Ah yes, the age old debate after EVERY convention: will I make it home today or not? (If you’re waiting to hear from me, this is why.)

My first illo/lettering Remarque for beyond real! 💖💅🏻😌

Going into convention weekend, thinking about every meal I eat while the new diarrhea parasite exists, like:

I found my original ID badge from when I used to work and assist manage a Hot Topic. On the other side of my badge, I had a million of the L P stickers with skulls-- any other employees know what those were? I can't seem to recall the purpose. (Also, I worked there much longer than 5 years, RIP.)

My connecting cover for #thewalkingdeaddeluxe 143 is still available for preorder until the end of the month, July 27th, out August 19th. Andrea was always a character I enjoyed seeing development in the series, so this cover was special to me to draw/memorialize my horse nephew, Axel.

mine literally says

Happy #Maythe4th. I am so grateful for all of my editors, collaborators and most importantly, fans for the work I've gotten to do for Lucas Film.

I'll have the boys at Wonder Con this weekend!

WONDERCON THIS WEEK?!????!!!

Join me this weekend at the Anaheim Convention Center, Friday, Saturday and Sunday for my first Wonder-Con! I will be at my booth during exhibit hours, as well as 3 panels I’m very much looking forward to with @babsdraws.bsky.social, Tini Howard and @sarahgailey.bsky.social!

Trying not to chuckle over these two near and dear to my heart projects I've been working on, displayed on my screen publicly in the airport. My range... is ENDLESS.

I really forgot for a hot minute there that the now 6 YEAR anniversary of the soundtrack to Birds of Prey (2020) BOPS so fucking hard. That marketing/music team knew EXACTLY what they were doing. Art from me ‘20 - ‘25! Psst: Sirens: Love Hurts by Tini Howard & @babsdraws.bsky.social is out NOW! 💖🫡

Here’s a free heated rivalry bg for your phone that I drew! If you want Ilya, subscribe to my Patreon! 🫡👀 (We’re doing the one and only @babsdraws.bsky.social GC Sirens next!)

But, Liana! I thought you were blonde! WELL! Some folks say yolo, so I bit the bullet on my baby blues and my grandma apparently really loves it! (Photo with @falstin.bsky.social!)

Where to find me IRL: I have been spending a lot of time on the convention circuit as of lately. It’s given me a nice reprieve from working at my desk 24/7 and allows me to meet folks again, sell my comps, and get out of the house/studio. I’m so grateful to Galaxy Con!

I would trade stickers for a pocari sweat at dragon con! (I think the vendor is on the 2nd floor!)

I’ve heard Bill Withers on shuffle driving across lake ponchatrain, leaving San Jose and running around Memphis just in the last month or so. Things are bleak, but I want to remind you that artists exists to tell you that we will make it through. “Then I look at you…”

Did you all catch Timothy Zahn, Chris Sprouse and I on the Star Wars panel this weekend? Thank you to who carried us too, a walking (running) Star Wars knowledge, Jonathan.

Damn, wish i knew the five year foreshadowing of this: 1) I would aesthetically dress exactly like Mariko AND Rem. 2) @barkmouchard.bsky.social would be at a record store with me IRL in the future, just like in the panel. 3) I am following my dreamssssss a la Mariko. This was drawn in 2020!
