same ratio of right:wrong answers, and ALSO foster a connection with a fellow human being

A small black and white comic. The comic shows me in four stages. At the beginning I am lurched over in my office chair, prepared to work hard. A speech bubble says: 'Okay. Time to lock in and-.' My cat's head is peeking up from around my lap. In the second part, my cat has started to crawl into my space. I look down at her, but am still distractedly saying: 'Time to lock-' In the third part my cat is starting to make herself comfortable on my chest, where she likes to be. I am succumbing, looking off in the distance saying: 'To-' By the fourth section, I have fully surrendered. She is sleeping on chest. It's all over.

I drew this a while ago and the feeling only gets stronger
A bunny looking calm and happy in the foreground, but a larger image of the same bunny in the background expresses their internal dread with a harrowed, panicked expression and a dark miasma surrounding them.
