1/2 #ofthunderandlightning
Of Thunder & Lightning is about, in some senses, how two robot girls absolutely punching the lights out of each other is the most romantic thing on a barren corporate-capitalist earth. While I was drawing said book, I looked at my side characters, pointed at two middle aged women and said: “what if they had history and weird, pathetic energy.” So once I finished that book, I ended up drawing what became 60+ pages of strange short stories generally tracking our head Gardener Sif backwards in time, and her relationship with her job and the Flowers of Yggdrasil. And that’s what you’re holding now. A lot of these pages - of the original comic and these side stories - come from a space of wondering how being an “artist” fits in with hypercapitalist “industry.” What is our responsibility to others, and to ourselves? Corporations demand that we all both consume and put ourselves up as product. Their glitzy world promises smoothness, effortlessness. I’m not someone inclined towards absolutes. But more and more, I believe friction exists in your heart, your soul, and that’s where connection lives too. Even if you feed your lungs poison and your gut is full of rot and your bones feel like death, you cannot escape your humanity. So, despite it all, connect. Create. Pick up a damn piece of paper and draw. -K
realized i'm out all weekend so posting early! as of tomorrow, my book #ofthunderandlightning will have been out for 2 years, so i thought I'd share the rambly afterward i wrote for Flowers

#ofthunderandlightning If for whatever reason you really want to read me yapping, here's an interview I really enjoyed from last year ✌️
🌼⚡ FLOWERS: OF THUNDER & LIGHTNING is an 80p compilation of five side stories following side charas of the graphic novel, as well as some familiar but different faces.
Originally released online, I've spiffed up some of the old pages, and added some commentary and BTS bits!

jrpg magni & dimo designs. they'd be recruitable npc party members that turn out to be secret bosses at the end #ofthunderandlightning
my books came in!! flowers matches the original graphic novel in dimension and also ended up being an 80 page book :O the spines kind of match so they'll look good on the shelf together hehe #ofthunderandlightning
this animatic was based on a lyric comic i made of the same song. it was fun to reinterpret the visuals to work better for the different format #ofthunderandlightning
i took a storyboard revisions class in 2023 so obviously for the final i did an MV board of my girl creatures #ofthunderandlightning
song is doctor by jack stauber
finally finished compiling the pdf for my #ofthunderandlightning side comics! coming soon maybe :3c
also showing off how good the physical book looks!! it was a dream come true to have neon ink that really pops for the art <3 #ofthunderandlightning
To fight is to live, to fight is to die, to fight is to become something unknown.

You wake up. Give it back. Take the rest. Scrape me empty. (Me Me Me You You You)
You wake up. Something has been taken from you. Your emptiness blooms, insubstantial. Make a wish.

you're an idol. you're an altar. you're a monster.
you are alive.
#ofthunderandlightning
You wake up. Something has been taken from you. Your own eyes seem foreign to your gaze.
You wake up. Your heartbeat fills your hollowed shell with familiarity, and dread. You're a ghost in your own body. You are alive.
You wake up. You You You You You You You Something has been taken from (you). (Me?)
You wake up. Praise me. Worship me. Idolize me. Destroy me. Burn me. Grind me to bits beneath your feet. (Me? You? Me. I am still ___).
://rebirth [1/2]
you're a copy. you're a product. your self is not your own.
you are alive.
