Some musings on activism and staying afloat in a horrifying world

Had a few friends recently confide that their social media and news feeds were upsetting and depressing to the extreme… but they felt like they would not be “good allies” if they unfollowed any of it. I went through this same dilemma a few years ago, and the thing that helped me decide what to […]

I suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder, and this year I’m looking into light therapy… anyway, I’ve discovered that buying LEDs sold as “light therapy boxes” costs, at a minimum, EIGHT TIMES more than buying ones sold as generic “LED Outdoor Floodlights,” despite zero difference in the light itself. It’s horrific and these companies should be […]

If anyone needs help tracking their art times and overall productivity, try ManicTime. It’s free and gives amazingly detailed data on all your activity. I’m using it to keep track of how long it takes to do drawings and it’s sobering to see how much time gets sucked away by “little” distractions like chat or […]

I made it into Anime Banzai!!! I’m so happy! Banzai was the first convention I ever sold at and it is so dear to my heart. This also means I’m going to be doing two conventions on back-to-back weekends in October… woof

This was a really fun week. I just went nuts doing goofy drawings without trying to tie it to some overarching goal or project, and I felt more artistically productive than I have in a long time. Never underestimate the power of letting yourself have a good time once in a while.

Aquatic Friends

Padget is in awe of the restocked axolotl keychains. Also please say hello to my baby goldfish, Padget, and my other baby goldie Chip in the background… I think this might be the first time I’ve posted them online!

Hey! I loved seeing you at Fan X, and I was wondering if you’re coming to the con in September too? I was on a tight budget this recent con but I’m saving up for the next one so I can buy more of your stuff! If you’re not going to con, I can always […]

And we’re live

This poor messed up site is now available to the public because I’m tired of waiting to finish the layout. It is at least usable, even if it’s not pretty. Hi everyone!

It’s official: I managed to snag a spot at Anthro Weekend Utah! Did NOT expect my waitlist sign-up to accomplish anything, but it did. So I’ll be selling cool furry stuff in July! I’ve been spending time with the Utah furry scene recently and it’s been such a great experience to be around other creative […]

Been drawing nearly every day for several weeks now… it is a strange feeling after several years of barely drawing at all. Whenever I sit down to do a drawing session, I get a visceral jolt of distaste as my mind realizes I’m taking it away from an evening of cat memes and video games […]

Nostalgia Time: ASOC

Someone reached out to me earlier asking about a webcomic project I worked on back in 2011. It was the first webcomic I ever worked on seriously, called A Series of Cats. I did the art and website, a friend did the scriptwriting and marketing. It sadly fell victim to one of my many mental […]

Marching ever onward to new social media trends…

I have an Instagram now?? If you prefer that over Tumblr… I probably will just use it for crossposting purposes. It seems incredibly unwieldy for digital artists but I’ll do my best to keep it updated.

Feathercats Generator

Today I made a quick randomization app out of some griffin bases instead of finishing my piles of actual work. Let’s pretend I was practicing jQuery and Bootstrap, yes. I’d love to make a breedable pets game based on these little cuties but it would be a LOT of effort.

Nostalgia Time: Cat Comic

This is the oldest comic I made that I still have pictures of. I was probably around 9 years old at the time. I’ve also posted up some pictures of my sordid artistic past for anyone who wants a good laugh.

Love Story Recap

On November 15th, 2005, a user named ‘Sinnfinity’ stopped by my Gaia Online art thread to bribe me for a kitty picture. Unbeknownst to both of us, that fateful commission was the start of an eight-year-long adventure of endless IM chats, day-long Greyhound bus trips, crazy ex-girlfriends, and continent-spanning long-distance relationships. Today, we share an […]
