I know what the word “womanizer” means but it also kinda sounds like something Heinz Doofenshmirtz would invent to make transitioning extremely quick and easy for trans girls

btw it’s fantasy, you really don’t need to worry about your world map making “sense” geologically or whatever. make that river flow backwards from the sea into the mountain.

Wait are you saying I don’t have to take plate tectonics ocean currents and mineral deposition into account when I make this map? But how will I know where the mountains with gold mines are, or what shores would have the best fishing spots? If I don’t map out this entire world in intricate detail, how will I know if this kingdom falls on a major trade route or is sidelined to the periphery of the classical empires?

man the junior quartet are just. they are so good. 🥺 re-reading the immediate aftermath of the yi city arc, i’m struck by how messy and unvarnished and openly the kids are grieving for a-qing, xiao xingchen, song lan, and the injustice of what happened to them. i objectively LOVE how open they are with their feelings here:

especially lan jingyi!! ahhhh baby boy you are so kind and good, please let me get you a tissue for your snotty nose.

anyway look at these very good boys feeling their feelings, processing them out loud with their friends, and seeking to do something sincere and earnest for the souls of two complete strangers.

Actually upon further inspection that shit really hurted my feelings

here are some illustrations i drew for my newest book, ‘Small Song’!

this book is about a young vaquita trying to find her way in a changing world. vaquitas are the world’s smallest cetacean, as well as one of the most acutely endangered animals alive today.

- LIMITED RUN!

- all books are signed and numbered

- 50% of proceeds from books sold during my vaquita fundraiser (3rdMay-10thMay) benefit The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society

i wrote and illustrated this book. at 60pgs, it was no small undertaking! (took over a year to complete). i did intensive research on vaquitas for this project and included a section in the book with more info about them and how they can be saved (yes, even with only 10 left, it’s still possible!)

Small Song’s story is playfully fanciful &brutally honest in turns. all illustrations are lovingly rendered in marker&inks. i’m pretty pleased with how it printed, too! i hope you will love it, also!

get yours here!

This is pure art.

For those curious, this was taken at the Oceti Sakowin camp during the No DAPL protests in Cannon Ball, North Dakota. The photograph is titled “Defend the Sacred” by Ryan Vizzions. I did not find the name of the subject on horseback.

Her name was  Marissa Blacklance. #Dakota38 rider, & front line water protector at Standing Rock. She was killed by a drunk driver in January of 2018.  Her mother is using this tragedy to make changes benefitting our community with the Yellow Scarf tribute.
