I’m grateful to those who were patient and kind during my harder times, whether they were aware or not. Having a loving partner and incredible support system made all the difference.

This year sucked. It’s been pure survival mode, with a lot of rebuilding - a new career, health, and community, and more - and I can only hope it’ll yield a better year.

Here’s to hoping 🤞

If the writer’s eyes light up when asked, “why did the character do that?” then it’s real.

Did you like my graphic novel THE GHOSTKEEPER?

Tis the season to leave a review! Reviews help authors a ton and you get to share things you like about a book, it’s a win-win! 👻

The "Frieren angle" thing, apart from just being delightful, also completely demolishes the pathetic "AI is democratising art" argument. Someone struggling with a difficult drawing received advice from hundreds of strangers who just wanted to help them improve their art.

Be extra kind to yourselves.
A lot of artists, including myself, are struggling.
It's not because we are failing; the system is failing us. A system that doesn't care about us. So we rely on those around us for support and kindness.
Keep your head up. We are doing our best ♡

In honor of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand

I'll go first: Six page commercial lease.

It’s a custom design from the artist themselves, which is still under production.

To All Artists:

Repost that art. Milk that piece more, it took a lot to draw. Post close up shots, color edits, speedpaintings, the background lore. Be annoying about it.

It took too much effort!

Don’t support big company. Big company don’t like you. Support small artist. Or just save your money.

same for artists. no artist is burnt out because their workload would be less with AI or their project managing software could be assisted by AI.

we’re burnt out because our work is not respected enough. what we do is seen as disposable and replaceable, rather than valuable.
No, authors aren't burnt out because "writing without AI is slow"

We're burnt out because we're paid dirt so we need day jobs to survive
