Is this a pigeon meme, guy is gesturing to a butterfly captioned "never ending parade of tasks" and is saying "is this a life?"

Surrogate pregnancies are increasingly popular in tech circles, and the practice is expected to explode globally in the coming decade. It’s also shockingly unregulated. This is a story about what happens when it goes horribly wrong.

The Baby Died. Whose Fault Is It?

When her son died in utero, a venture capitalist went to extremes to punish her surrogate.

I made a little animation for my newsletter which you can read here: open.substack.com/pub/mercedes... It was fun although it took an ungodly amount of time ( Ben's claymation anyone?)

I made this lil 'zine' about a bizarre dream I had that I think was caused by watching grey's anatomy before bed plus I think I was reading Dune at the time?? Have you ever had such a weird dream that you woke up genuinely disturbed by your own mind? Bonus points if you can guess the GA episode.

Earlier this month I reached a deadline after working towards it for the last few months. It’s been all consuming and taken up all my time. This sticker I made last year is a pretty good representation of how I’ve been feeling lately lol 😂

me working on my graphic novel

autobio comic of eunnie, colored with shades of pink and purple. page 1: eunnie sits at her desk, drawing on her tablet. a thought bubble over her head contains words like "backgrounds, plot, dialogue, pacing, atmosphere, characters, theme, wardrobe..." she frowns down at her work as these concepts swirl around in her brain. a close-up in the next panel shows her face growing more discontented, a knot forming between her brows as her mouth twists in a grumble. comic pages loom above her head, full of environment shots and speech bubbles.

page 2: eunnie suddenly flings herself out of her chair and onto the floor. "I JUST WANNA DRAW GIRLS KISSING!!!!" she cries in agitation, scrunching up her face and waving her limbs around. her tablet pen is clenched in one fist.

page 3: a zoomed out, top down shot of eunnie on the floor of her room, lying motionless on her back after throwing her tantrum. in the next panel, she gets up and sits down at her desk again. she continues working in silence.

Timelapse of carving my sunflower print. This is the largest piece I’ve worked on, and I’m pretty pleased with how it’s turning out. #sunflowers #timelapse #process #lino

Working on a new block print! It’s been a while since I’ve had time for this so it’s been very relaxing. #blockprinting

The Long Game part 1/4. A mini comic I did about Pokemon monopoly game pieces and fighting with siblings. I think those with siblings really connect to this one!

I'm sharing some of my older artwork here! If you've followed me on other platforms, you might recognize some pieces, but stay tuned for new ones that I've never shared before!

As usual, I'm truly impressed by everyone's hourly comic day contributions, and, as usual, I didn't participate 🥲 . This time, I have a good reason, as I'm overwhelmed with a tight deadline! This reminded me of an earlier comic I made, so I'm sharing it now!

Hello! I've had bsky for a while but haven't really posted on here but I wanted to start by introducing myself. I'm Mercedes- a cartoonist and illustrator. I do a lot of kids comics/illustrations but also non-fiction, science comics, and fantasy. Not sure if art vs artist is a thing here lol but:
