Doodled This Monday Before A Water Science Lecture ^-^ It’s Low Effort But Also Like. Passing Period

Do you use a service to print your books & buttons, or do you press and collate them yourself? I really love your work and I'm curious how you approach self-publishing as a full-time independent illustrator!

Hi there! Thank you so much for asking!

All of my buttons are made via a manufacturer! They're often very cheap to have made. I 100% recommend this merch resource list created by Lily Grace if you're looking to get merch made and need a place to start! :) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mk9wl0LiYNStnXxwHAE6hd4-uzDMhfvnHsh819KlQeA/edit?gid=0#gid=0

As for books, I'm currently using https://www.grekoprinting-comixwellspring.com/ as a printer for my one little soriku book. I'm still a novice when it comes to physical print, but its a really nice option to have when selling at conventions! If you're considering printing an art book or comic book, I'd recommend having a digital option for accessibility, too! ^^

Making your own merch is still totally a valid option, if you're willing to invest in the resources to do that! There's plenty of good reasons to do stuff in house. I personally prefer to not have the extra workload because I'm already so bad about dragging my feet on the simplest of work tasks LOL!

Had the dumb question "do the Muse’s powers work through a phone? Like if (muse)Freddie started singing on one end of the line, would she and Grace be able to visualize each other in the same room because musical number logic???"

@stargazing-zani came up with the scenario/dialogue btw

On April 16th 2025 the US federal government has proposed to change the interpretation of the endangered species act so that it no longer protects habitat.

This is open for public comment until the end of May 19th. Please comment and make your voice heard.

Wildlife need their habitat. If the ESA redefines harm so that habitat is no longer protected, the implications for wildlife would be catastrophic.

geckos AU : Sephiroth + Genesis + Angeal (I said I would do it, didn't I?)

got sick with the flu last week so I designed AGS as side characters for Rhaco: Geckos of New Caledonia.

Introducing the Dead (Bird) Poets' Club!

Genos (Satanic Leaf-tailed gecko) is the club's self-declared leader, as he is also its founder. He's a theater kid and came up with the idea of carrying around bird wings strung up like costumes to perform roles from his favorite plays (mostly Leafless).

Seflop (Giant Leaf-tailed gecko) is the club's de facto leader on account of his actual bird-killing track record. At first this was accidental, but now he has a problem and they can’t make him stop... what's his deal with property damage all of a sudden? The hair is a cape of egret feathers. They're not natural... we think.

Anjil (Frilled Leaf-tailed gecko) was roped into his best friends' club and now acts as damage control, carrying the overflow wings from their bird-killing sprees. He is on good terms with Zekk and routinely apologizes for the club's antics. He also doesn't just leave.

I only had time for AGS right now, but as for Cloud and Zack-- they run a joint tailoring shop in the gecko village (feathers, leaves, & fur fashion). Clao does mainly feathers, so he's a constant victim of his wares being raided by the AGS club.

My part of an art trade with @melkychi!!! Yay!!!

Ruby takes Penny to Bubba Bubba Boba to try boba ♥
