Well, that WAS the hardest setting of this foraging toy...

NWAN 1 was on the bestseller list for over 70 weeks, and reviewers are saying that this one's even better. My story in this one features morgues, cannibal spirits, and the scariest thing of all - driving SK streets in the wintertime. Pre-orders now available! Nwan2.Com

Niece: Auntie, draw me a bunny!! Me: *brainrot kicks in*

A purple page of construction paper, with drawings of various Jax faces in purple marker and yellow pencil crayon, surrounded by spirals and eyes

My nieces have discovered the joy of drawing butts They have used this power and some sparkly pens to "tattoo" my leg

My leg, covered in children's drawings. One is a pirate pug, but the center drawing is a surprisingly pert and accurate butt

Visualizing intergenerational trauma:

An inked drawing in a semi-woodland Cree style, showing a Nuu-Chah-nuulth man in traditional clothes, with his hands on the shoulders of his son, who is dressed western style. Cracks run through his body, and lightning strikes everyone around. His hands rest on his daughters shoulders, and hers on her son's. They all have cracks running through their bodies

Happy pride from your queerest non-binary Auntie!

Alina, a person with blue hair, a loud hawaiian shirt with corvids on it, a crow-noun pin (a crow with the words they/them above it), and rainbows on their cheeks that their niece helped paint on

Alina➡️SDCC 1229@alinapete· Jun 21

Tansi all!! I'm Alina (they/them), from Little Pine First Nation! I'm non-binary and queer and love to draw comics.

It's part of how I knew Jellybean was a good fit for the flock - he LOVES napping on my lamp when I draw. He gets so calm being close to me but also being up high!

A view from under my drawing light. Jellybean is perched atop it and has his eyes closed in a content nap

Alina➡️SDCC 1229@alinapete· Jun 19

Really hard to overstate how important my flock is to my drawing process, especially when I'm inking very emotional scenes Nothing like looking up and seeing happy fluffy little beasties!

My drawing table, with a WIP drawing from the residential school story I'm illustrating

Pico is perched under the light, yawning. Jellybean is atop my drawing light, looking fluffy and happy, and Nutmeg is sitting in the lamp, warming her butt

Alina➡️SDCC 1229@alinapete· Jun 17

post the best picture you have ever taken of your pet (if you feel like it):

Pico, a green, red and yellow pineapple conure, eyes closed in delight as he sips berry tea from a bird sized cup

Merry and Pippin, two green lineolated parakeets, nibbling affectionately at each other's beak

Nutmeg, a cinnamon cockatiel, perched on my hand as we look out at a gorgeous sunset

Jellybean, a blueish green conure, looking contentedly down at the camera

Alina➡️SDCC 1229@alinapete· Jun 17

Cheese, mushroom fritters, fresh strawberries and Green Juice. Look at this forest-gnome-ass food

A big bowl of fresh strawberries, fried mushrooms and a mason jar of green liquid. No cheese visible because I didn't add it until the last minute

Alina➡️SDCC 1229@alinapete· Jun 13

TRASH DAY is here again! Join us for more #5ehomebrew #actualplay shenanigans! Starting soon! 3 PT/6 ET Twitch.tv/weregeekcomics

Alina➡️SDCC 1229@alinapete· Jun 12

Strawberry season is here!!

A fridge where most of the food has been moved to the lower shelves and the top shelf is an entire pallet of strawberry boxes fresh from Emma Lee Farms

FeeeeeFaaaaaaa

A shot of the Expo 86 ball/Science World, with vinyl siding to make it look like a giant FIFA ball. It's backed by a magnificent sky and the Vancouver skyline

I have been waiting to draw this panel for ages. Behold, Flatwoods Monster-esque nuns! (based on the main character's idea of what nuns look like, based on his brother's description of residential school)

A panel showing a closeup of a nun-like monster with a vertical mouth full of teeth, and another monster with a floating Flatwoods Monster like skirt and habit chasing a crying boy

Hobbiton

A mossy snake hide which has been appropriated by two green lineolated parakeets. Merry, who matched the moss, is peeking out of the hobbit hole while Pippin climbs up the side of the hill

Same as before but now Merry is perched on the doorway, looking smug

Quick little character portrait for @muskratjohn.bsky.social's new D&D character!

A cartoony French ragdoll tabaxi wearing a beret, a cape, a vest, pantaloons and a red sash around his waist to complete the look. He's twiddling his long curled whiskers like they're a mustache

Alina➡️SDCC 1229@alinapete· Jun 3

Not a single neuron firing anywhere in this shot

Two green lineolated parakeets sitting together on a perch. Both are staring blankly, their favorite pastime. Pippin is grinding his beak with contentment

Alina➡️SDCC 1229@alinapete· Jun 1

Anyway, he's officially a foster fail and we're so happy to have him! Welcome home, Blue Raspberry Jellybean!

Pico and Jellybean preening each other atop my drawing light

Pico and Jellybean snuggled up next to each other atop my drawing tablet. A little sticker of a blue budgie landing on a cherry blossom is stuck to the top of the tablet

Alina➡️SDCC 1229@alinapete· Jun 1

We brought him with us for xmas. He quickly decided that he was the best tree topper. He liked meeting my nieces and flying around with the rest of the flock.

Pico and Jellybean perched atop a silver star on top of the Xmas tree. Pico has stolen the highest perch because he's like that, but Jellybean was the first one to perch up on the Scary New Thing

Alina➡️SDCC 1229@alinapete· Jun 1

Finally, Pico managed to get him to snuggle during the day as well. (Mostly by cornering him and then gently forcing him to accept preening, since Jellybean would otherwise just run away) Slowly, they became buddies

Pico, a wet pineapple conure in a cage, drying out after his bath. He's gently preening Jellybean, who looks unsure about the process and the camera near his cage

Alina➡️SDCC 1229@alinapete· Jun 1

I have a confession to make. I've been hiding a huge secret from you all. His name is Jellybean.

A handsome turquoise conure on a perch. His wings are blue and his head and beak are black
