Biolumen Press (@k-sanzo.bsky.social and myself) got accepted into Cape & Cowl Con at the end of August! Excited to visit the Bay Area again. Thanks for giving us the green light @capecowlcomics.bsky.social 🤘✨✨ See you soon!
Nyakuza Noodle Issue #2 by @k-sanzo.bsky.social drops at #SanDiegoComicCon2026! See you in Small Press.
@k-sanzo.bsky.social has a new Kickstarter launch as of today! A major arcana tarot deck that centers on themes of mental health. It’s adorned with characters and scenes from their graphic novel WARHEAD.
I’ve been avoiding art stores lately… the void is growing (￣∀￣) #comic #ArtSupplies
I’m still a creative little gremlin most of the time. Hope you all are in good spirits.
Good job “dream brain” — this totally looks like something that would come from the ancient world!
We’ve got a live campaign on Kickstarter. If you love cats, cozy vibes, and iyashikei (癒し系) comics, then @k-sanzo.bsky.social’s DiscoCats will be your new favorite! 🔁’s are always appreciated! www.kickstarter.com/projects/kaj... #comic #indiepress #kickstarter #cats #癒し系
January 1st has come and gone, but he’s already up to the same ‘ol. Looking forward to another great year of drawing whenever, wherever, and whatever! ✨ At least I hope so.
Finally snagged the first two volumes of ゆるキャンプ in Japanese. Thank you BookOff.
This might be the most overjoyed expression I’ve ever drawn on Finn’s face!
Hey Los Angeles friends - I’m hosting a meetup! You have to DM me for the location. January 10, 2026 from 9am-11:45am ✨ Details in the images.
Filling in the pages of the last #ArtJournal of 2025. If you’re new to following my work - filling sketchbooks to the brim with chaotic and sometimes clever stuff. And there’s nothing I like more than the sight of a filled book! If you’ve got journals of your own please share.
Happy @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social to all those who celebrate! 🙌 See you again tomorrow!
Been carrying a lovely travel-journal with me during this trip to the UK. Such a great way to pause when I need a rest.
Touring through the London Transport Museum is highly recommended for those who love the history of public transport. Having a delightful day exploring everything 🚂🚉🚊🚃🚟🚋🚈🚌🚐🚎🐴
Every time #PortfolioDay comes around I wish I was a real artist. Anyway ✨ I’m JL Grillo, mixed media illustrator, comic maker, and pink rabbit/cat/fox. I live in Los Angeles with six cats, a dog, and a little dragon. Oh — and I’ll be at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social in November!
Sounds like a deal (screen-grab from an actual email that I received today).
I wonder how many I can snag before the end of the year!? @chibbutts.bsky.social @dreameleon.bsky.social @spiralflute.bsky.social @nitrousaxide.bsky.social @endy.nekomimis.moe @strflr.bsky.social + others that might not be on Bsky 💕💕💕
