(image description: Comic Con Revolution 2026 in Ontario, CA on May 16th & 17th; Artist Alley table A16 to find a steampunk artist who's most probably NOT dead )

CCR is next month! Can I get these new pieces done in time? Guess we'll find out ~v~

(additional shows this year include Long Beach Comic-Con on September 5 & 6; and LA Comic-Con on Halloween weekend )

also, just on a more serious, personal matter, my good friend (and super long-time member of this site) @sweet-suzume has been in ICU for the past week or so ~ just asking if you could spare a thought for her? it'd mean a lot. 💚

EDIT: Suzume has since contacted me again after 2 weeks; she's doing better now. Thank you for the sympathy during this time. 💛🦋

Various greeting cards I made last New Year's for my mutuals (I ended up doing 40+ in total?)

in lieu of no Inktober-style run, pls have this instead 🥺

Btw, the new Frankenstein movie by Guillermo del Toro is pretty amazing. Only rivaled by Guillermo's concurrent comment about whether he'd ever use generative AI to make his movies. "I'd rather die."

@KatMiLo is mostly on Cara now, but she decided to surprise me with a (very!) stylized take on Sally. Very deliberately going for a look that she felt was more true to how the character would look in her own mind.

It's... it's super inspiring??? I like how she leaned into the Pinocchio aesthetic (I often joke SSnPP is an inverted, steampunk take on the old folk tale)

Anyway, not dead by any means~ I've been busy with traveling abroad to see family, and a couple important studio gigs coming up. But I'm still busy-busy getting person work and projects done.

Hope you're doing well, however & whenever you're able.
