- Reposted by ✨Shan✨Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.
- I heard they’re releasing a 4K version of Speed Racer (film) this year, digital and physical… All I know is there BETTER be some theater rereleases in them plans because I wanna see this movie large and in charge once again! MY EYEBALLS NEED IT!
- Have hobbies. Hobbies of all kinds. Lean into other interests and things you love because they will influence and help you as a comic creator in very surprising ways. Watching films, reconnecting with nature, doing OTHER art related things. Taking a step back from comics helped me get closer to it.
- Reposted by ✨Shan✨I haven't spoken about this publicly until now, but I and 4 other collaborators for Yazeba's have been in an incredibly exhausting and ethically dubious legal battle for over a year. I'm thankful that Rascal News has officially released our story.
- My best friend Lillie is going through a very rough patch and all I want is for her to be okay. If you have the means, please consider supporting her financially and or buying her comics!

- I watched so much YouTube this year, I’ll say that much.
- I watched ‘Knives Out: Wake Up Dead Man’ last night and the ‘Heated Rivalry’ finale tonight and to say I’ve cried so much in two days is an understatement. Oh! Stories dealing with religion and sexuality?? Two big things in my life??? YEAH! I’VE HEARD OF THEM.

- Happy Almost Christmas from my son!
- I wish I could remove and reattach my tits like lightbulbs. Because sometimes I want them hanging around and other times I do not.
- I know I’m not consistent with posting art on here, but I’m still making things. I’m just so tapped out with posting to every single social media account. The best I’m managing is posting to my IG.
- The gay hockey boys, Ilya and Shane, are keeping me going while I wait for my tried and true toxic vampire boys to return: Lestat and Louis
- My heart is so full! My book launch event (and book birthday) for ‘CLOTHES TO MAKE YOU SMILE’ will be happening January 13, 2026! I’m so happy to be having it at a beloved local bookstore in my city. Hope to see people there! ❤️✨
- Shane from Heated Rivalry means so much to me because I also crave my emotional support Ginger Ale.
- Attempting to revamp my website (my life)
- I’ve had two very contrasting career thoughts today: 1. What if I became a monster truck driver? 2. What if I got into art restoration?
- I love doing artist visits & especially speaking with inspiring students who love to write/draw! The biggest reward has been students of various ages sharing their comics, illustrations & stories with me. I’ve left each school visit energized. I’d love to do more if possible and if I’m able 💛
- smoke break 🚬
- In a rare turn of events, my cats have decided to chill and rest in the triangular space between my legs on this rainy day so I’m stuck here forever 🫡
- With my favorite snowy boy ❤️
- Another successful Live Drawing Photobooth session ✨🖼️🖊️ Thank you for having me bbgb books and inviting me to participate in Small Business Saturday in our city!
- Damn, never thought I’d see the day Virginia was mentioned in one of my current fave mangas haha
- Shenandoah Mountains sketches + cabins + road trip ⛰️🌌 November 17-19, 2025

- The past 5 years have definitely felt like I’m a baby deer learning how to walk in terms of my art career. I feel like I’ve been trying to find ways to get hired all over again, make myself known, survive and ultimately find what makes me wanna keep making art and stick around.
- Confirmed the local bookstore for my picture book launch! 🙌🏾
- Trying to get things put together for this new picture book coming out next year (tour dates, locations, gallery show, etc.) and I’m crossing my fingers all things work out! 🤞🏾
- My boys 🖤 (They have spotted da birds)
- Hell yeah NY! I am partying with y’all in spirit from over here in VA!
- Went and voted in VA this morning. Now I send my energy to you NY! Zohran Mamdani, take this!
- Discord kittens, reporting in 🐱
- I wish I could vote for Zohran Mamdani! I’m so hype for him! (I don’t live anywhere near NY)
