My go-to soothing audiobook is Howl’s Moving Castle. Whimsical fantasy always transports me into a safe space.

First self portrait with my new haircut! Also this is my current favorite outfit! I’m trying to bring subtle fantasy aesthetic into my everyday wardrobe. Life is too short to not dress like a hobbit on a quest every day!

15 yrs ago, I taught a kids’ comics class, and one of my assignments was to adapt a book into a silent comic. I did an example using a popular book. The class loved it, so I said I’d do the whole series if they worked hard. I’m disappointed by the franchise now, but I’m still fond of this comic.

At first I thought this was a Marceline x Marcille ship fanart, and honestly it kinda works.

Marcille likes monster girls
And Marceline likes nerdy brats

I’ve washed them before if they get nasty, but usually I use mechanical pencils and a lot of pens, so it stays pretty clean.

I love all the cats! What method do you use for transferring your digital sketch to paper? I usually try to use my iPad as a light-box and sketch through the paper, but it’s difficult with thick watercolor paper.

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument.
