It came up in conversation today so now it’s on my phone: here is a photo of baby(14) Rye cosplay (guess the anime.) I hand sewed the jacket off a pattern I made up, and yes the gold on my epaulets is puffy paint. Did yall cosplay when you were infants?

putting the finishing touches on a pitch deck @ryehickman.bsky.social and i have been developing for quite some time now, before it goes on sub 😈. here’s the moodboard i made during development

Bartender (wearing a local-brewery shirt that I also used to own but lost in nyc at last flamecon and still miss) to his coworker: your skin looks…radiant? Coworker: Thanks! I wear sunscreen every day! I want to age well! Bartender: I don’t. I want to die.

"i am not afraid to keep on living" just hits really hard right now

Book release day is HERE it's REAL!!! 🐟⛵🐟

Went with carrd! The new site is more “go buy my books” and less “look how pretty my sequentials are!” Which, like, I’m not a n00b any more, this should be fine. Right??? 😬 what do y’all think?

Today I caught up enough on my work after a week of either hugging a toilet or lying prone to feel…relatively unstressed! As long as I don’t focus on, oh, you know, the world! Really trying to be here, with Britchida’s art, right now:

Tfw it’s been so long since you wrote it, you’ve forgotten all the steps in a fictional ritual you created, even though the protag has done it twice already in the story 🥲

Currently inking characters doing shots, for an unannounced/secret shhh project, so I’m thinking fondly of the last time I drew that, in the Nether Realms anthology. I kinda miss these idiots, they were great fun
