Fellow artists we lost one of our own today: my grandfather passed on to the Great Art Studio in the Sky this morning. I wanted to share one of his final pieces before retirement, a self-portrait titled "Unfinished Journey," to honor his memory.

When I was very small I went into his art studio and asked him why none of his pencils had erasers. He told me he, like all real artists, never made a mistake. And I seriously believed that until I was a teenager and got introduced to kneaded erasers and thus discovered his ruse...!

Thank you everyone for a wonderful time at SPX! I’m very happy about the strong reception for Transformation into an Animal. I love indie comics! Indie comics forever! Now it’s time to take a break and show Captain Chris, my plush wolf assistant, his ancestors.

I guess I’ll have to necro that thread in a few days. As someone that is a both a highly successful comics seller at these shows and has given a lot of advice to newer exhibitors (including artists coming from the anime con context) I have a lot of Thoughts.

There’s been multiple versions of the Rosh Hashanah griffin, this is the first artwork from 2019, which was also sold at SPX 2022, and has a long history of online popularity. Griffins were an important symbol to medieval Ashkenazim and I’m singlehandedly bringing them back. Chag sameach!

I'm sorry I haven't been around a lot, I've been very miserable and in rough shape since I had a bout of food poisoning (???) in August. I hope this will pass and I can get back to everything sooner rather than later. If you see me at SPX please be nice if I seem off.

Hey, if you're coming to SPX? Do a favor to your favorite indie cartoonists and wear a mask. If you're traveling, please wear one on the plane. I got covid at SPX last year and I was sick for several miserable weeks. I spent October indoors. I can't afford to have that happen again this year!

About to relive my c. 2002 middle school experience of going to the local mall’s Limited Too first thing in the morning to buy the new Neopets plushies by lining up for the Neopets Neo York pop-up. Trying to imagine explaining this to 12-year-old me in a way she would believe lol.

Ok the Neo York pop up was really fun and cute! I got some ~cool merch~ (my fav was the print copy of the Neopian Times). Even standing in line for two hours people watching & seeing everyone’s themed outfits and costumes was fun in its own way. Sometimes the internet leaking into real life is good!

Thank you for indulging me in some Fandom Posting. Neopets is very dear to my heart because I don’t think I would be a professional artist today without the site encouraging me to stay creative as a kid. Now my drawing of my 25 year old beloved Zafara got to be on the wall of the official pop-up :’)
