Not All Wounds are Visible

Totally missed my original prediction for having the drafts up.

Life has been... However, I haven’t stopped making new pages and eventually I’ll get to publishing the drafts on Tapas or something.

I draw everything pencil-and-paper so uploading is just one spoon too many.

“But I love you! Your pain loves you and wants you to be safe!” -Sami :-)

Isolated images from my upcoming comic. I’m hoping to post it at the start of March. It’ll be in its “raw” form. These are an example of “the vibe.”

I’ve been working on a graphic novel for the past few months. So far I’ve completed about 110 pages. I’m planning to release some finished chapters (like 2.5) this year.

The content is some pretty heavy stuff. It’s an avant-garde autobiography horror with whimsical cute artwork. Working Title is “Taste of Me” unless I change my mind by the time its all complied.

A peak into a project I’m working on. It’s pretty heavy stuff so I’m not completely sure how I’ll go about posting it. Though I plan to have at least the first two chapters trickle out at the start of 2023.

I’ve been silent for a while. I’ve been so tired these past couple months, but slowly I’m allowing myself to rest. I hope to make a comic about this experience as well…

I don't know if your PTSD comic is ok to reblog or not, but I just wanted to say as a survivor of abuse myself your comic really made me feel seen and I'm glad you're taking the steps to recover! You have my best wishes

Yes it is ok to reblog! Thank you for asking :) I’m glad I was able to validate your experience!

Art I did for NPCs of my first Homebrew Campaign. It ended last year but the friendships and memories live on! (Bonus points for those who know my influences!)

Forgot to send this out last month, but it’s always relevant.

Eyyy its Mental HealthAwareness Month It’d like to share a bit of my story and also share how painful it is to get to and be “better.” Refections on how I’m betraying a younger self and how sometimes I grieve the “comfort” I felt when I was still sick(er).
