hi #PortfolioDay! i'm kaylee & i'm a comic artist / illustrator / zinemaker who loves telling brightly-colored ghost stories. i'm currently working on my first full-length graphic novel!

an illustration in shades of purple, red, pink, and black of various picture frames with ghosts in them - a woman with flowers growing out of her neck, another without a head and with floating eyeballs and nerves where a head should be, one with a red gash in the canvas, one holding a severed head on a plate.

a haunted lighthouse drawn mostly in purple, with bright red veins spiraling up the side of it and overgrown plants sprouting on either side.

a comic page showing a demon woman wreathed in smoke and flame, clearly trying to intimidate the ghost she's talking to. in wavy black speech bubbles, she says "I am ancient, I am unbound, and I am unyielding. My name is Fel, human, and I am a demon." the ghost, a black woman in a 60s-style outfit, looks scared for a moment, then excited, saying "Oh my gosh, demons are real too? That's so cool! And it explains the horns! I was wondering about those, but it felt rude to ask." fel is burying her face in her hand in frustration by the last panel.

an illustration in pinks and teals of two girls sitting on the floor playing with a ouija board. they're looking at each other in a lesbian sort of way. a ghostly hand joins theirs on the planchette. there's a large window behind them showing the moon outside

Independent comics as an industry would barely exist these days without the tireless efforts of Kickstarter's staff behind the scenes. As they advise, keep supporting all the amazing projects you already are, but have their back in the process.

Kickstarter United @kickstarterunited.org · 7d

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

Quinn Majeski 👁️ Absurdia crowdfunding now! @quinnmajeski.bsky.social · 1d

10 days left in the Absurdia campaign! I’m feeling fired up for the home stretch so it’s time for a new goal.

And this time, it’s ~personal~

If we reach 400 backers I will release the joke playbook I made about playing me, Quinn Majeski, trapped inside my own game.

Meta! Self indulgent! Absurd!

An excerpt of the “Quinn Majeski” Absurdia joke playbook. Text reads:

The Quinn Majeski
A narrative designer and fourth wall anomaly
“Wait, what do you mean I’m a playbook?”

Essence: Bandwidth
Refresh: Finish a major project without a new one lined up

Here are all the little haunted house workers on break.

This is the digital file because I did not like how things printed out at all. I'm gonna have to fight with the Riso machine some more.
