Fleeting.

Predictably, I really enjoyed Frankenstein 2025. Doomed yuri to me. #Frankenstein2025 #Frankenstein #GDTFrankenstein
Fanart of Frankenstein 2025 showing the Creature holding Elizabeth. One of the Creature’s hand covers the bullet wound, blood seeps into the front of Elizabeth’s wedding dress. Elizabeth cups her hands around his other, lifting it as a white butterfly hands. Two other butterflies fly around. The background depicts a rib cage, flesh, and green beetles in a similar composition to Alphonse Mucha’s artwork.

A panel of the snow covered garden, Ada walks through the overgrown hedges to where Inge crouches. They are in front of a statue with their left arm buried in the snow, steam hissing off the damaged limb. A speech bubble points to Inge saying "I hear you there..."

Ordered some new stickers, I'll put a couple up in my ko-fi shop when they arrive but lately I've been looking to get my work stocked in more shops around town so I'll be saving most for that endeavor.

A panel showing Inge reeling back in shock from the horse-like creature who screams, falling back into the ditch as the goopy red flesh melts of its skeleton.

A crop of two panels. The first on top shows a jar held by Inge’s hands pouring a thick red mixture out. The second panel on the bottom shows a horse skeleton in a ditch, smoke rising from the body where a goopy, meat like substance begins to cover the bones. Inge stands in the foreground watching.

A zine with 8 abstract watercolor comics. The story is what you decide it is, if there even is a story that you see, it might just be feelings and sensations. #comicoop #zines #abstractcomics #artistsonbsky

Ada leans forward on the couch, a concerned look on her face as she over hears the argument. There is a speech bubble from Inge who is off panel saying “I’m afraid I don’t know what you’re implying, sir.”

Transmission line on my car broke and this is basically going to eat up a whole pay check. My commissions are open and I'd love to recover the cost, my shop on ko-fi is also open as always. It'd be a big help to spread this around. #commissions #artistsonbsky #comicoop

Drew some cuddles this past weekend as a treat with Inge being a little possessive as the cherry on top. #ocsky #comicoop #artistsonbluesky

It's a big castle for only three people.

As is the nature of making a webcomic it took a long time to get to payoff but I think it was well worth it. #comicoop #webcomic #horrorcomic #horrorart #artistofbluesky

What started as a watercolor exercise ended up becoming closer to making abstract comics. I plan to make more of these and compile them in a zine whenever I feel I've made enough.
