"That's the point – the smudge, the rough line, the hesitation - that's what makes my work come alive." - Jim Lee talking about why DC will never use AI storytelling. "AI doesn't dream, feel or make art, it aggregates it."

Happy International Lesbian Day! I’m an aspec lesbian! Here’s some of my lesbian art!

Ful mirror selfie of me dress in all black—a pirate shirt, leggings, thigh high lace up boots and a silver moon and stars belt

Illustration of a Harpy and Mermaid, in love. The mermaid lays on her back in a tide pool as the harpy flies closely above her. Their faces and bodies almost touching, but not quite yet. the bottom half of the illustration where the mermaid is, is all in blue/reens, while the upper half where the harpy is, is all in warm pink/purple/yellows. Their eyes match the others pallet

A collection of my favourite Nico Minorus from Strange Tales (2025) #1.

Her having messy hat hair for almost the entire comic was an inspired choice lol.
