If you were a fan of the Faith comics I wrote, you should definitely check out Mary Sue! Love letter to fandom sums it up perfectly.

💗 Happy Mary Sue Day 🧛🏻‍♀️

This is a love letter to fandom, to those who stay up late reading fic, who still argue for your favorite ship, who found themselves in stories.

Colors: @dearbhlala.bsky.social + @angienessyo.bsky.social
Letters: @longtalljodie.com

The Mary Sue issue 1 covers next to a large, well deserved beer.

It’s finally here!
You can now buy the trade paperback of ARCHAIC, about a badass single mom who’s put in charge of a sentient island and its mythological Inhabitants. Come for the Mesopotamian goddess of the dead, stay for the 9-yr-old who saves the day w/birdwatching skills.

Writer Art Day #6 - Barbie

Not my favorite (paper was too textured for soft colored pencils), but considering I was sick most of the day, just happy I got it done.

It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland. Farmer’s markets, the Portland Marathon, peaceful protests, and some views of Mt. Hood. This city is vibrant, peaceful, and resilient. We do not need a federal occupation, and we sure as hell don’t want one.

Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.

When Trump was asked about Ghislaine Maxwell today, he said, “I haven’t heard the name in so long…”. This is an obvious & absurd lie. What makes it pathological is that it is unnecessary. Trump lies even when it gives him no benefit. Our nation is in peril because this man is incapable of truth.

Writer Art Day #5 - Darkwing Duck!

This was a request from @tadstones.bsky.social. I wish I'd scanned it before I colored it, because this brush pen was NOT alcohol marker-safe like I thought 🫠 But I avoided too much smearing.

Might also be a drawing of Eagly, IDK

That's actually perfect, as I haven't drawn him before and that's my theme. Added to the list!

Writer Art Day #3 - The Joker

I wanted to do a simple line drawing, but didn't like the lines I added to the face. So I tried a second time, made a mistake, and covered it in lines to hide the mistake 😅
