BEENA MISTRY @beenathemistry.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I really enjoyed working on this cover and the Alina series these past five years! I feel like I've grown up a lot along with Alina so I'm glad we're both smarter and more experienced for it. 120
BEENA MISTRY @beenathemistry.bsky.social · 01/10/2026the last and final book of the Alina series, published by Second Story Press, is out now! here's the cover. I drew so many (3) giraffes for this book I've never drawn this many giraffes in my life actually. 132
BEENA MISTRY @beenathemistry.bsky.social · 18/09/2026the zine features collage, illustration, and writing by both Cleo and me and a special guest contributor 031
BEENA MISTRY @beenathemistry.bsky.social · 18/09/2026new zine! "I Love You Bestco" is a zine about the rituals of going to a chinese grocery store to get yourself a treat or two. this zine is special because it's my first collaborative scene with my beloved bestie Cleopatria Peterson :) 241
BEENA MISTRY @beenathemistry.bsky.social · 18/08/2026I've been rereading this slowly in between updates and I'm soooo excited to read this new chapter tonight 010
BEENA MISTRY @beenathemistry.bsky.social · 12/08/2026what platforms are people using to host their portfolios these days? my co-op student is looking for recommendations and I am very behind on the times 100

BEENA MISTRY @beenathemistry.bsky.social · 25/04/2026I've been calling it "dunky egg" in my head it rolls off the tongue better lmao 010
BEENA MISTRY @beenathemistry.bsky.social · 06/04/2026I've been using the last for since 2019 and apparently you become a new person every seven years so 030
BEENA MISTRY @beenathemistry.bsky.social · 24/02/2026I love the dunky egg books so much I was so jaded about this adaptation. but it's actually so much better than I could've imagined. everyone who was responsible for making GOT and HOTD bad is my enemy for life 010
BEENA MISTRY @beenathemistry.bsky.social · 24/02/2026akotsk so good im drawing asoiaf fanart for the first time in 11 years 132
BEENA MISTRY @beenathemistry.bsky.social · 15/10/2025I haven't been traveling much these past five years so this was my first time keeping a proper travel sketchbook in a while! also this was my first time traveling to the west coast. can you believe that they have mountains there 130
BEENA MISTRY @beenathemistry.bsky.social · 15/10/2025misc sketchbook pages from my west coast travels earlier this year 1181
BEENA MISTRY @beenathemistry.bsky.social · 29/09/2025is tagging a thing on bsky... anyway look at my haikyuu and pokémon fanart 010
BEENA MISTRY @beenathemistry.bsky.social · 29/09/2025my current aspiration is to draw like I'm 14 years old again 140
BEENA MISTRY @beenathemistry.bsky.social · 02/08/2025All proceeds of the zine are being split between Ele Elna Elak and The Sameer Project. If you make a minimum $10 donation to either of the above orgs, or any other providing mutual aid to the Palestinians I will email you a copy of the zine. 020
BEENA MISTRY @beenathemistry.bsky.social · 02/08/2025It's a pretty heavy perzine so I don't plan on releasing the zine for free anytime soon. ALSO this zine is actually THREE zines in one because I had so many thoughts. It's 30 pages long. It's about 70% perzine 30% fanzine. 120
BEENA MISTRY @beenathemistry.bsky.social · 02/08/2025This one came out of a 1000 word manifesto I wrote out one night after Haruichi Furudate dropped some updates about Haikyuu and I got caught up on my feelings. This is a zine about closure and fighting for your own happiness. 110
BEENA MISTRY @beenathemistry.bsky.social · 02/08/2025hello bluesky it's my birthday so I have a new zine for you all 181

BEENA MISTRY @beenathemistry.bsky.social · 12/03/2025okay decided to make a bsky account for food posting! posting leggy soup rn @mangokulfi.bsky.social 050
BEENA MISTRY @beenathemistry.bsky.social · 11/03/2025I made a poll on instagram and unsurprisingly the votes are skewed towards instagram so I figured I'd ask here as well 210
BEENA MISTRY @beenathemistry.bsky.social · 11/03/2025I miss interacting with my friends! But I don't have the energy or interest in cross posting, so I want to know if interested people would rather see my food ramblings on bluesky or instagram 100
BEENA MISTRY @beenathemistry.bsky.social · 11/03/2025hi bsky friends! I'm interested in knowing how many of you are using this platform more than instagram. I'm asking because I've had a food journal twitter account that I want to move onto a different platform now that so many people have left. 150
BEENA MISTRY @beenathemistry.bsky.social · 30/01/2025pages from my 2023 zine "two springs", a journal perzine that documents my life from spring 2022 to spring 2023, using photos I took with three different disposable cameras. the zine uses different photos that I’ve collaged, overlaid with hand written text and illustrations 161
