I’m back with more concept sketches of BunBun the carhop! You can see her final design is a mix of my favorite features.

I’ve hit the dreaded lull in a Backerkit campaign. It’s always been hard for me to promote myself, but I will do my best! #artcrowdfunding

More about these sketches here!

Three sketch variants of BunBun, a bunny in a carhop outfit trying not to drop her burger serving tray. They have vanilla, chocolate and strawberry shake fur colors and variations of red and white or pastel outfit colors.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

Next for summer fanart gauntlet - more Ghibli! Ursula helping Kiki through depression/creative block has resonated with me since I was young, and it's the heart of the film for me.

Another throwback for the summer fanart gauntlet! I do love Nana, but Parakiss was the one manga that grabbed me from Ai Yazawa, and I love all the girls SO MUCH.

Next up for my summer fanart gauntlet, we're out of the 90s and back into modern anime. I fell in love with this show instantly. Maomao is the BEST.

Next up in our fanart series: my favorite ghibli film! I thought a lot about which one I wanted to do first, but Nausicaa just holds a special place in my heart.

Finally got this done! I agonized over including Xellos, but it just felt weird without him. Slayers, my nostalgic 90's fantasy fav. #fanart #art #illustration #slayers #slayersanime #linainverse #gourrygabriev #ameliawilteslasaillune #zelgadis #xellos #animefanart #anime #90sthrowback

Sometimes you just need to listen to that song that takes you away from everything. #heathermahlerart #comic

Four panel comic. Drawn in various tones of green with little ghosts around illustration of me wearing all black black eye glasses my hair is down and also green. Panel 1 walking down the sidewalk looking at my phone thinking to myself I feel overwhelmed. Panel 2 close up of me looking at my phone turning on a song you can see on the phone. It is Enya ,Caribbean blue. The text reads maybe I just need… Panel 3 straight on of my face, listening to the music eyes closed, taking a sigh of breath. Panel 4 illustration of me, daydreaming floating away in the city. The text finishes the sentence … a moment.
