Darkward Thumbnails
I was commissioned to illustrate a 4 page comic by Xalavier Nelson Jr. https://twitter.com/WritNelson and I've just finished the thumbnails for it!
I'm really grateful for the chance to practise drawing action scenes because uh, the comic I want to pitch has a lot of fights and I realised that I *suck* at action haha
Anyway this was really fun to work on - frustrating in a lot of ways but I really f...

A Difficult Situation (WIP)
'You are not required to set yourself on fire to keep others warm' is something I wish I'd heard a LOT sooner in my life than 2019 but it's a useful thing to keep in mind.
As I take better care of myself, I often worry about growing cold. I don't actually think I will, but every time I end up putting myself first I have that fear.
It's very strange to go from someone who had no concept of boundaries or putting yourself first, to someone who actually takes good care of herself.

Hoo boy. This is mostly about my parents but I think it's true for most people. Once you decide how you feel about someone, it can be hard to actually see the real them and not the person you invented (which ends up being bad for everyone involved lol)
Don't put people in boxes or on pedestals.
Also this comic was inspired by a conversation I had with my pal Julie a while ago that I've been thinking about for a long time ever since

So my agent wants me to pitch her a graphic novel and I'm like YeeHaw. I don't want to send her Violapse (purely because I don't want to make Violapse with a publisher, I want it to be like *my thing* lol) so I've been developing something else.
I'm going back to my roots and revisiting an old project from when I was younger >:3 I'll share more when I have more of it figured out but for now, please enjoy these super messy doodles of one of the main characters, Lamb :>

uwuwuwu the story of my life. I recently learned that this is a common autism behaviour and I'm like haha hoooo add that to the list :3
Oh also I changed the ending from how it was in the sketch. I'm often worried that my comics read as 'waa woe is me' rather than like 'here is a thing I experience' and I think the change illustrates that better.... it is still kinda woe is me though........ WELP I'm just gonna own being a whiny baby on the internet tbh. It's my brand I guess LOL :><...

A Better Tomorrow (Thumbnails)
I was commissioned to illustrate this comic by Kathryn McBeef who wrote it. The whole thing is about toxic positivity which is pretty funny because I was writing my own comic about toxic positivity when Kathryn reached out to me. I'm very excited to be working on this!
Hoo boy I am kind of scared to ink it though... how do draw... helicopter....???

Excitement
I first noticed this about myself when I was 18 and my friends and I were planning on going on holiday together to Amsterdam for a couple of days. The whole semester they were BUZZING about it and I was like ???? I feel nothing?? Except fear...???? Aaaa??? and I've kind of been that way ever since OOF.
There was a lot I wanted to say about this that didn't make it into the comic (the downsides of doing short strips haha) but I often worry about the future like... am I going to be excite...
