Some art days I sit down and feel unstoppable and others I drew 20 hands and felt such disgust and wanted to scream

I've been avoiding this for decades, of course it's gonna test me 🤣

Happy year of the horse! #darkfantasy #vampire #illustration
A vampire rider astride a vampiric horse. The atmosphere is dark and rainy, the perfect time for a hunt.

In a lot of ways, I'm really lucky. I work from home. I write and draw books. I still experience a lot of the same normal creative issues. I'm burned out. My current project frustrates me. But a few things in my routine have changed. Me: Hey, mom. Are the cousins okay? How's grandma? And your sisters? Me: Oh, good. Yeah. Okay, that's good. I'll call you later. Watching Bob's Burgers on repeat while I work. My friends check in from time to time. Text: I got rubber-bulleted by ICE just on my way back from work. Ouch. Text: Hey I'm gonna observe tomorrow at the protest. I'll text every hour, and if you don't hear from me, please call [number] and give them my identifying information. I'd probably be at the Whipple. Okay? Text: They knocked on my door, but I'm okay. I demanded a signed judicial warrant, and they couldn’t provide one, so they left. I’m worried all the time. Very little in the news feels encouraging. Headline: Mayor Kaohly Her says she was told to carry a passport amid ICE operations in Minnesota St. Paul Mayor elect Kaobly Her says her office received reports of federal agents going door-to-door asking where the Asian people are. KARE11 January 16, 2026 And it makes me feel utterly untethered from reality when I have to live like this and just get back to work and draw my stupid little cartoons. Nothing else feels real or important right now. But my neighbors are doing such a great job staying engaged and finding needs to meet. Text: I'm running to Costco and picking up some canned goods to run to the food shelf. Let me know if you want to donate anything. Text: I'll throw in for some canned goods! Text: Me too! Text from me: What's your Venmo? I can contribute.

harbinger of the end ☀
An illustration with a cryptic decorated border. Off to the left side, three circular panels depict a mollusk-like brain, a pattern of spotted lumps, and two swans with interlocked necks. In the center, a muscular-chested man with furry ears is holding a massive sword off to his side. He has shaggy red hair and a black doglike nose.

Abolish ICE. A little journal comic from South Minneapolis.

#iceoutmpls #iceoutcomics #iceoutofmpls
Just before Christmas, I got a puppy. Her name is Minerva, and we call her *Minnie. I'm still learning how to understand her. Me: Do you need to go outside? Do you need to go outside, little baby? Do you need to do a poo? Do you need to do a widdle piddle? Minnie: Arf! *I just call her "little baby" most of the time. I'm also realizing I can't turn off the baby talk now. Nobody tells you about that. I got so lucky with my first puppy. Her wonderful foster parents had her completely house-trained by the time we adopted her, so taking her outside for potty time has been pretty easy. I've got the puppy poopy routine pretty much down, now. Me, putting on my coat: Let's see... I got the little poopy bags, puppy treats for bribes, jacket, scarf, phone… I think that's everything… Oh yes! And my passport. I had been carrying around my passport for a while, but I knew it didn't matter. This is wrong. Nobody is required to carry around their papers. I became a US citizen when I was seven. Since I was born in a refugee camp, I was stateless. The US is the only nation where I've ever held citizenship. It's the only passport I've ever had, and it still felt important. Protective. I would hold it in my pocket like a talisman, like it might ward off ghosts or something. But I realized I was holding onto it basically out of superstition. ICE will pick up anybody. I know that. So I tucked my passport away. And I largely avoid leaving my house. I live a few blocks just South of George Floyd Square. I was in the neighborhood for that, too. And all the neighbors came together to protect each other. We're already organized. We'll do our best to get through this. Me, to my dog: I hope I can take you for a walk someday soon. Won't that be nice, little baby?

Dandelion
A drawing of my OC Eunicio, originally created in collaboration with my friend Hugo Damas. He is standing around a few dead trees with some sparse foliage growing up from their bases. we see him from his upper thigh on up, one hand held is holding a dandelion as be blows it's seeds and makes a silent wish to him self - the sun at his back.

If you’re like me and getting rid of books to make room for new ones, I highly recommend checking out your library’s website for their donation guidelines to see what they’re collecting!

For people that feel helpless, this period is so tough but there's ways to help for anyone. Go out there support Venezuelan ppl and artists living in it as they prepare for unpredictable times

Here is a starter pack of artists with commissions or donations open as well:

When I was a teen, all my OC's were so surface level, they barely had a backstory haha "a cool assassin"

So jealous of creators who become obsessed with their own ocs and make fanart and endless lore for them, I need some of that energy in the coming months

I didn’t draw as much as I was hoping this year but I’m proud of what I did draw! I’m working on a few projects that I hope come to fruition. Hoping next year is full of more drawing for fun and leaving any reservation behind!
Panel 1 Music playing overhead: I’m looking for a man in finance, trust fund, 6’5”, blue eyes Girl with red hair: ugh I hate this song Panel 2 Character with short hair looks shocked as they exclaim in their head, “SETO KAIBA???” The rich boy himself appears behind them Panel 1 Character sitting on a bed, playing their switch Character 1: ah, time to relax and play one of my childhood favorites. Let’s relax and forget our troubles a little bit~ Panel 2 Cloud Strife from final fantasy 7 stands facing away from the camera Cloud: corporations are destroying the planet, valuing profit over lives and morals. Every day is a struggle to hope and fight back. Panel 3 Character 1 sheds a tear with a blank smile on their face Character 1: oh dear Balor, Hayden, Ryis and March from Fields of Mistria Panel 1 Character is standing in shallow water below branches and leaves Caption: maybe joy isn’t some grand destination I have to arrive at or somehow earn. Panel 2 Character holds a beautiful agate up to the sky with a proud smile Caption: maybe joy is in opportunities all around me. Waiting to be found.

Panel 1: A collage of a sketchbook, an ink bottle, ruler, eraser, pencil, nib pen and iPad with an pencil Caption: You have what it takes Panel 2: Character holds a spark to their chest, bursting with pink purple and light blue smaller sparkles Caption: your fear of failure can not stop you

Developing a character for a future game: Odelion the Duelist.
It's MY turn to make a terrible twink!
A sketchy headshot of a man with elegant wavy blond hair and delicate features. A full body drawing of character Odelion. It's black and what with accents of red.
