I know this askblog has been pretty quiet, mostly because college, adult life, and other projects have been taking up my time. I think it’s about time I give Barterbirds a proper send off.

I ran this blog for about two years, mostly as a way to give some of the positivity and optimism I didn’t have in my life at the time. Running Barterbirds helped me grow both artistically and personally and I want to thank each and every one of you who ever sent in an ask, a like, or even just scrolled through on a whim. I’m glad my silly little story about a trans lesbian merchant eagle resonated with so many people.

I’ll be around @kazeryve and @kazeryveart as I shift more into original stuff. May we meet again! Safe travels, my lovely patrons! 💕🐤

Flameheart and Alicia discuss the repercussions of being a childhood martyr.

I know I’ve been silent on here for a while, but I wanted to revisit this blog for my comic class! Introducing: panel layout and word balloons.

I hope you’re all holding up and taking care of yourselves in these scary times.

Stay strong, fledgelings! 💕🐤

Each fight gave me a scar and….thankfully i came on top with what I've been given” “now that i look back. I can’t imagine how i made it out by the skin of my teeth”

Seen a few people doing this so I thought I’d add mine to the pile! Lil content for ya. as a treat. I most likely won’t explore Lucky as a character, but I’ve had him as a concept for a while now! Once again, I apologize for the slow patch, but this school year has been pretty demanding. Having said that, my inbox is pretty barren right now, so feel free to drop an ask!

Aesop leaves to clear his head.
