what the pictures don't relate is that the second interior page of this comic is also the fourth, and the first page is also the last.

the comic was originally intended to be printed mist-on-black for the cover and burgundy+flo-orange-on-cream for the interior, but mint-on-black and violet+flo-pink-on-cream was too good to leave on the table.

fuck they essentially *combined* 22 with 35. that's some inspired design–i love seeing that with comics.

i get so annoyed every time i find myself grinding my teeth because it reminds me that "bruxism" and "bruxa" are not etymologically linked, and they should be.

i think, fundamentally, novels are generally too big to adapt into single-volume graphic novels. too many things have to happen, too many developments need to be condensed or cut.

i enjoyed reading Scheele's adaptation of Orlando. the panelling is fantastic—i like how often my eye is led in circles and meandering swoops across pages—and the coloring is stunning (i also quite like the bird studies throughout). but, i think it really needed to be two to three times as long.

An Abyssinian roller that is also a little book. It begins: “Why is a roller like a writing desk? The need for fire and acacia, both. One for blood - the other, ink.” Written in India ink. - #SciArtSeptember Day 30: Carbon

A painted, cut-out paper bird in the shape of an Abyssinian roller. The bird has one wing folded back, which reveals a small booklet of pages under the wing. The underwing is brown and has uneven letters painted on it in another shade of brown reading, “Some small words about the medium of carbon.” The booklet pages are bright blue, like the bird, and the words inside are unclear. The bird rests on a wooden table top.

this is mostly a reflection on what the process of coming to drawing more-seriously in my early 30s has been and the role digital drawing has had on that. frankly, i feel working digitally has taught me some terrible habits that can't be rectified with more digital work.

Fledermoyz @fledermoyz.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

not to detract from the reactionary stupidity of CSP's owners and its impact on the artists who rely on it, but i feel i made a good decision in going with krita for digital art—partly because it *doesn't* have 3D maquettes, which i felt could very easily negatively impact my technical learning.

Fledermoyz @fledermoyz.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

definitely a design that needs some work lol. sometime i'll have to come back to it and work out how to make the pages flip more nicely/lay down better. also how to get a few more pages into the sequence. idk what i'd do with it yet, but it's got potential for cyclical and reversible narratives.

thank you for sharing! your characters have great expression, and i really like the purple paper (i like when artists remember they can use colored paper with riso—bonus color!).

Here’s another comic from the same time period, 2015-2016. I didn’t start to be called Briar until late 2017. (thread)

A purple and blue risographed minicomic. Title reads “Physical Limitations”

dang i had no idea you'd messed around with it! the separations and the necessarily unpredictable registration of each color as a sheet of paper goes through the printer are definitely a challenge to grasp and work with. but yeah, very satisfying. i'd love to see some of your prints!

Fledermoyz @fledermoyz.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

if you ever had a chance to play with a riso-printer i bet you'd have a lot of fun. the colors a lot of print studios offer mesh really well with your eye-burner palette, and the technique produces some really interesting effects with collaged photos and drawings.

can't engage in the treachery of images without intention and a grasp of "the real" and abstraction.
