It’s been so long I broke out my gouache and half of it is all dried up in the tubes 😭

Digital art has been bumming me out cuz of ai… but I don’t really know what my traditional illustrations would look like anymore, it’s been a really long time. I wanna make things with more of a human touch!
Haha of course this exists!
Hmm I’m getting some new paper today, I wanna draw some fanart.. maybe a superhero?? Or video game like Sonic or something. Who should I draw!?
I love them!!
Thank ya!!
Made some hand drawn game label asmr while fixing up these GameBoy games
ME TOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
I made a mountain of tonkatsu tonight for the rest of the week and it’s one of my best decisions
We’re all set up 🎉🎉🎉
I’ll be at PLCAF tomorrow with the Triple Dream Comics crew! It’s at the South San Francisco Library from 10-4 and it’s FREEEEE!! I really like this show, it’s a good size but pretty chill. More info at: comicartsfest.com
Thank you hehe! I’m a simple gal, I see an ink wash (at least I’m guessing it’s colored inks? Maybe it’s watercolor) sci-fi comic, I buy 😝
Ohhh this is not an easy book to get! I’m on the hunt for a cheap copy!!! It’s a quest now
Let’s say I instantly went to buy this for my sci-fi collection… is this the copy I want?? www.ebay.com/itm/20570307...
Woahhhhhhhhhh
Legend of Mana is my fav 😍 artistic perfection ahhh
Awww thank you, thank you. This one was VERY FUN! Thank you for letting me make something a bit silly 😁
Ohhh I forgot about this one
I really wanna do some alt covers again, it’s been a while 👀 I think this is the last one I did which was too long ago
When I was freelance I made the majority of my money from illustration work and just barely scraped by. I still overworked myself and it was far more stressful, so I dunno if I would do it again unless I had to
I’m really fortunate that my day job is four days a week. I still do overwork and burn myself out, but I try to be mindful and pace myself. If possible I’ll trade off days where I’m working more casually and days where I’m grinding to get lots done.
Reminder that this is tomorrow!!!
I’m kinda still in shock that it happened 😭💕
😭 It was really special, I’m so glad I went through with it. I did consider running away instead several times
I spoke at my old middle/high school over my bday week. It was equally terrifying and awesome. Some students gave me presents at the end which definitely did not make me cry at all 😭
I need all artists to know that using 3D models in your art is not cheating. Those free-to-use 3D models are literally there to make your life easier. Stop being so hard on yourself and just trace that 3D object. You don't need to be able to perfectly draw every object ever from memory!!
I remember this, it’s so awesome
It’s a flyer for our event with all the info I shared. There’s also the covers of three graphic novels: Armaveni by Nadine Takvorian, Steam written by Shaenon K. Garrity and illustrated by Emily Holden and Agent Cupcake by Katie Longua (oh that’s me) Mel Hilario and Lauren Davis.
Triple Dream Comics will be at the Cartoon Art Museum March 15th 3pm-5pm for a signing and meet & greet for Will Eisner week! We’ll be signing with @nadinetakvorian.bsky.social and @shaenon.bsky.social. We’ve all had books come out recently so come see em!
The museum is at 781 Beach Street in SF 💕
I got too overwhelmed for updates today but ECCC has been lovely, we even met some kids who already read Agent Cupcake and were all excited to see it 😭💕
