ugh
There’s a lot of negativity in the various art communities, which is why I really like Aaron’s Comic Manifest podcast. It’s upbeat and positive and focuses on talking to artists about things that can really be helpful to others. I enjoyed listening to it in the past when I needed a bit of a boost while working, so it’s pretty cool to have gotten a chance to be on it.
This happened ten years ago, when I had to get my nails done for a wedding. I haven’t had another manicure until my own wedding in September. I didn’t enjoy that one either.
Sorry this is a bit late. I had it drawn a week ago, but found myself out of town without a proper scanner.
My face is super asymmetrical, which means the face I see in the mirror is super different from the one I see in photos, and it always freaks me out. I’ll probably never know whether I am actually as gross as I look in photos or if I’m just not at all photogenic, or if it’s a mix somewhere in between. :|
Can I have a big kiss from skadi
Sure, she bites though!
True story
Ho boy do I have a lot of waitressing stories. I’ll start with this one, about a regular I called “Wolverine” to myself. Unfortunately I was forced to serve a lot of gross people because I was the only teenager working in the restaurant, which was a cheap cafe in the back of a seedy casino. Being the youngest there, I was often given the crappiest shifts as well, the graveyard/early morning double shift being the absolute worst. This of course was always when Wolverine emerged from whatever hole he lived in to come get breakfast for three bucks.
So I’m officially doing a weekly journal comic. Don’t worry, they won’t all be about my cats, I promise. :3
An infestation of surly, salty merms.
I get kinda anxious drawing commissions at conventions, so at Geek Girl Con I started drawing mermaids whenever there was a quiet time and selling them. It was a pretty fun and stress-free way to deliver original art, so I think I’m gonna keep doing similar things at the next convention I’m at...
A while back I was asked to do a guest comic for Camp Weedonwantcha, and now it’s up! Katie and Adam are great and I was really happy to be able to contribute. Head on over to campcomic.com and check it out.
