my pieces for @wnycomicarts.bsky.social first comic anthology! an absolute honor to be featured with so many amazing comic artists [ #indiecomics #digitalart #illustration #comics #artsky ]

A comic page with a title at the top that reads Samurai Champloo Episode 27. Dirae of Dandelions'. The page features scenes of a hospita room and a girl holding another girls hand, this girl laving on a hospital bed. Text through the page reads 'I had a dream last night. You are there. I am too. Samurai Champloo is playing. This episode does not exist'

A comic page. It is slowly getting over run by dandelions. There's a close up on the girl in the bed, she's speaking but all her speech bubbles are empty and drip like sludge. The other girl looks distressed and begins to crv. The bottom of the page filters into nothing but a dying dandelion, who's puffs are blowing off the page. Text reads vou're telling me something I can't understand. It feels bad.I might deserve it. wake up.'
