The world is so stressful right now so I’ve spent the night adding to a big swing pitch I’ve got going at the moment because making comics makes me happy and in these dark, worrying times I hope reading comics helps you find some joy. Art and stories will always be an emotional lifeboat.

I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre

theguardian.comI was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centreGraphic artist Rebecca Burke was on the trip of a lifetime. But as she tried to leave the US she was stopped, interrogated and branded an illegal alien by ICE. Now back home, she tells others thinking of going to Trump’s America: don’t do it Just before the graphic artist Rebecca Burke left Seattle to travel to Vancouver, Canada, on 26 February, she posted an image of a rough comic to Instagram. “One part of travelling that I love is seeing glimpses of other lives,” read the bubble in the first panel, above sketches of cosy homes: crossword puzzle books, house plants, a lit candle, a steaming kettle on a gas stove. Burke had seen plenty of glimpses of other lives over the six weeks she had been backpacking in the US. She had been travelling on her own, staying on homestays free of charge in exchange for doing household chores, drawing as she went. For Burke, 28, it was absolute freedom. Within hours of posting that drawing, Burke got to see a much darker side of life in America, and far more than a glimpse. When she tried to cross into Canada, Canadian border officials told her that her living arrangements meant she should be travelling on a work visa, not a tourist one. They sent her back to the US, where American officials classed her as an illegal alien. She was shackled and transported to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) detention centre, where she was locked up for 19 days – even though she had money to pay for a flight home, and was desperate to leave the US.

I explained it to several young teens today: imagine we wanted you to become more self-sufficient in the kitchen, so we decided to charge you $20 every time you got takeout. But also we have no food in the house, we won't let you go to the store, and also you don't know how to cook.

Brit comics creator Rebecca Burke, imprisoned for 19 miserable days by ICE, tells her story. I'm hoping she makes this into a GN.

Been chipping away at this in my free time, sort of a redo of a comm from a while back; i loved the character design and always felt I didn't quite do it justice in the original, so I wanted to use the character for style tests and this is how she turned out, think I'm pretty happy with it :')

BREAKING: We're suing to block the Trump administration from requiring artists who apply to the National Endowment for the Arts for funding to have to attest they won't use any funds to "promote” what the government deems to be “gender ideology." This is a violation of the First Amendment.
