This is a very good visual for how talking about artists helps us. If you’ve commissioned, bought from or worked with an artist, please talk about it. It helps us a lot.

Never forget, fellow struggling cartoonists

There was a time that this was basically kind of a job

I feel like there's a massive shift in the world, and I'm not sure how fast or slow it will change our lives but it's happening

I haven't been on here for a while,but yeah so I'm finally settling in a bit at my new dayjob. And might I just say that I'm not sure if americans know this or are aware but let me just say anything that's happening over there is greatly making waves all the way here in Asia. It's certainly...A LOT.

Yeah! I understand….sometimes guidances from another person might help in those areas

I feel the same way about you!! 😭 i feel like we’ve watched each other’s creative journey for years now!!

You too?! I know too many of us who went through this !!!

I was also burnt out to crisp for a while and have been drawing a lot again since 2023 but since then the areas ive been lacking in have been more apparent to me

In all seriousness i feel like i do need legitimate guidance on some areas…i keep hitting a wall on improvement and it bothers me sometimes

I know im an artist by profession but dear god drawing doesn't actually come naturally for me I try and work really hard all the time!!

I feel like it's been a slowburn of the perfect circumstances to lead us here

I WUB U!!!

Chan's power....

The way i keep seeing everyone draw on if makes me want one :((

That is to say: I don’t have a lot of power nor resources but if any of my american friends need to talk im always here. Specially if you have my discord, just nudge me any time.

The american news has been doing a good job at making me lose hair

If you’re somewhere in east asia like japan that doesn’t have tikoy/nian gao, using ur leftover mochi blocks from new year is also fine! Just cut them into strips!

If you’ve never been a fan of plain tikoy in egg coating might i suggest tikoy in lumpia wrapper with cheese and sesame sugar coating. It might just change ur mind about tikoy!!!

I wanted to respond to everyone’s replies but for some reason bsky cuts out on the notifs to some extent. I hope you guys had a good CNY/LNY this week! Happy new year i love you eat some tikoy

Thank you Gabe 🥹 it’s insane how the world changes so fast. But im glad we’re still here

Thank you for liking this! I sold out on these riso prints recently at an event me and my friends put together. I really appreciate it

Ahhhh tristan 😭thank you!!! being off twitter for years really made me soft! but im glad ur here too

I’ll try tumblr again too. But if anyone wants to make friends here I’d love to get connected and maybe my nerves will calm

Distraught that the internet is actually terrifying for me now when I’ve always posted art on it since web1 but we try again

Idk what it is that’s scaring me from posting art on something close to twitter again but hopefully I’ll get past it
