Ash in the Wind is now a member of SpiderForest collective!

That means from now on, you can read new pages every Thursday on its own website! It will always be at least one week ahead of mirrors (except for patreon 😉)

Check it out!

One out of 12 rams is uninterested in females. Deemed “non-procreative" by farmers, they're typically sent to slaughter. German farmer Michael Stücke rescues the gay rams. His company Rainbow Wool, sells fabulous wool products from his flock of gay sheep. rainbow-wool.com

your art style is a reflection of how your brain interprets the world around you! respect the unique way it works and play to its natural strengths while being aware of your weaknesses. discovering a way of art-making that feels comfortable to you goes a long way in avoiding burnout

Hi folks, I'm seeing a lot of "Eyes on Minneapolis" & "We support Minnesota" sentiment. Here's a tangible way you can help:

Trump just suspended federal funding for SNAP benefits to Minnesota. Second Harvest Heartland is an MN-based hunger-relief org.

Please donate what you can.

There is more than enough food for everyone. As one of the nation’s largest hunger relief agencies, it’s our job to make sure healthy, nutritious food gets to the households who need it. Every day, we...

omg patreon's system of only allowing refunds from your balance but not letting you add money to it is so backwards 😭😭 i saw an accidental charge but the balance was already sent to my bank account so i had to create a new account and a custom tier so i could pledge the amount back LMAO

Don't forget folks: allowing yourself a vision of the future you'd want for our country and planet - not the one you'd settle for, not the one you fear, but the future of your dreams - isn't naive, it's a vital cognitive skill. That's how we articulate what we most value. What's worth fighting for.

Instead of whatever this is, we should have a government getting lots of new homes and apartments built, lots of clean energy built, lots of high speed rail and transit and bike lanes built, human rights for everyone, economic & healthcare opportunities for all, & innovation that leads the world.

Dear friend,

Mr. Trump's coronation last week was a disgrace. As I bowed in protest, I thought to myself "What has become of our nation"

Now it's all up to us. Can you spare $5, $10, or even $20 so I can attend the royal feast to continue the fight?

I'm seeing a lot of posts to call your reps but little on actually how. 5calls.org is a great site where you can put in your zip code and get numbers for your house representative and two senators. You also can get a script if you're like me and stumble over your thoughts.

Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

Another year, another #ArtvsArtist !

I took a some risograph and screenprinting workshops throughout the year which was a great medium for exploring more personal art with mature themes.

2026 is going to be a exciting year with huge changes for me. Thanks for following along!

#ArtvsArtist2025

I'm way too easily entertained bc I've been giggling at this forced perspective photo that makes it look like my cat is wearing my glasses
A photo of my cat's head in the foreground facing away from camera and my glasses resting on the coffee table immediately behind her. The angle makes it look like she's wearing a tiny pair of glasses.

Decided to highlight a few of my favorite books and zines here! A few are either out of print or have yet to properly debut 👀

ko-fi.com/cryoflower/l...
Banana in Beijing - An autobiographical comic about growing up as a Chinese American, facing internalized racism, and the common dilemma of feeling simultaneously too Chinese and too American at the same time. ko-fi.com/cryoflower/shop, use code "TYBF25" Offbrand. Part memoir, part art book, OFFBRAND is a collection of traditional sketches and accompanying commentary. Its aim is to document my emotional and artistic journey that span nearly a decade, from late high school to post-college burnout. Destroyed and Reborn. Using a sword forged of her own tears, a battered heroine must decide how to end her own suffering. This comic is an abstracted depiction of my experience living with Moral Scrupulosity OCD. Weeds of Glendale Ave. A 16-page risograph zine about city weeds that helped me rekindle my childhood passion for wildlife and nature.
