August 1st, 2021 Happy 5th birthday to my baby girl, Marvel. It is stupid to say a dog is my rock, but here we are. She helps me get through things that have been really hard for me, like sobriety and the death of my mom; she sits on my lap when I’m drawing charactersContinue reading “Five”

Warm Woolen Mittens
July 23rd, 2021 I wrote a post last week about how sometimes people get to my stuff after I feel like it’s had its moment.
