Arielle calls him Steve, I call him Cap, I used to draw self-insert fanart as his sidekick, Arielle used to— I’ll stop there 😳🤭

The print is topped off with a helpful and silly comic of tips from Steve for fellow artists to keep their bodies in tip-top condition! (with a cameo from Bucky 🤭)

My good friend @joviellety.bsky.social and I combined our deep love for Steve Rogers, Mr. Captain America himself, to co-create this gorgeous three-color riso print in Blue, Sunflower, and Bright Red 💙🧡❤️

I think that's perfect for writing notes or jotting down ideas! having your favorite graphic novel beside you never hurts, either 😄

cynthia @ NYCC C-33 @cynthiaycheng.bsky.social · 7d

that's so cool, looking forward to having you both there!! 😊

i love indie comics, i love writing comedy, i love lucky pocket!! excited for y'all to read my newest travel comedy comic that'll be in @luckypocketpress.bsky.social's Knapsack Magazine volume 2 🌟💞

A comic panel in monochromatic reddish-orange depicts a self-portrait of Cynthia yelling "대한민국 만세 Daehan Minguk Manse (Long Live Korea!)" while raising their arms. The people around Cynthia all react in shock.

A crop of a comic page in monochromatic reddish-orange depicts a self-portrait of Cynthia dreamily looking at various Korean dishes. The dish shown most prominently is labelled as yukhoe (raw beef).
