December 21st, 2023 marks the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere - making it the shortest day of the year, and causing shadows to be cast at their longest due to the sun’s low position in the sky

A longer video featuring @echomary answering my questions about how UV stuff works! And you can watch me color with an absurdly fun colored pencil.

Yesterday we said goodbye to our big friend Baldr. I adopted him from a rescue in 2013. He helped me through my 20's and got the best life a dog could ask for. He had so many friends and adventures. I'm glad he isn't hurting anymore, but we'll miss him forever. I'm proud of how I cared for him. He was in great health for most of his life until his mobility got too difficult. He didn't have many bad days. He deserved all the good days. Rest in peace my big goob, we love you so.

If my decomposing carcass helps nourish the roots of a juniper tree or the wings of a vulture—that is immortality enough for me. And as much as anyone deserves.

I finally (got help) slapping Wordpress into shape and Runaway to the Stars is now releasing as a public webcomic! Thank you so much for your support over the years, and sticking with me while I'm slowly chewing my way through this book. I'm very excited to share this story! It'll be updating every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday thanks to the massive Patreon backlog. Patreon will continue to update as I finish pages, which happens on a sporadic non-schedule.

If you experience bugs with the site report them to me. Some things may occasionally break, as coding problems tend to be a very "whack-a-mole" affair; and I'm still getting used to the interface.

Apparently when you post a "link" post type on Tumblr it posts everything BUT the link! Hooray

Anyway here's my YouTube where I upload all my art videos for you to watch. Give me a sub if you like my stuff! 💖

A lil art business housekeeping announcement:

I usually do a monthly shop drop with new originals/merch, but I think I am going to go back to how I used to do it, which is listing a piece in the shop as it premiers. Patrons will always see stuff first (and have first dibs) and I'll still update the monthly mailing list. I used to sell this way, and I just get the feeling it will be better for business (my art practice is the main breadwinner of our household). Cheers! M

After 6 hours of scanning over 350 pages of sketchbooks spanning 4 years of drawing, it's here! The biggest sketchbook bundle I've ever released is ready for download.

Not all sketchbooks are perfectly coiffed and polished "sketchbook tours" you see on social media--here is the real, rough, and frenetic workings of an artistic practice.

Never before shared, most of these drawings have never seen anyone's eyes except mine. It's pay what you want, which is a screamin' deal for over 300 pages of raw art. I hope you enjoy the miles of silliness contained within!
