I've started using my printer and a vinyl plotter to make my own stickers! They are turning out SO good. All of them except the skull have holographic variants, too (the skull has its own special spore-like sparkly effect... really fuckin cool).

Alright here's my #artvsartist #artvsartist2025

Strange year for me in terms of art. I made fewer pieces but I experimented and learned a whole lot. Hard to pick a favorite. Really excited to see what I'll make in 2026!

Dreaming about Big Snow… #karine #tav

Hello. I need a Karine voice actor. Very low/zero pay right now, but for the right voice, many future paid opportunities will arise. NO VA EXPERIENCE NECESSARY: for this character, natural realism and a wide emotional range is needed (no “character voices”). Acting experience a plus. No terfs.

Signing and numbering copies of Coelary Blood & Beholden for orders today. I can’t believe I’ve sold over 400 copies!

watercolor painting of a bunch of mushroom-shaped houses built upon a bunch of broken slate. a big communications tower full of fat wires sits right alongside the town. full lore text for the picture: What started as "Anomalous Electromagnetics Research Station - Cliffside" (AERSC) became the town of Aersc over the course of a few decades, not only as the center's location became increasingly important for the research of environmental anomalies, but also as an important hub for communications and as the sole access to the nearby mountain range, where mining is common. It was selected as a place for AEE research due to its favorable location against a high cliff, which provides both access to a large atmospheric distance, and shielding from the sun's rays for half the day, allowing for longer periods of untainted atmospheric data (primarily EM readings and gravitational anomaly readings). The slate cliffside is dense, rocky, and devoid of most plant and animals. Steady misting rain is a constant feature, and the "mushroom" style adobe-ash buildings are constructed deliberately to allow easy runoff of water and to prevent pooling. Food is primarily grown indoors and in hand-dug caves inside the cliff via hydroponic fungus farms, supplemented by trade and shipments of plants and proteins. The chimneys in each house are directional to prevent blowback from sudden drafts coming up or down the cliffs.

Watercolor, rapidograph, acrylic paint pens - The cliffside town of Aersc is constantly rained upon, so the adobe-ash "mushroom" style structures are built to prevent pooling water. This town is important for researching electromagnetic anomalies, and adjoins the only access to the mountain range.

Shop — Coelary

In about 3 weeks - November 17th - the Coelary site and shop will be going down for an indeterminate amount of time while I look for a cheaper hosting solution. Unfortunately, SquareSpace is beyond my budget this year. If you want anything from the shop, get it now!

Bonjour Dimanche! Extrait de planche, dessinée en début d'année

Hello sunday! Extract from a comics I drew early this year

The lockdown provided me the kind of mental space I needed to finally finish Coelary book 1. I have barely made the same kind of headway on book 2... but I think that's about to change
