when I was a kid I had a friend go to summer camp (no one from my block usually went to summer camp for socioeconomic reasons) and the first thing I said when she told me she was going was, CAN YOU BRING ME BACK SOME LICHEN??? THE BIG SPRINGY KIND WE CAN'T GET AT THE PARK?? 👀✨ (she did)

🧡 On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, CBC reports that 11 years after the TRC issued 94 Calls to Action, only 15 have been put into force. Truth requires remembering. Reconciliation also requires action. What concrete progress should Canadians expect to see next?

I'm categorized as an AI subscriber, because I'm subscribed to the 3 TB tier of Google Drive and and they literally just changed the name of the plan to "Google AI Plus." Those "AI subscriber" numbers are 100 percent juiced and phony, and you're a sucker if you believe otherwise.

I forgot why I'd originally written a character's name with a certain spelling until I tried to write it with the in-world text that I developed in middle school and it just didn't work with the revised spelling

This year's edition of The Sea Unseen is out now! You can get a copy here and 100% of the $ go to the Australian Marine Conservation Society! In my rage against AI being argued as "democratizing art" I used dollar store crayons on public library printer paper. seaunseenzine.itch.io/sea-unseen-2...
a cropped preview version of my wax crayon mola mola illustration. It is very obviously drawn with cheap art materials but executed well nonetheless because anybody can learn to draw using free YouTube videos and shit they have in their junk drawers if they hold their task endurance and emotional resilience

People really need to fucking re-learn the difference between "I don't like this" and "This is harmful". Not liking a thing is fine, but you don't get to dictate what others enjoy, actually. Especially not within fiction. Be an adult. If you don't like something, move on.

#my9animes these are the ones that rewired my brain the most during my formative years. didn't include some of my faves because even though they're my faves, they didn't INFLUENCE my art/storytelling as much as these (naruto, utena, FLCL, cowboy bebop, original digimon, sailor moon. I could go on)
9 anime titles. Oh! my goddess, azumanga daioh, fruits asket, last exile, ouran high school host club, chrono crusade, fullmetal alchemist, pokemon, and inuyasha

My piece for this year's edition of the Polar Lights Zine. You can find it here for only $2 USD (or more—it's donation-based) polarlightszine.itch.io All proceeds benefit the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition. 🐡 #art #comics #birds #owls #SciArt #zines #BirdArt
A two page monochromatic comic spread in which a snowy owl hones in on and swoops to catch a lemming over three frames. The narration says, "Master of stealth? Hunter of cute things? Not actually nocturnal? One of the largest species of owl? You've got yourself a snowy owl." The owl says, "Lock on!" in the first panel and, "Nice!" in the last panel where it catches its breakfast. The third page of the snowy owl comic. There are three panels.
In the first panel, the owl is holding a lemming comedically aware that it is about to die. The owl says, "Nailed it! Okay. Okay. Look cool."
The second panel features the snowy owl looking totally uncool as it eats the lemming with a loud, sloppy HURLK sound. I have manually drawn a mosaic blur with halftone squares to censor the lemming getting eaten.
The third panel features the snowy owl with a bloodstained face and a satisfied expression. It says, "Close enough."
