This isn’t about you. It’s about me. 8 months condensed into 1 minute. I ask for help plenty. Even when I scream, no one hears. I have to fucking save myself. Always. Maybe we should all start by saving ourselves. Then we might actually have room enough for someone else.

Are you a Qui? Get him and the Troupe as free wallpapers! Just go to my profile and click the link.

Aspa when she heard the results of last week’s bracket. (I’m too scared to tell her that Rox is winning this week too 😅😅😅) Check out more over at Troupe Headquarters, which you can find out about on my profile. Hope you join our tiny but mighty Troupe over there! ♥️

Who snagged the Golden Troupianship this week? RIOXIA!!! Troupe members rally to see who can gain the most new fans. Even switching tiers counts! It's all friendly competition, but the others might need some love too ♥️ Check the HQ link in my bio!

This might look weird, but... VOLUME 2 HAS STARTED! I'm SO EXCITED to share weekly comic pages at Troupe Headquarters again!!! 🤩 Sundays are for sneakie peekies before the comic goes live. I'm building a 4-8 week buffer, so join the Troupe if you can't wait! See you there! <3

Ever felt like life's just been one long, lonely solo mission? Yup. Same. Leaning on community is my new hyperfocus. The Golden Troupe aims to make the WWW fun again. Imagine a game where Troupe members "win" monthly. Who's in? If this seems like something you're interested in, let's f'in go!

Qui... surveyor of worlds. Masterful visionary. But also, tired of everyone's bullsht. If you can relate, you might be a Qui. Check and see which Troupe member you are here:  https://f.mtr.cool/knqawscgck

I had to jump on this trend because it's just... Aspa. Which one is the tiger again?!?? 🦄 Starting something new. If you're constantly battling enemies (time, responsibilities, co-workers...) you might be an Aspa. Check out more at CharReed.com for more!

I didn’t assume this was going to be easy, but I didn’t expect to break down crying 1 min into packing everything to leave. This space meant so much to me in the very short time I had it. It represented the beginning of my art career- instead of just my art hobby that always just cost me money 😔

I’m back with my babies for this week. It’s breaking my heart to have to leave again so soon 💔

I do have a couple of styles, more realistic (though I don’t specialise in photo realism) and more caricature styled. You can see more on my website: charreed.com/pages/pets

Love being lectured with a 19 year old dude (who knows everything) about how my joke post is sexist toward horses (and maybe women, don’t think he cared about that part?). Didn’t have the heart to tell him that my make believe cartoon horse doesn’t care about my own sexist joke or his criticism 🥲

Screw “we persist” We need “keep fucking going” now

Well, as you might have heard, the South has gotten slammed with winter State of Emergency storm events for the past two weeks. And as you can guess, my plan did not pan out at all. Any promotion, shares and the like are really helpful. Grateful in advance 🙏 (3/3)

I'm on the East Coast for the time being helping out my family for a while. My plan was to go to local area pet businesses and promote my Pet Event- where I draw live pet caricatures. (2/3)

I know there's a lot going on in the world right now, but (if you can!) consider checking out my pet caricature offers, I have sketches and paintings available: charreed.com/collections/... (1/3)

Welcome to The Golden Troupe: Where everyone is dramatic and nobody is calm. Morgh is one dead eagle if Aspa gets to him after this 😆

I’m on UpScrolled now: share.upscrolled.com/en/user/d61b... It’s still so small, it’s kind of great that the hashtag “comic” only has 300 hits 🥰 It’s app only atm, but it’s growing. It’s pro-Palestine, anti algorithm and has plans to incorporate creator payouts and having a web version! :)

Emoji vote: ▶️ Animatics & voice bits 🧠 Lore & story breakdowns ✏️ Behind-the-scenes comic process

If you’ve ever gone “this looks cool, but I’m lost,” I get it. Here’s where to start. Link in bio to get Volume 1!

I’m making The Golden Troupe the main thing in 2026. It’s funny. It’s dramatic. It’s animals with attitude in an ancient empire. You’re welcome.

This book isn’t perfect by any means, but I did take away some things from it that have been helpful to me. I only read it a couple days ago, but have been in a much, much better headspace ever since.

Commission a creature that feels alive 🤩 Pet portraits, fantasy beasts, or your own animal OC — I bring their soul to the page. Come check it out for yourself over at CharReed.com!

SO THANKFUL for this weekend! It was the single best weekend of my pet caricature business EVER!!! I did all these over the weekend +more for this week- but this is fulfilling work. It’s the life I’ve dreamed of for so long and all I want is to keep doing it 😭 Thank you, thank you, thank you! ♥️♥️♥️

Tom Bancroft was following me on Instagram??? And I wasn’t following him soooo… what universe is this? 😅 (I’m in awe 🤩)

Artists, get ready for gentle roast sessions 🫢 Tier 3 patrons get feedback in monthly critique videos — fun, helpful, and 100% kind. Join the Guild of the Golden Troupe: Patreon.com/CharReed

To make art *feel*- study relationships: how your pets look at you, how people share quiet space. That’s where the emotion hides 🫣

Chosen families, messy love, and loyalty that can’t be earned—only given. That’s the heartbeat of The Golden Troupe 💛

Our pets have a way of bringing everyone together 🐕❤️ Holiday portraits this week have been pure joy to create!
