Like many artists, I made my art blog tied to a different main blog a decade ago and tumblr never let me update that. So, I've made a new main art blog! It's the same URL as this was previously, A2ZIllustration, so I hope you'll go give it a follow if you'd like to stay updated on my work. ((This was arguably a terrible time to do this because I have a couple posts making the rounds right now, but when is it ever the right time.))
Thank you again for your support, hope to see you there!
I have been posting just an absolute boatload of BG3 comics on my new account, so if you're still here and that's something you care about go follow that blog instead!

Another reminder that I’ve moved blogs and will be posting all my art on the new A2ZIllustration page from now on! Currently queued up a metric ton of Baldur’s Gate 3 comic content-

Not to get sappy but I had so much fun in my first year of art fight, it was a great way to keep me motivated to draw, everyone has such cool and wonderful characters, and I was absolutely delighted with the people who took the time to draw some of my own little guys. I hope I’m able to do it again next year bc I definitely still have a lot of bookmarks I didn’t get to.
I'm legitimately upset that this cake tastes good because it was such a massive pain to make.
The cake sunk in the middle while baking, I had to make multiple substitutions, my ganache fell apart TWICE (I'm blaming the chocolate, even Ghirardelli APPARENTLY couldn't save this), I had so many dishes to do after all this.
But it tastes, tragically, very good, and would probably be a nice thing to make around the holidays.
Notes (very important)
• Bake the cake for 25-30min in a 6" pan
• halve the recipe for that pan
• if you don't use mint you can use 1.5x the amount of peppermint extract
• using butter instead of shortening is fine
• DO NOT use all of the frosting it's too much (use 1/2-3/4 of it)
• DO buy very good baking chocolate for the stupid ganache even if it kills you to pay for it
• DO use coffee instead of hot water for the cake, it's fine
• the substitute for whole milk is a 1:1 ratio of heavy cream to water
• DO NOT add the salt into the ganache if the chocolate is dark enough
• DO make the ganache a traditional way, heating the cream first, then pouring it in a bowl and adding all the chocolate at once
• IF you have the same problem I do, here is the trick I used to fix the ganache
Trying out this pinned post business in case people can't see my custom menu. Thanks for stopping by! I will almost exclusively post my own art here, in addition to a monthly post with stuff I've tried baking that month. My style changes often, as does my subject matter, but if you're checking this out then I appreciate it!

on a serious note regarding the wga strike and (as of 1:50 AM PST 7/13) upcoming sag-aftra strike, dsa-la has a fundraiser called The Snacklist which provides snacks and water on the picket lines here in LA. right now the funds they have will not last through the end of the summer, especially given the current and upcoming heatwaves necessitating more supplies. if you have a couple of dollars to spare it's a great way to directly support the writers (and potentially the actors) during this difficult time!
happy first sag-aftra strike in 60 years to all who celebrate.
if you are an enjoyer of media (which i will guess based on your presence on tumblr that you are) please consider donating to the snacklist (linked above) or to any of the following mutual aid funds that directly support striking actors/writers, IATSE and teamster union members who are also out of work and by and large refusing to cross the picket lines, and nonunion PAs and assistants (like yours truly) who are directly impacted by the work stoppage. everyone in this industry works unbelievably hard to bring you the shows, movies, webseries, and variety programs that you enjoy and every worker deserves a fair contract. any support you can give is extremely meaningful.
The Entertainment Community Fund provides emergency financial assistance to anyone in the entertainment industry who is unable to pay their immediate basic living expenses such as housing, food, bills, and healthcare.
The Union Solidarity Coalition has been formed by members of the wga, sag, and the dga to help cover the cost of healthcare for IATSE and teamsters who will not get enough work hours to qualify for their coverage this year due to their refusal to cross a picket line.
The Hollywood Support Staff Relief Fund (also run by the Entertainment Community Fund but separate from the above link which supports all film and tv workers) offers assistance to tv and film support staff and assistants who are not protected by a union and have been displaced from low or entry level positions.
Drive 4 Solidarity is an IATSE organized event in August raising funds for all union and guild members. Tickets are available for those in socal but donations are being taken as well.
Humanitas Groceries for Writers fund provides WGA members with grocery gift cards.
Green Envelope Grocery is a grocery fund for all workers in the entertainment industry regardless of union status.
