Little bit of C&O canal action. (Biked the whole thing once before, unfortunately only have time to go from DC to cumberland this time!)

Thank you for the condolences... at least we still have some nice state flags

Sidenote: I bought this variety letter sticker pack on clearance, sorry if you get the sarcastic sounding sticker. Trying to only give the sarcastic stickers on people with multiple orders so they know I AM genuinely thankful, just the sticker variety pack has one weirdly inauthentic variant

Sheet of semi shiny stickers paired up with matching text. Text is: you rock, thank you thank you, and geez thanks.

Fully and wholly unrelated to this convo, I don't know how to send images over bluesky DMs so imma post it here, but NSFW text in this medical nonfiction book is absolutely fascinating

Shoutout to a tumblr user's friend for snapping this pic also, since I did not have time to 🤣

Me standing at a booth thumbs up at a furry convention. The booth has variously sized prints of bugs, mice, and other critters.

Very special secret preview of my stand (minus the new prints. Mostly just seeing if the display stuff fits within their dimensions.

Meanwhile...

Two panels comic. The first panel, an adult rat sits in bed reading out of a book, while several mouse children are passed out around him.

Rat dialogue: and so, im the wake kf the 1971 Uniformed Sanitationmen (and women) strike, the city was pushed to implement reform...

Second panel: the rat smiles to himself as he closes the book, with a thought bubble that reads, "this thing's like magic. I'm never going back to picture books."

At the club

Two panels of a comic. Both panels feature an adult anthromorphic mouse in a dress holding a toddler sized mouse, speaking to a second mouse with patchy fur and a shrew. The background has a nondistinct crowd.

Dialogue: patchy mouse: Your plus-one is a cutie.

Deer mouse: thanks! He just loves EDM!

Shrew: He's short for 21+

Deer mouse: I think he's allowed as long as he's not on the floor. Like pets on the bus. And he's got ear protection. And I'm only letting him drink Bud Lite, no real beer.

Three panels of a comic featuring anthromorphic rodents, continued.

Dialoge:

deer mouse: ah, joke! That was a joke. Don't tell his dad.

Patchy mouse: where is his dad?

Deer mouse: at home with the siblings. EDM gives him migraines. He's over twenty-five.

Patchy mouse: home, unsupervised?

Deer mouse: my man's smart enough not to choke on legos.Legos.

Patchy mouse: I meant with the kids.

Compiled a bunch of comics for print, which gave me an excuse to draw some nautical creatures for cover art

A cover with the text "return me to the sea" in large orange letters. It is an underwater scene centering around a mermaid with an ornate scaly tail with her arm around a skeleton in a Hawaiian shirt as she reads a book entitled "Comix." Around her are various sea creatures both real and fantastical, including a large Nautilus, eels, sharks, crustaceans, and coral.

An underwater scene with a sunken ship hull with the text "contact" on it, followed by social media information. Around it are various odd looking sea creatures, including a Loch ness monster taking a big bite out of the hull, and smaller deep sea fish, eels, sponges, and crustaceans.

Graphic Design is NOT my passion but I had fun putting this zine cover together- for a compilation featuring Norm the Normal guy and Sparkalina the Sparkledog.

An image edited to resemble an old school Windows operating screen, using Microsoft Paint windows to display the characters and title. The upper panel features the following text: Norm and Sparkalina. The bottom panel features a colorful dog in a naturalistic forest juxtaposed next to an average looking chubby bald man fishing in a neon colored psychedelic landscape.

An image edited to look like a whole mess of tabs and internet browsers on an older Windows operating system, featuring cartoon animals, anime characters, colorful text, meme images, and more artifacts of the old web. The only clear text, towards the bottom of the frame, reads as follows: Comic Art by Jack. Special thanks to Cameron Askin and Anthony Jughes for helping archive the old web and make this back collage possible. Visit sparkalina's favorite wbesite: https://www.cameronsworld.net/

Open heart conversation, happy pride?

Two panels of a comic with no text. The first panel shows an anthromorphic mouse woman watching a rat man take his shirt off, showing scars on his upper chest associated with gender affirming top surgery. The second panel zooms in, she looks surprised as the rat man's abdomen reveals six other scars, lining up with what were once multiple nipples like you'd expect on a real rat.

Thre panel comic. First panel, the mouse touches the rat's chest. Dialogue: Rusty, I had no idea. The second panel they bashfully look away from one another. The third panel, the mouse gazes up earnestly at the rat. Dialogue: It must be hard to have a heart that sucks shit so bad... my uncle won't stop complaining about his one open heart surgery.

It's also Indigenous People's Day, did you know that horned lizards are nicknamed "Cheii," or grandpa, by the Navajo people? No one captures that better than one of my favorite local artists Daniel Josley, if you followed me for desert critters go check him out! www.persistenceinarts.com/paintings

A screenshot from Daniel Josley's Instagram page. It is a painting of a horned lizard reading a newspaper by candlelight in a cozy home.

Horned lizard, not a super rare sight but this is the first time I've seen one with such a nice peachy color

A squat lizard with small spikes on its back and a peach colored hue around the lateral line of its body sits eye level on a rugged rock surface.

Normal Guy & Sparkle dog

Under clouds and a rainbow, stands a normal looking middle aged man with a mustache wearing rainy weather clothing. In one hand he holds an umbrella, in the other he holds a dog's leash. The dog, who has dark fur dotted with a mix of "scene" iconography such as cartoon skulls, brightly colored swooping bangs, colorful arm warmers, and various star and moon shaped markings, is joyfully jumping into a puddle of water reflecting the rainbow above them.
