i removed "obsessed with pirates" from my nickname not because i am no longer obsessed with pirates but because i need to think of a shorter way to say it. any given moment i AM daydreaming about pirates. lesbian ones

She's yelling about graphic novels again. I wrote a blog post about how to track work hours and do the math to build better work schedules. This speaks to graphic novelists specifically but it's good info for any freelancer!

the crazy thing about making time for any creative pursuit is that you literally have to do what you have a gut-deep yearning to do or else you'll see other people doing it, and it WILL make you insane.

Midnight burn #art #dragon #moon

Digital art of a dragon rearing up from black clouds, wings open and covered in star like speckles. Behind the dragon the sky is dark at the edges of the canvas, growing lighter from shades of dusky blue to pink to yellow, where a large crescent moon glows brightly.

RIP. Sparrow is a large part of the soundtrack of my childhood. The way I write and talk is hugely grounded in calypso. When ppl ask what influences my sffh writing it's people like this giant and oral folktales from Trinidad. Thank you, Sir for all the joy. 🖤 trinidadexpress.com/news/mighty-...

Hello! I apologize if this is a question with an obvious answer, but I was curious about if you represent graphic novels?

it's happened again

the 'say the line bart' meme, and bart is saying 'spent all day on a warm up drawing', a familier pitfall for the average artist
