The source that informed me of this said the Border Patrol officer in question claimed the victims were trying to run him over in their car, which is why he shot.

I wish I'd thought sooner to explain to tradpub editors that illustrating a graphic novel is not like writing a prose novel or illustrating a picture book, a 250-page GN is actually like illustrating eight picture books.

art block has nothing on drawing a friend’s cats for christmas !!! felt so good to finish something for the first time in months :’) #illustration

a digital illustration of two cats on a red grid background with little stars scattered around and green leafy plants in the corners; one cat is a black and white tuxedo and the other is a fluffy long hair tabby; they’re both cuddled near each other and staring up at the viewer with big round eyes.

bonkers muppet find at the vintage mall tonight, he’s HUGE 🐸 🐸 🐸

photo of a giant-sized kermit the frog pez dispenser, with a person’s hand held up for size reference; the kermit head is nearly as big as the hand. there is also a collection of muppet merchandise in the background.

photo of a normal sized kermit pez dispenser held up next to the giant one; the normal pez is about as long as the head of the giant pez.

The final push and then I’ll be gone 🫡 tonight at 11:59pm my shop will shut down until maybe March or April, so get them muppet prints while you can! Share with your muppet loving friends and family! 💖💕✨

I'm honestly surprised that with all this renewed interest in the Wizard of Oz that nobody's tried to do a thing with Ozma recently, but I guess studios just assume mainstream audiences are only familiar with things from the 1939 movie

waaa thank you so much for this kiku :') 🫂 i've taken to just kind of laughing it off when people ask if i've been making any art like haha art blocks suck right, but tonight is the first time in a while i'm letting myself really feel how upsetting it is to just not have access to this part -

i think my goal for 2026 needs to be to set aside money & finally address my mental health needs, get a diagnosis, etc. although there is also the caveat that in this current administration i'm fearful of even getting that diagnosis!! but idk what choice i have if i want to find some balance.

Amy Phelps 🌈✨ @amythyst-art.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

literally can't depend on myself to actually get things done on time bc my brain refuses to work properly, & i feel like such a failure!! i adore picture books with all my heart but i simply don't have the capacity to be making them right now and it sucks. 🤷

email from my agent several months ago & while i probably would've come to the conclusion that it's time for me to take a break anyway, the fact that they're now essentially dropping me for the time being bc i'm so inactive has been such a gut punch. this is what i want to be doing but i -

published work without absolutely destroying my mental & physical health just to get it done while also working full time to stay afloat. i've had to step away from agency work bc my last job ended in a week long anxiety attack & i had to back out; & i just found out i completely missed a check-in -

Amy Phelps 🌈✨ @amythyst-art.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

sorry to suddenly appear out of the void & ramble on mental health but what it all comes back to for me is that i've been dealing with undiagnosed, unmedicated adhd for so long now, & i can't afford to really do anything about it, but it also means that i'm kind of incapable of making picture books/

i've pretty much just spent this year enjoying muppet content, crocheting (i finished a granny square sweater last week!!), cleaning my apartment in between periods of being too tired to do anything, and working at my retail job that is steadily eating away at my soul

hii i haven't known how to really be on social media for a long time now, especially since i've been so incredibly burnt out creatively; i haven't been able to get myself to draw for several months & it's giving me so much anxiety actually lol!! 🥲 we love the endless loop of stress it's great
