Hello. I've been on this site forever because I like sharing my silly drawings.

Currently I am into drawing ugly mermaids. I think they're funny. I'm drawing them messy on purpose because I want the drawings to look sorta wet and drippy and I like textures. Goth mermaid and her friends live in Tampa Bay. The others live off the coast of Naples. I'll think of tags for it eventually.

I LIKE GETTING COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS AND CRITIQUES but remember they're just cartoons

I used to draw Good Omens fanart (miss doing that) and you can see it here: www.tumblr.com/hollow-head/tagged/mygoart

The really really long Good Omens comic is here https://www.tumblr.com/hollow-head/187225255259/

I've been on a fanfiction binge the past couple weeks after not reading any for a while.. I read 'names in history' by lagaudiere, which is very well written and includes this line that made me laugh out loud (was posted in 2019): “You worry too much, angel,” he said with false bravado. “It just isn’t their style. Instant vaporization? They’d go for something more narratively fulfilling."

and I also recommend 'the last test and proof' by the same author, which is funny and narratively fulfilling altogether and features a couple really good and Pratchetty plot devices that I love but won't spoil.

I haven't had time to go to pottery for a few months, but I did make another one of those hanging planter demons - a generic one this time. I forgot the name of the artist on twitter who sculpts faces like this who I sorta copied. It came out cute, though.

tbh my biggest problem with go3 is that aziraphale and crowley do stuff that affects the plot and actually makes a difference in the story #notmygoodomens. my ineffables do NOT save the world, they are there while the world is saved

you’ve taken the two most useless beings in existence and you made them make a decision. look at them. they’re suicidal now

the line between making your character the messiah and making him the demiurge--actually really thin.

Thank you for your fix-it comic, and for all of your comics really - including your mermaids. I'm lucky enough to own a copy of The Apocrypha by you and I pull it out and read it at least once every two months. It's so funny and so smart and you have such a love for these characters and it shines through in every line. I just hope you feel loved and appreciated even though the finale was mismanaged and pretty bleak.

Also - I went looking for your Crowley's flat comic on AO3 and couldn't find it. Is there any anywhere I can still view it? It was lovely - like all of your work.

All the best!

I was tearing up reading this and then I got to the second paragraph and was like loooool I did draw a comic of them fucking on the ceiling, didn't I.... I took it down a couple years ago because I felt embarrassed about it. Some of the art I'm really proud of but some of it I decided I didn't like any more.

I can dm you a gdrive link to a folder where I have the image files, and I downloaded the archive off ao3 too, if you still want it. It's a free bonus comic to go with the book! Thank you so much for the support, truly.

i just wanna say that i really loved the go3 fix-it ending comic you posted. it’s so perfect. it just reminds me that the greatest thing about this book/show has always been the fan content. thank you!

I want to talk about my history with Good Omens fan content. I read Good Omens at a pivotal point in my teens, about 2 decades ago now. It shaped my sense of humor. It is the book against which I judge all other books. It was instantly my favorite. My friend who lent me the book and I had a running joke about me being a demon and her being an angel. After school, I went to the public library and hopped on the computer and tried to find out if there were sequels, other works by these authors together, anything. That’s literally how I discovered fan fiction. I read a couple but there wasn’t much the really hit the mark for me. (And I never liked how the book fandom drew the characters, and I didn’t ship the book characters anyway.) So life went on and I read a lot of Terry Pratchett. But when the show came out — it was like a Cambrian explosion. The characters were a little different, but their story was so beautiful. The greatest love story ever told. I love what Michael Sheen and David Tennant breathed into their characters. Suddenly everyone was drawing and writing about these guys. There was so much fan fiction I could be picky about it. And the community was full of such smart funny people. It really helped me get through 2020. It’s just a pity that the people in this world with the power to fund art don’t seem to appreciate it, or don’t bother to engage analytically with the text in the way the more clever fans do. But the characters will live forever. They walk in eternity. They’re right up there with Sherlock Holmes and Faust and Hamlet and Peter Pan. If I were a better artist and I lived in a world that valued great story telling I could spend the rest of my life drawing them the way that some people are able to make a career out of drawing Batman or Star Wars or any of the other perpetual IPs. I’ve wanted to make a Death of Discworld as the anthropomorphic personification of Death of the Author joke for ages, because I’m a nerd, and also because it is a quintessentially human thing to keep meaningful stories alive, keep spreading and growing them beyond the lifetime of whoever wrote them. I like that they called Crowley an artist. (even though he's really more of an engineer. he can be both.)

This is a really funny movie, you should watch it. Don't let the one-man-production low-budget art style throw you, it works with the film.
