I’ve been meaning to make these two display signs for the last several years, and I’m glad I finally got them done before the month is over. Check your local libraries for all your holiday book needs! #library #bookdisplays #art #halloween #diadelosmuertos #philippineheritagemonth

I just noticed their ponytail looks like a witch’s broom and that’s a really cool touch.

Drew several stickers lately. Some bugs knights to give out to people, and some as treats for my friends’ birthdays. Also one birthday card featuring the birthday girl’s D&D character. #stickers #handdrawn #treehoppers #bugknights #birthdaycard #dungeonsanddragons #tiefling

Why would they set fire to that hat? That’s a cool hat.

This week’s trivia and recommendation. I do wonder how many kids will recognize the duo in this week’s question. They don’t get recycled to the same extent as something like Scooby-Doo. #library #weeklytrivia #thesimpsons #jaderabbit #bookrecommendation #thewizardofoz #lfrankbaum

I’ve been busy this summer working on a big art project, which is why I haven’t posted any of my usual comics in several months. But I did manage to make this new display sign during the slow periods at work. How many titles do you recognize? #library #bookdisplay #hispanicheritagemonth

This week’s trivia and recommendation. I always liked how Jamieson manages to capture that feeling of constant confusion kids have regarding the rules of growing up within her books. I’m looking forward to her next one! #library #trivia #spiderman #bookrecommendation #rollergirl #victoriajamieson

When you first play video games that came pre-installed on your old computer, that’s a Snood awakening.

This week’s trivia and recommendation. The Cardboard Kingdom books really capture that feeling of being a kid with the whole day in front of you. Still hoping for a fourth book about spring! #bookrecommendation #trivia #library #librarianrecommends #spiderman #thecardboardkingdom #chadsell

My entries for the Helluva Boss Book Report contest! I would've liked to do a third one, but I couldn't come up with any ideas, sadly. Still, it was fun to draw these characters. Looking forward to season 3! #helluvaboss #spindlehorse #hbbookreport #stolas #moxxie #blitzo

Cool! Glad you like them! I got the idea from a previous job at Starbucks, where the winner got a free drink.

New comic about stories getting retold and exaggerated over time. Who knows how many real myths started out this way. Also, a no-prize to anyone recognizes the name on the lizard's shirt. #comic #sketchbook #seatails #barstories #noprize

This week’s trivia and recommendation. I remember reading Rapunzel’s Revenge when it first came out, and looking back it feels like an early herald of the graphic novel book we’re currently in. #library #weeklytrivia #bookrecommendation #rapunzelsrevenge #shannonhale #deanhale #nathanhale

I had the last week and a half off from work and spent a lot of that time drawing. Not as much as I would’ve liked, even with that much time, but I did draw 22 new treehopper stickers to give away to people. #art #stickers #treehoppers #bugknights #giveaways #natureiswild #artiscalming #relaxation

I recently spent several relaxing evenings making more treehopper stickers. I make a cup of tea, get a snack, put on a good show in the background, and just go for it. Incredibly calming and rejuvenating. #stickers #handmade #treehoppers #bugknights #natureiswild #artiscalming #relaxation

The folks over at the art workshop Citation Needed hosted a Make Your Own Pokémon program at the library today. This was my contribution. We’ve had a fire cat starter, then a grass cat starter. Now we just need a water cat starter. #art #pokemon #pokemoncards #citationneeded #watertype #washkers

Honestly this chapter took longer to finish that I would've liked, and I think that's due to being intimidated by the backgrounds I needed to draw. Scenery is not my forte, so I could only do the best I can. Nobody ever said making comics was easy. (3/3) #comic #seatails #mail #penpal #sketchbook

The bats are supposed to be Northern Long-Eared Bats, but despite looking up pictures of that species, I ended up drawing the ears incorrectly. Whoops. If this family ever appears again, expect their designs to be slightly different. (2/3) #comic #seatails #northernlongearedbats #shorthaircat #mail

Mx Trist @turtlekittydraws.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Finally back with another Sea Tails chapter! This one is based on an anecdote I heard at a wedding last year from an actual mail carrier. (1/3) #comic #seatails #mail #northernlongearedbat #shorthaircat
