Any LA or Bay Area locals interested in adopting a 10 y/o low maintenance kitty named Mango? She belonged to my friend's mom, who tragically suffered from a major stroke and fall and can no longer care for her. Both my friend and I have a full house of pets and can't take her, though wish we could

I need #kidlit help with something very silly I’ve been working on. Give me all the picture book character names that you can remember. For example: Madeline, Olivia, Mother Bruce. Classics and contemporary.

Out fishing in Kasilof today and some kid walks by and says:

Kid: “You know… you look like Steve.”

Me: “Steve who?”

Kid: “You know, Steve… from Minecraft”

I mean… sure? Maybe?

I think making Paella on this gorgeous day is a nice consolation prize for not being at SDCC this year, don’t you?

hi again, #PortfolioDay!

i'm kaylee & i'm a comic artist / illustrator who loves ghosts.

i'm currently working on my debut graphic novel & would love to do some quick illustration gigs this month to make rent!

🫀 kayleerowena.com

🔮 inprnt.com/gallery/kayleerowena

an illustration in shades of purple, red, pink, and black of various picture frames with ghosts in them - a woman with flowers growing out of her neck, another without a head and with floating eyeballs and nerves where a head should be, one with a red gash in the canvas, one holding a severed head on a plate.

an illustration in pinks and teals of two girls sitting on the floor playing with a ouija board. they're looking at each other in a lesbian sort of way. a ghostly hand joins theirs on the planchette. there's a large window behind them showing the moon outside

a two-page illustration spread i drew for jacob geller's book "how a game lives", showing a variety of haunted houses, brutalist architecture, doors, and veins. the different pictures are framed and hung on a wall, with wallpaper peeling to reveal mold and viscera beneath.

a comic page showing a demon woman wreathed in smoke and flame, clearly trying to intimidate the ghost she's talking to. in wavy black speech bubbles, she says "I am ancient, I am unbound, and I am unyielding. My name is Fel, human, and I am a demon." the ghost, a black woman in a 60s-style outfit, looks scared for a moment, then excited, saying "Oh my gosh, demons are real too? That's so cool! And it explains the horns! I was wondering about those, but it felt rude to ask." fel is burying her face in her hand in frustration by the last panel.

This dude and I are just popping our heads out of the studio to enjoy a bit of sun.

Lucas Elliott @lucaselliottart.bsky.social · Jul 4

Couldn't agree with this more. Their was an arc years ago where a lot of the heroes went back to the day to day street level fights and it was so refreshing.

I had to stop reading most of the big two because of world ending fatigue.

Love my school visits in Juneau. These second and third graders really knew how to draw some characters.
