@sarvenaztash.bsky.social @aaknopf.bsky.social THE TREASURE OF OCEAN PARKWAY (11/11/25) is a fun scavenger hunt mystery to end my summer reading. The best part-- it could be read on its own!

Congrats! You must be spent. I recently finished mine and spent the next day playing video games and just couch-potatoing hard, lol.

Ari is a rare gem, generous with her time, thoughtful and challenging (in the best way). I’ll miss working with her and expect she’s got great things on the horizon

Ari is just amazing. This is someone genuinely committed to artists and sharing their stories. We could (and probably should) fill the timeline with compliments for her here. If any publisher follows me here, please hire her!

I had read they didn’t renew her contract but I googled it just now to make sure and apparently they didn’t renew it as part of the regular cast but will be back for a few episodes? Still unsure but if it is true, I will be delighted!

Ok, have you tried Guayaki's Yerbamate Grapefruit Ginger, though? I know that mix sounds weird but if you ever come across it, I highly recommend you give it a try.

If we stop using them, they will cease to exist! You can't let Gen-z's and Alphas drive such an art form to extiction. One day the Omegas will study us, find out about them, start a fad and take credit. We musn't succumb. Emoticon to the grave, I say! >:O

Been a bit since I draw anything for myself. :)

A woman with blue/grayish hair, wearing a striped shirt is looking at the viewer. Wind is blowing through her hair and there are dust particles and leaves around her. She is wearing red tear shaped earrings.

Being an artist is swinging on the daily between feeling like an omnipotent god who can will their very ideas into creation and an absolute fraud who can barely hold a pencil.

In 2016, President Barack Obama appointed Dr. Carla Hayden to be the 14th Librarian of Congress. The Librarian of Congress serves a 10 year term. In 2026, the next President of the United States will name the 15th Librarian of Congress. Not that you really needed another reason to vote.

Oh that sounds so nice! I'll check it out. I recently finished Frieren and it was also so so SO beautiful. I think it's one of my favorite animes ever. Recommended if you havent seen it yet!

Definitely on the higher end for GNs these days but I know of people who have gotten 80k advances. The size of the publisher and whether you are the author (as well as the artist) has a lot to do with it too, afaik.

I think it's about 15$ a day, 19$ if you don't work weekends. But what freelancer doesn't have to work most weekends? Lol

LOL cat looks slighly concerned XD I know that you and your kid look very much alike but every time you share a pic of your childhood, I can't help but feel amazed at the resemblance.

Been a while! A drawing I did to indulge a bit in the midst of work. I guess I will be posting all of my future work over here for the time being. Who knows where we will be a month from now.

When your partner has conditioned you to have amazing coffee every afternoon for years and then leaves for a work trip and you have to drink shitty coffee for 5 whole days. 😩

A couple years ago I quit my streaming and music subs and put the money towards Patreon and indie creator subs instead, if you’re not making much use of those big services consider putting that money towards indie content!

Even if you don't touch your tumblr hardly ever, be sure you "opt out" of 3rd party sharing to keep you off AI models. Or delete the blog. Whatever floats your fancy. Blog settings --> Visibility -->Prevent 3rd Party Sharing
