The coloring is mostly cyan and dark blues, with yellowish and green closer to the characters. It has a mysterious atmosphere.

A short comic from 2025. I did it for a fanzine @jectoons.itch.io invited me to collaborate and I completely forgot to share it on my social media. So here it is: How can we be happy with our shape when we could be infinite shadows? *Sigh*

Inks in progress on three comic book pages in progress, depicting the artist making coffee and having a cigar while talking about the book these pages are from (the upcoming compilation of "Clippings" strips, made for Assigned Media)

In the comic, the artist is wearing a beanie, a black cami bodysuit, and booty shorts, and has a paintbrush hanging out of the side of her mouth.

Imagine talking about any other public service this way. Does the government keep public hospitals “afloat”? What about when it gave Marine Atlantic $169 million to support its operations in 24/25? The media does the bidding of those who want to private Canada Post when they adopt this framing.

The boat keeps going incredibly fast through the ocean. Jules says 'So, do we even know where we're going?' Tip replies 'I don't think the boat is giving us much of a choice.' Nibs puts their hands on their hips and looks down at Jules. 'Try talking to it again'. Jules leans on the edge of the boat and yells 'BOAT! Take us to the king of Slumberland!' Suddenly they realize that there's a fin closely following them. Jules says 'Huh? I'm assuming it's bad that a fin in the water is able to keep up with us.'

Showing off the concept art behind this place in the Cavendish manor! I modeled it in Blender beforehand but here's a nice breakdown of it. And in full color! Don't stare too much, I changed a few things that aren't in the comic lol #LWA #conceptart
Concept art sheet showcasing a library in the style of the Cavendish manor from Little Witch Academia. A tapestry (The Lady and the Unicorn, Touch) decorates the main wall. There's tall bookcases covering 3 of the 4 walls and octagonal nooks in each corner looking outside. Different angles from the library showing different perspectives and thus different objects from it. The light comes from the main windows.

First page of Amelie Shypilova's '5 Things You See'. A young person is in the bys, surrounded by people. They have a popper fidget toy, and are looking at all the people around them: people hanging out, eating. They are trembling, and think to themselves '4 things I can touch. 3 things I can smell. 2 things I can...!!!' They take a deep breath and hold it in for 3. They exhale. They take a deep breath and barely hold it in, and start breathing deeply more and more, less time passing every time.

In 2018, Nicole Maines became the first trans person to play an explicitly transgender superhero on television. Fifty years prior, another trans femme quietly took on a role on the opposite side of the coin. Read this month's Clippings by @piperbomb.bsky.social here!
Two femme figures stand side-by-side, both bathed in starlight and with spotlights highlighting their faces. On the left is Nicole Maines, wearing a low cut leather top with a lace-scalloped hem and with her long brown hair unfurled around her neck. On the right is a younger Aleshia Brevard, wearing a country-western button-up with very flashy earrings, her hair done up in a ’60s style.

going through some old illustration work again while getting the portfolio settled this morning cover art for INX comic issue 12. greg russell, editor. pen and ink with digital screentones, 2021. #art #illustration #comicart #queerart
The cover art for INX comic, issue 12. A trans woman in a shoulderless dress with a visible Adam's apple and curly hair tucked behind her shoulder gazes into the camera, with leaves and flowers flowing upwards behind her. The moon forms a makeshift nimbus behind her head, and the text at the bottom says "See you in starlight...", a reference to the Interpol track "Stay In Touch" from the album "Marauder", which I was listening to quite a bit at the time.

The title floats in front of them saying "To Sand again". Panel 2: Curio looks left. Panel 3: Curio looks right. Panel 4: Curio places their hands on the ground prepping to get up. Panel 5: Curio has lifted themselves to their knees.Panel 1: Curio is fully standing. A caption box titles them Curio. Panel 2: They look left again. Panel 3: They look right again.Panel 1: The Chorus watches on and the Tyler comments "They look embarrassed." Panel 2: The Orator turns to the readers and says "Dear reader, we have learned a detail about Curio's character. Did we witness the inception of this trait or perhaps, is this a trait that they had before our story began?" Panel 3: The Tyler says "Stop pestering the reader with questions that won't be answered." The Orator responds "Harrumph. We are allowed to indulge ourselves in the possibilities presented by the moment.Panel 1: The Orator continues "Besides this is a moment of calibration not shame." Panel 2: The Tyler says "I do concede that I find a bit of joy in their achievement." Panel 3: The Steward interjects "They got a cute butt." The Tyler says "Don't be crass."

i know bsky is not full of Technical Linux Enjoying Dorks like myself, but i am boosting this here for added reach plz feel free to comment below if you have any recs/any good experiences with hosting services and folk
given most of the recent Goings-On here on this side of the pond, i'm looking at moving my portfolio website and blog (currently hosted on a VPS on Vultr) off of US-based infrastructure

i am aware that "there is no cloud, only someone else's computer", but i do not have direct access to bare metal in a non-five-eyes state. with that stated: does anyone have recommendations for a privacy-centric VPS service located outside of US jurisdiction? 

for context, i am an American trans journalist and graphic novelist who is more than comfortable with setting up a Linux webserver from scratch. literally just need somewhere i can give my readers updates on my work without possibly facing US-based anti-trans censorship in the future.

(plz boost 4 reach!)
