I was in Jessica's studio admiring the ink work on this sketch lying on her flat file and she said, "YOU drew that."

I have no recollection of drawing this, looks like a park in France or maybe South America?

Anyway, nice to be reunited with this mystery sketch (she founded it in an otherwise blank sketchbook).

Starting another creative book for 2026.

Earlier this year I asked for recommendations after not really liking The Artist Way by Julia Cameron, and someone suggested Growing Gills by Jessica Abel. @autonomouscreative

Giving this a try thanks to @thriftbooks

Most offers don’t fail because they’re bad.

They fail because they require more marketing than the business owner actually wants to do.

If you're feeling stretched thin or constantly second-guessing your marketing strategy, this episode is your reset.

Jessica Abel @autonomouscreative joins me to break down sustainable business models, passive income myths, and why relationship-based marketing still works.

🌈 Rainbow TBR: ORANGE 🍊🦐🧶🧡🍑🦁🐈🥕🚚🏵️🦺📙

I’ve decided to do a rainbow TBR series throughout the month of June! I’m just looking at my shelves and through my “To Read” on Storygraph and picking books that have colors corresponding with that color. They aren’t going to necessarily have LGBTQ+ themes (though some definitely do). This is all for fun and I hope other people will enjoy it!

This week brought not only the new comic frames but also the signage system Alan over at @ycneo_studio has helped me put together. I got a few scraggly placeholders up for now but imagine lots more to come.
This week also brought another small but mighty restock I just finished processing today! Now I can head off for a #GoodShabbos

Lots of heads nodding in agreement and notes being taken during @autonomouscreative ‘s talk on “flow” yesterday at @pearlsteingallery. Some great conversation, art, and giggles in the gallery afterwards, and I got to meet local cartoonist @svaillocomx grad @xbelleandwhistle !
