iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I’ve been trying to figure out how to express this for years (internally to myself and externally), and ofc “sleep-deprived-lesbian” on Tumblr comes in and nails it. Transness existing is such a relief and a blessing for us all.

I argue that the environmental impact of these tools is what tips the scales. There’s an invisible cost to compromising on AI use, and I would argue your need must be very great to outweigh the damage this industry does.

Kind of a shame bc alt text so often gets budgeted out of the design process. If the choice is between AI content or nothing, which is better? Is that my choice as the designer to make?

A client told me today that a PDF I sent them triggered a pop-up indicating it had “AI-generated content.” At first I was like !!!??? but I remembered Adobe just pushed out an auto-on AI alt text generator. I have turned this off. PSA for other AI h8rs out there with a reputation to protect.

This is an evil, evil, evil thing.

It’s a problem! I found a comfy position with my Cintiq touch propped on a desktop drafting board at a super high angle. I don’t love the Pshop brushes but I’ve gotten used to a couple. I never found an inking pen that really suited me tbh! Or a good white-out solution. How do u make correx?

I’m like you turned inside out because I gotta do my comps on paper to make any decisions, and I love digital inking.

New work for Betty's Books' 4th annual Community Zine, celebrating Free Comic Book Day 2025! The theme was “Shifting Gears,” which I took both literally and figuratively in describing my switch to bike commuting in 2019. You should read everyone's comics here: sites.google.com/bettysbookss...

Single-page comic about learning to bike commute. I start out with a shitty bike in a basement, check the map, and find a 2.5 mi route to the Metrolink. But the cars are scary and there's a bunch of steps down to the platform. A friend suggest I try the next stop up 3.5 mi away. This time I ride through calm neighborhood streets and walk right up to the platform. But I'm terrible at mornings and keep missing my train! I check the map again an it's only 5.5 mi to bike the whole way, and I decide to go for it. I get to ride through Tower Grove Park, over I-64, and through Forest Park, and I don't have to pay for parking or get stuck in traffic. The final panel is me holding a turtle I saved.

St. Louisan here. This is a story about Sarah Russell, (former) head of CEMA in STL. I have not read any local news coverage that indicates what Russell’s pronouns are, so I suspect Fox is making a wild guess here based on a buzz cut. Russell did actually fuck up pretty hard and ppl died.

It's so deeply cruel to not only position that people on the spectrum aren't able to contribute to society but that they must do so to matter. They, like all people, deserve happiness without reservation.

I know they want 3/4” along the bottom edge clear so they can stamp that pink barcode on it. Otherwise I think you’re good.

And we are done, goodnight Hourly Comic Day! It's been fun. 11:30 p.m. #hourlycomicday

I whine to Dan that's it's 11:30 which is soooo laaaate and I want to go home. Which we do, and by midnight I'm asleep with my dog, cat, and husband.

✨The Tubes Party!✨ I did live sketches of all the tubes. 8-11:30 p.m. #hourlycomicday

Sketchbook page of everything I saw at the Tubes Party: the Best Tube trophy, mini Chicago-style pigs in blankets, Twizzlers, a mini Wacky Waving Inflatable Tube Man, and Mark - wearing bicycle inner tubes across his chest like bondage gear and a handlebar on his head.

More tubes: a tiki drink with a straw, spring rolls, a tube-ception of tubular pasta wrapped up in a garlic bread roll, several tube-themed music videos (tubas, Blue Man Group, an organ cover), and our hostess Jess, in every tube-shaped garment she owns.

I'm a little too chaotic in the kitchen to make really perfect pastry, but we've made progress because I'm no longer afraid of it. 6 p.m. #hourlycomicday

Two panels of me rolling out some pastry dough, and a finished cheese pastie in a tube shape.

Couldn't manage any drawing while cooking. 5 p.m. #hourlycomicday

I'm doing some baking to take to my friend's b-day party. The theme is "tubes."

Audrey Westcott @apwestcott.bsky.social · 10/02/2025

As you can see I got the first batch posted! 4 p.m. #hourlycomicday

I scan this sketchbook while checking my watch. Then I get out my giant stand mixer for Mysterious Reasons.

My hourlies, pt. 2. Better late than never. Here's the "me drawing hourlies" portion. 2 p.m. #hourlycomicday

I furiously scribble my hourlies, then fall into a stupor.

I was in a Schnucks once and this started playing over the speakers. Unreal grocery shopping experience 10/10.

I did not prep for #hourlycomicday like I should have. 1 p.m.

Instead of drawing all my comics panels ahead of time last night, I smooshed my dog's face.

It is lunch time. Thank you Jennifer for the lentil burger! 12 p.m. #hourlycomicday

I sit and draw comics with terrible posture while my kind husband goes to the grocery store. I eat a lentil burger my coworker made for me.

This year Maple gets to be in the hourly comics. 9 a.m. #hourlycomicday

My dog does this incredible thing where she looks like she's about to howl but instead she just goes "HNNNGGGHHH." I make pour over coffee.

Audrey Westcott @apwestcott.bsky.social · 01/02/2025

I awake and look at the internet. 8:20 a.m. #hourlycomicday

I sit up in bed and look at my phone which is a mistake. The US Dept. of State has removed the "T" from their LGBT Travelers' page and on top of being horrendous, it also looks really stupid.

Other people have said much more meaningful things about Lynch’s legacy and I’ll leave it to them, but for my part, no one quite captures the bizarre wonder of living in the world the way he did.

In honor of David Lynch, I humbly submit these sketchbook pages from 2013, when I was watching Twin Peaks for the first time and couldn’t stop thinking about it.

Giant Lucy from Twin Peaks looms over her two tiny suitors, Andy and Dick, and wrings her hands.

Agent Cooper, back turned, holds a cup of steaming coffee and looks off into the distance as the traffic signal sways in the wind.

Greetings, I am an illustrator / comics artist / designer living in St. Louis. You can talk to me about riding bikes, organizing @slicexpo.bsky.social, or you can tell me a crazy story. There's a 67% chance I'm petting my dog right now.

Sendup of Seurat's Le Grand Jatte riverside scene with modern day characters and lots of geese.

Single page comic of a person (me) singing Meg Myers's Little Black Death to their cat but replacing the word "death" with "cat." The cat does not understand.

Santa does a BMX trick under the full moon.
