this is actually one of my favorite drawings i’ve done recently. it feels very personal but simple, based on a day in my own bed. d is more or less a reflection of me, so i think i just really touched that here

the whole “art comes from pain” broadly speaking idea… feels predicated on the pain being in the past. active pain in the present can only make so much art. you can’t be actively suffering and want to create?

crazy how you take the wrong antidepressants and you stop feeling ensouled

sometimes i see this sentiment of people wanting to start smoking or be a smoker… as a smoker i’m just like, “then do it? what’s stopping you…?” i know why people feel this way and why they don’t actually want to smoke… but you are an adult, you can make those choices? join me in bad decision making

1/4 After chatting with my students this semester I was inspired to redraw & re-letter my "Ins and Outs of Webcomics" comic. A 9 page Scott McCloud-style narrative for those looking for comics-related reading material, how-to guides, or an introduction to webcomics! #Webcomics #Comic

Cover of "The Ins and Outs of Webcomics" by "Jey Pawlik". Black and white illustration with halftones of Jey, a nonbinary person with short cropped black hair and big rectangular glasses running through a panel in a comic page. The background is made up of many blank comic pages with panel layouts on them.

i started w/ very rudimentary code knowledge, but using the power of 'looking stuff up' i was able to set up the darlin' site in one day using this. rarebit.neocities.org there's some hiccups to work out but that's part of your training. the era of ease is over, the era of self-determination is now

the addiction to convenience stretches both ways. these platforms train readers to mindlessly 'consume' and train artists out of organic online community w/ other artists. it WON'T be easy finding your audience as an independent creator. but it WILL be something you control.

everyone's going to have to stop leaning on platforms like this to 'find their audience' because the audience is fake and also it doesn't actually belong to you. it belongs to the platform and it will remove you from the equation as soon as they can.

something inspired by magnolia electric by songs: ohia. what really captures me about this album requires context… but the main thing being, trying so hard to change and be better but being ultimately unable to. here’s to the strange things you see late at night on the road.

sorry for the borderline edgelord art… this was going to be a nice drawing, but you can’t look up any animal references on google without getting dead ones 😵‍💫 so that changed the trajectory… this is just a doodle, but i want to draw more unicorns now.

it's been hard to do much the past few days, but here is a drawing! i want to make a lot of changes to this second act (purgatorio), i think it will be much shorter but more concise. and still playing with whatever its color palette will be.

got into a bad mood. so i drew some more. i had a rescue greyhound growing up. if you know anything about them, you know they are often starved and neglected so they can race and then spend their rescued lives hungry. vets call greyhound puppies “unicorns,” as they’ve avoided the abuse altogether.
