13, 20, 26, 29 😛

helloooo :-]

13. A creator who you admire but whose work isn't your thing

I feel like a lot of musicians align with this category for me. They make music or an album that isn't my fav or something I'd typically gravitate to, but I can still relate to their creative experience. Which is like!! THE COOLEST!! That we all have this common ground to talk about across the entirety of human expression. For specifics, Jonathan Richman's music is good! But not my thing, yet I appreciate all his interviews about making art :)

20. Something everyone else finds hard to draw but you enjoy

Hands maybe?? I don't mind them! I've never been one to stress on anatomy or put pressure on myself to be accurate.

26. What's a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what you intended

Uhm.. hm I'd say a lot of my old personal positivity comics about making art. Solely because they'd gain a bit of traction on twitter and the comments would turn to people being negative on themselves. & I would be like noooooo!! I made this because it's ok to make mistakes or just have fun and draw stupid shit!! I promise!! At the end of the day it was just sad to see and I wish I could tell people that things truly truly will work out and be ok.

29. Media you love, but doesn't inspire you artistically

UGH. I THINK ABOUT THIS ALL THE TIME.

My aesthetic interests do not align well with the work I make so I'm constantly in this limbo of wondering how people perceive me online via my art. Q Hayashida's work is probably where it's most apparent. I love Dorohedoro.. I love how gritty, dark and silly it feels!!

Update: I officially sold out of copies! Unfortunately I fell ill after MICE so it's taking me awhile to reorganize things, but later in the week I should be making a $125 donation thanks to everyone's support!

To everyone that wishes to buy elsewhere or online, I'll update my accounts if a second reprint happens🫡! But for now it is still free to read online via my comics tag on tumblr.

Howdy!! Popping in to say my last bday comic Wake Up: Ballad for the Midwest Queer won a mini comic award at MICE! I'll be donating 50% of its physical copy profits to the TransOhio Emergency Fund. Please consider checking out the work they do as well as the rest of the MICE winners!

just wanted to say that I'm really happy you drew Dahlia because I like her and I love your art style!!
