A sketch I did while we were watching Tiger King. started using a pic of Kim Shattuck (RIP 😢) but then tried to pull away from it and make it it’s own thing. #procreate #wip #digitalillustration https://www.instagram.com/p/B-pd1LDjIDF/?igshid=1lg4xkv8fx295

#hawaii #traveljournal 3 I always find it harder to finish up the end of a travel journal once I am home. This time I did my best to complete it all on the plane. That required leaving a little bit out but I completed it in a timely fashion. Overall the trip was magical and I cannot wait to return. I hope someday I have the ability to. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9F9ehUDsLQ/?igshid=tjjs1xkjhgj7

Grind Like A Girl, Chapter 4: Page 8 #grindlikeagirlcomic (weekly webcomic about growing up trans in NJ in the 90’s). When writing this comic I have thought a lot about what language to use. After going back and forth I decided to stick with terms that were used in 1994 when this is set. Authenticity over politeness I guess. So there you go.

An #ootd that I call “Working from home” So it is actually an Outfit of Many days. I read an interview with Mila Jovivich years ago where she admitting to buying lots of fancy pajamas sets. She said in between filming movies she stays home for weeks on end so she wants to still fill comfy and fancy. I love that idea. When I was living in Brooklyn a decade or two ago, I would often see this woman on her stoop reading the paper & sipping coffee in this silk kimono-style robe. And I would think, that’s luxury! I wanna be her some day. And now I am. “Don’t dream it, be it” — Dr. Frank-n-furtur. #illustration #doodle #sketchbook #fashion #morning #pajamas #robe https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw96Bb8h4k0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13w9igpm5lq7l

A sketch of Loren Gray. I did this because someone commented that my last post looked like her. It seemed like a funny idea to see if I drew her from one of her pics if it would still look like her. Only sorta. (but now I know who Loren Gray is 👵🏼) #portrait #doodle #sketch #art #illustration #lorengray https://www.instagram.com/p/BwmmiSfBdyo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vk17tiqvs509

Modern Nomads. A short story I did with the theme of “Home.” It was for an open call in an all-ages magazine a few months back. Full disclosure: some of the buildings our reworks from older illustrations (for a few months I was making a living drawing people’s homes and shops). . . #home #artistsoninstagram #journaling #comic #kidlitart #urbansketching #family #lgbtfamily #travel #californiazephyr #mexico #alameda (at Downtown Portland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv1yyBKhQSS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1v08l43i6vydr

100 Heroines Kiki A quick doodle I did of Kiki from Kiki’s Delivery Service, that I liked enough to photograph and color on the iPad. Kiki was the first movie my son really liked. I think he was drawn to it as there is no real villain just a girl trying to do her best. (Often external antagonists were too much for him to bear and he would cry or ask us to turn off anything with an evil character). We watched it pretty much every day for six months. I still love it though. I think that says a lot. #saltandfog100heroines #kikisdeliveryservice #ghibli #witch #digitalart #procreate #momlife #fandoms https://www.instagram.com/p/BvmLbIQBrti/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lpha13f7r26a

Here are some of my favorite panels from the first chapter of my graphic novel Claviger. I just posted the first chapter on my Patreon page at the any subscriber level (including $1 a month). That’s a full issue of comics for a only one buck a month. I will be doing so once a month with the future chapters (8 total) as I am currently building the graphic novel.
