Sunday! I will be at NY Comic Con doing a fun, family-friendly drawing session and signing books after. It’ll be my first time doing anything in an official capacity at NYCC! 😄

Formosan black bears are indigenous to the island of Taiwan and they really do have the white V marking on their chests!

These are special pineapple and oolong mooncakes! Traditionally they’re filled with red bean paste and egg yolk 🥮

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! 🏮🎊

Did you know that the official mascot of Taiwan is this cute Formosan black bear? He shows up on official government messaging. I didn’t realize that he had a heart on his butt until now though 😆🧡

A soft colored illustration of a tiny Clover and Melos painting! Clover is dressed up in a blue beret and artist apron while she holds a giant paint brush that’s dipping into a rainbow assortment of watercolors. Melos the cat sits next to her and a large easel with Clover’s in-progress painting, a collection of flowers. “Keep creating” is written near the top of the poster.

i love making comics for kids but genuinely hate how the tagline "great for reluctant readers" gets applied as though it's some consolation prize for kids who feel dumb & not an actual art form to be appreciated in & of itself

Only a week left before the start of @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social ! Getting so excited to see everyone's work and all the reader's reactions! Here's the 3rd preview from 'Despite, despite, despite'. 💝
