Hello all!

I’m Nicole (a.k.a. "Aortic Inkwell") a half-Argentinian artist, lover of ink and OCs. I currently reside on the East Coast and spend my time working on illustrations and comics.

More info below~

I have a couple webcomics up on Webtoon Canvas.

“Flimflam Flock" - A silly comedy/slice of life series about a found family of plague doctors and their peculiar antics. (Inspired by mid-century modern cartoons of the 40’s-60’s.)

"Somnia" - The titular dreamer, “Somnia", wanders both the waking world and the dreamscapes of REMST in order to find meaning in their life. It is also Somnia’s job, along with the help of their friends, to keep at bay those who would do harm to innocent dreamers who find themselves stranded in the realm beyond sleep.

I do enjoy dabbling into fandom stuff, just not the drama. 😅 So mainly this blog is to post art, share doodles and reblog stuff I like. I don’t have the mental bandwidth to handle a side blog currently so apologies in advance. I’m also re-learning the culture of this site after having been gone for years.

I created a GoFundMe in order to raise funds so I can either retrieve my belongings from Oregon and move them to New York or pay for another year in rent on the unit it’s stored in.

Please share if you can! 💖

Thank you!

I have until July 1st to raise $1100 for the years rent on it so any help is greatly appreciated!

Oh, to be a little kitten who just got vaccinated and then taken to a high-end restaurant and tasted the best food the chefs could offer and then fell asleep in a basket.

Listings for the books are now closed! I’ll be placing the order tomorrow and pray they arrive soon! 👀💖

"Scam" you mean people are fighting back against housing discrimination??? I don't think these people know what the word scam means

Scams are designed to trick someone into giving up money based on lies. This is just.. asking for information then legally enforcing the law??

Fuck landlords

"Are you illegally discriminating against disabled people?"

"Yes."

Only a handful of preorders so far so they will be closing earlier than planned. 🥲

May 30th will be the last opportunity to preorder a physical copy. I won’t be making any more copies for a long while after this.

[aortic-inkwell]

A mini sketch will also be included with every preorder.

My piece for Penstore Talents. I sent a version with the name box, but for this version, I've drawn over it since it's taking quite a lot of space. Also, the last time I finished (or even colored anything) traditionally was almost 10 years ago, so I'm super proud (and surprised) that I even managed to finish this.

Anyway, you can spot this piece from Stockholm metro this spring! Keep your eyes open!

Not to sound like a decrepit, rambling corpse about it, but back in my day Word used to be a pre installed program that came with your computer, if you were running Windows.

No subscription. Just program.

On your computer. You got to use it forever and ever and never had to worry about it going away.

Because it was physically on your computer. As a program. That you actually owned. Not because you got it separately, but because it was a standard inclusion with your computer.

I'm sorry but I'll just never get over it. I remember when companies cared about their products being usable out of the box. I remember when our things belonged to us.
