Does anyone have thoughts on the huion tablets 😳?? Pretty please? Or a portable cintiq?? Maybaps??

Please nyalll 🥺 I am all ears!!

Oooooooh I haven't heard of these until now! I've heard good things about the Lenovo laptops in general though. Thank you so much!!

Oooooh a tablet!! I feel so spoiled with display tablets now. It's hard for me to go back but maybe I just need to bite the bullet 😭 I actually have an xp pen and I like it though it's unfortunately way too big for travel! Something to consider tho. Ty wem;;

its #lesbianvisibilityweek . you know what im gonna say. Read my toxic band yuri

Question for all artists or there too! What portable drawing tablets do you use/ recommend, or perhaps suggest avoiding? I'm not looking for an iPad. I'm looking for something to hook up to a laptop to work on the go, while still being portable and a good device overall 🫶

I currently work off a PC, so that's my main work Brain. I just want something to supplement that! I used to work off an old Amazing Beefy Laptop with max specs but it is finally 11 YEARS OLD so I think it's time to upgrade 😭

Just throwing this out there but does anyone have laptop recommendations? I'm looking for Not Apple/Mac, good for drawing and working on the go, can handle art programs, maybe a light game or two, but also still portable and light?

I'd love to know what y'all are using out there, if anything;

It's been One Scene post time skip and Edelgard is already such a cutie. Bro. Wtf. You're telling me the Adrestian Emperor is all blushy and moe now! My knees are hitting the floor man 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😳😳😳😳😳😳

We finally. FINALLY. got to the time skip!! I will say, the pacing was nuts. Crimson Flower truly was cheated because there wasn't even a Single Cutscene 😭

He's just a lil droopy! Who doesn't want a sad lil guy;;

RIGHT. Just a sad lil giraffe guy hanging out 😭 the designer for this collection seriously popped off. They're all bangers

Oh my gosh that's such a good idea! I'm curious :3 do you know which stuffed animal it was??

Ikea GREJSIMOJS collection - an LED decorative floor lamp shaped like a Giraffe

I mean. come on?! look at this. he's just sitting there
GREJSIMOJS

being an adult means you CAN buy everything from the IKEA kid's collection for yourself, actually

also! my mental health and overall happiness improved leaps once i started another job aside from freelancing. It has been so amazing to have a commitment that gets me out of my own head and home office while being forced to engage with people. Getting out in the world is important you guys!!

anyways. it is such a privilege to get to create art and share it and to have someone supporting me to do so. I try not to take it for granted in this age of increasingly shitty tech and corporate greed 💛

I feel like I experienced a sudden cosmic shift of the universe in the last week because now I am suddenly Booked for the rest of the season and then some? thank you world for wanting art, even in the smallest ways ❤️

wah i don't talk about it much but I feel really really really blessed to keep doing what I do. What a gift it is to draw and to connect with people through art!! ;-;

Come celebrate 5 years of Blind Alley with me!

There'll be an art show with many great cartoonists, a live reading of secret Blind Alley comics, and some exclusive merch/zines.

I like bluesky because it feels so much like tumblr

1. barely works
2. userbase is annoying (affectionate)(not that affectionate)
3. being queer on here feels like I’m actively participating in ruining some tech company’s investment

Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs.

Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026.

This is what corporate greed looks like.

Here’s just ONE of the artists Marvel Studios let go today:

Wesley Burt, a brilliant veteran, one of the best in the industry. He made the viral Fantastic Four Valentine’s day card!

He was also pivotal for the look of many films and shows like for example Loki, Black Panther, Avengers and so on!

Comics has broken my heart several times but what are you just gonna die? Keep trying

all three book covers of the MAPMAKERS series from Random House Graphic by me and Cameron Chittock

excerpt from my comic in Knapsack Anthology Vol. 2 from Lucky Pocket Press

excerpt from my self published comic, Wind Tempos Panel 1: Rowen's hand reaching down to the grass at his feet to pick up a palm-sized rock. Panel 2: Rowen's other hand reading to a slingshot in a pouch at his waist. Panel 3: Close up of Rowen's face, nose up, looking nervous and scared. TEXT 1: Load, pull... TEXT 2: and shoot... Panel 4: Wide panel, full bleed, of Rowen cautiously stepping towards a trail of blood in front of him. We can see the full expanse of the forest around him, including broken down fencing.

Color comic-style illustration about sinigang. A pot of fish sinigang is in the top left corner, the steam flowing out of the panel and down the composition in a very fluid motion. Elements and ingredients of the are around the stream from the pot, surrounded by panels shaped like droplets with moments of memory: a mother's hug, holding hands with a first love, a sunset at a beach.

late #portfolioday post

scheduling shifted for me so i'm open for short-mid length projects! comics are my usual, but open to book covers + interior illo, and perchance some ttrpg/game illo!
