Hiya! I'm Lark, and I make art and comics, most notably my webcomic Aww, Feathers! which is a Utah Valley college drama with a diverse cast of furry, scaly, and feathery characters! It's written to be enjoyed by all audiences and has over 250 pages and counting!
Check it out at awwfeathers.com!

I used to think it was great to have every function I needed compressed into a single device.

Now when I go to do something on my phone I immediately forget what it was.

It's the digital equivalent of walking into a room and forgetting why I'm there.

We invented the perpetual distraction machine.

Apropos of nothing, my brain immediately went,
"DON'T STOP! INHALING!!" 🎤🎵

Sorry...? 😂

My two favorite lines:

"Someone once told me that art is like emotional nutrition... And if that's the case, consuming A.I. art is like eating styrofoam."

"I need you to know, from one artist to another, that every mark you make on a page, even a squiggly imperfect one, is still beautiful."

My friend Matt Inman made a great comic about AI…

This is a comic about AI art.

My badge design for Spooktacufur, which I'll be attending later this year! What I thought would be a relatively simple design turned out more detailed and interesting than I thought! I really love how it turned out! 😈

Yess! I recall the prompt for this one was to do it in the style of Undertale, and I quite enjoyed making it! 🏌️

A few years ago my friend @jlarkstories.com did #OcTOONber so I commissioned a pic of my sona as a skeleton golfer!

A quick sketch I did of Eli in a gown. Doesn't he look purty! 😊💐

Happy Fursuit Friday! It's spooky season, so how about I share some of my favorite costumes as Ine?
Back in 2019 I dressed as Where's Waldo for AWU's mystery themed con! I'm sorry if you couldn't find me... 🌚

My daughter has been making these "scribble monsters" and recently asked if I could help her turn them into homemade collectible trading cards.
This is either the beginning of a beautiful father-daughter bonding moment, or the premise of a dark anime. 👻🫡

a page full of monsters of various shapes made of scribbled black ballpoint pen, including some that resemble spiders, ghosts, and cyclops, each with a normal sounding name like Blake, Bill, Adam, Charles, etc.

Yeah, I'll take it on a few other savory dishes, but I don't think it's ever going to work on something sweet. 😅

J. Lark, comic bird @jlarkstories.com · 7d

Fair enough! In my case, it did not work at all. 😅
But hey, far be it from me to yuck anybody's yums! 😂

Sometimes the world looks like crap.
Then you spend an evening just watching cartoons with your kids, and things feel just a little bit better. ❤️‍🩹

Somebody told me that mustard is good on watermelon. Now, I'll try just about anything once, so I can now say from experience that...

They lied. 🤢🍉
