Comic #342 : Built different - Website links: Here Ok, maybe this is a bit too self depreciating but it's hard not to feel a little twisted with all your physical faults laid out in painful detail :P The most severe one I was born with anyway and has been causing me hell all my life, so nothing new there. Back pain ahoy! 🐻💬

Comic #341 : Romance Crimes - Website links: Here Romance novels are a slippery slope 🤭🥰

"Lessons Learned" - A personal painting I have been waiting excitedly to share for a year now 🐻✨ this was my last truly inspired to work on/complex artwork before burnout truly set in. My lovely patrons gifted me the time to make this back in Jan '23, just sharing publicly now.

Comic #340 : Imposing year of the dragon - Website links: Here A bit more sober continuation from the last year-change comic. Sometimes when you think you've hit rock bottom a deeper layer falls out from underneath you. I only hope that this isn't the case & that 2024 will have some lasting positive changes to my life & for yours too 🐻💖🐉

My annual expression study using the varied & lovely characters of my patrons 💖 I wish I had time to do more.

Comic #339: Just around the corner - Website links: Here!

Another extremely difficult to make memorial comic… I may not believe in an afterlife: heaven/rainbow bridge etc. but I would hope if there is any spark of Rio left, that he would linger to wait for Niko. Since they loved each other so much & left only 4 months apart💔

I hope you'll forgive me for doing a very different bear comic for this spooky season! I spent way too long on it, even though I'll never be able to group it with the others. Just like when I was experimenting with format last year xD

It is packed full of symbolism that is significant to me, interpret it however you like (just be kind)

Smile it's Halloween! :D

Time to be a Zombear for Halloween! 🪱🐻💀🪦

Comic #340: Hard to stay sad - Website links: Here! I've been feeling incredibly down in the dumps lately but the kittens never fail to bring me some drive-by joy. Crowley literally licked my face until the point where I was giggling because he was so determined not to be stopped. ---------------------------------- If you don't follow me on twitter/bsky the kittens may be news to you! From my sept 3 post, here's how I shared it: We definitely weren't emotionally ready to get a new cat after the passing of Rio… Niko however was miserable. Crying at night, being incredibly needy during the day. So we did end up getting him some company: Koshik (Khoshekh) & Crowley. He took to the kittens really quickly which is such a relief. They are 11 week old littermate brothers with wildly differing fur types Full of derangement and coffee beans.
