Check out my little Bug 🐛
He's one of the main character from my comic " Despite, despite, despite" currently available via the @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social !
He was pretty hard to figure out, went through many silly sketches.

William Sorely never considered how it all might end. After accidentally swallowing a mysterious capsule while typing his final assignment, Will finds himself on a time-traveling adventure riddled with aliens and robots (and minor bouts of flatulence)!

New comic from @sloint.bsky.social!

the worst aspect of being an artist is truly having to sell yourself, im proud of what i do, i work hard and i create quality work, still so much depends on if people care and get invested in it.
its incredibly rewarding to touch people, and so stressful to be at their mercy

(you can find "Despite, despite, despite" 👇)

It's today! "Despite, despite, despite" is out! The shortbox comic fair is live (October 1st to 31st)

"Despite, despite, despite" is a 44 pages digital comic.
A couple of little of little digs in a big city are going through a rough patch. Bug recently lost his job and Milo works to support them both Despite it all, they keep going.

I'm so thrilled to hear that! About the graffiti it is pretty much an exact copy of the one on my local corner store, everytime i walk by it it makes my heart swell, the world feels more caring, so i wanted to include it, to hopefully make others feel the same 💞

Is there anything more pathetic than a fellow drowning his sorrows in a bar, post breakup? What's worse is knowing it! Or maybe what's worse is the bartender being not quite what he seems...
Don't miss @chechula.bsky.social's 's wonderful comic 'Mission Report on So-Called Humankind'!
