What's more metal than #chemo induced numbness and pain? That's metal AF. . . . . #cancercomics #comicsaboutcancer #cartooning #cartoonistsoninstagram #humor #chemotherapy #metal #digitalart #digitalcomics #cartoons #singlepanelcomic #cancertreatment https://www.instagram.com/p/B3z6NmDgYjO/?igshid=1apvchskdl1d0

Like EVERYTIME I see my doctor, or a nurse, it anyone, in any space in the oncology office, people start shouting about my poop. Chemo messes with everything, including that. So I get it, but can we discuss this privately? No? Ok, how about at half volume because everyone is listening and oh gawd why? . . . . #chemotherapy #cancercomics #comicsaboutcancer #cartooning #cartoonistsoninstagram #nurses #reallifecomics #humor https://www.instagram.com/p/B3nEdW2AOla/?igshid=sz75nxy8gh63

I know what this means, and I appreciate it, but also, what the hell does this mean? 😂 . . . . #cancercomics #comicsaboutcancer #comicsaboutmylife #comicsoninstagram #cartooning #cartoonistsoninstagram #reallifecomics https://www.instagram.com/p/B3m0GLAgWhZ/?igshid=igjq2uczhjfe

4 cycles in and I'm shedding like a cat in the middle of a heat wave. When it started, I buzzed everything down to super short. I'm glad I did because watching my full length fall out left and right would be a lot. Now it's like a game. How much will fall out today, Bob?! (Answer: a lot) I jokingly suggested I could sneeze myself bald, it's coming out so easily. It was amusing enough to me that I decided to make this comic about it.

(Language warning. I'm an adult, and I swear, so cartoon me does too) I hate #cankersores. They're a side effect of #chemo and they're just jerks. Total jerks. I've gotten them before, from stress, but those healed pretty quick when I use straight salt (the instant one forms, but salt on it. Right on it. It hurts like hell, but it freaking works. Dries out and clears up quickly can) on them or a canker covers. These chemo ones are stubborn AF. Luckily, I can get good stuff to deal with them, but I sure wish no one had to deal with them. Ever. They're the worst. . . . . #cancercomics #chemotherapy #breastcancer #cartooning #digitalink #digitalcomics #comicsaboutcancer #comicstrips #comicsoninstagram #comicsaboutmylife #blackandwhite_art https://www.instagram.com/p/B3DnhQTgt5F/?igshid=v6ra6fv2ymo9

Surgery is all fun and games until you wake up with a bladder full of IV fluids. True story. (Except for the sitting up part. I didn't do that, but I did, eventually, get help toddering to the bathroom) #cancercomics #comicsoninstagram #cartooning #reallifecomics #comicsaboutcancer #crosshatching #crosshatch #cartoonistoninstagram #blackandwhite https://www.instagram.com/p/B1p0YPjg_gE/?igshid=1fay4tt4bt4c2

Before anyone gets upset, I know folks in the medical industry work long, hard hours. I am thankfully for their efforts. I'm just amazed by how much time I have to spend on the phone setting up appointments, coordinating across multiple offices, chasing down insurance approvals, and generally coordinating my own care as a patient. It's like having another job sometimes. . . . . #cancercomics #breastcancer #medicaldrama #medicalcomics #reallifecomics #comicsaboutcancer #comicsaboutmylife #cartooning #characterdesign #americanhealthcare https://www.instagram.com/p/B0aKlUtgfpo/?igshid=wjv2sl0sxzmh

I'm getting a little tired if this roller coaster ride, let me tell you. Remind me to get cancer in a more convenient location next time. 🙄 Now scheduling...again: Last hurdle before treatment, hopefully. 🤞 (I know it'll be fine, but I'm still annoyed. You just kinda wanna get started, you know?) . . . . #cancercomics #comicsaboutcancer #comicsaboutmylife #reallifecomics #cartooning #cartoons #procreate #digitalink #gpen #medicaldrama #medicalcomics #breastcancer #procreatecomics #medicaldrama https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Fi_o0Ac0v/?igshid=zkip61ijjlf1

Taking a break from serious stuff to do another #drawthisinyourstylechallenge The original comes care of @lunarjokester It was so cool looking, I just had to draw my own version. Feels like I might finally be getting the hang of Procreate. #lunardtiys #characterdesign #dtiys #cartooning #cartoons #kickasschicks #procreate #digitalart #digitalink #digitalwatercolor #ipadpro https://www.instagram.com/p/B0C0QvYAW37/?igshid=rrlrkqna9wzh

My slightly fish-eyed, awkwardly 80s kitchen is about to become internet famous. You go, 80s kitchen. And you also go, super small placeholder text.

Just sniff the air next time you're near him. Just as little #procreate #sketch I did while re-watching Trials and Tribble-lations. #startrekds9 #startrek #worf #cartooning #sketching #tvshows #90stvshows #scifi https://www.instagram.com/p/ByUMUI6gjxC/?igshid=1o1o0mao6d2sn

I made my first sketch in #procreate! Been on the IR with some injuries, so I haven't been able to post as much, but there was no way I wasn't trying out procreate once I got my hands on it! It's nothing fancy, and I totally need some brushes, and a better understanding of the program, but it was a ton of fun to use! . . . . #sketches, #sketching, #watercolor, #digitalart, #misadventuremay, #characterdesign, #fantasyart https://www.instagram.com/p/BxtlcEGHMlq/?igshid=19fkthh4herm7

So I stumbled across #misadventuremay while looking at some other stuff on here and I couldn't say no. I don't know if I'll finish any of these, but the prompt sparked my interest, so I'll try to sketch out a few things out for it. This is our hero! Somewhat reluctant to accept her fate, (she's a blacksmith's apprentice after all, no one special), she will soon stumble off into her new journey as an adventurer! #characterdesign #sketching #sketches #cartooning #cartoons #comics #fantasy https://www.instagram.com/p/BxJpfutgOzm/?igshid=1qkn3xrjjtw6n

#faceyourart I think I could have filled one these entirely with unintentional self portraits made over the years. 😂 Instead I chose a mix of new #dytis stuff and a few random personal pieces. #memes #drawing #cartooning #Illustration #characterdesign #digitalart #artchallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw5SkDhgcRy/?igshid=1ho1bebhu69iq

Finished this #drawthisinyourstylechallenge from #flpdrawchallenge last night. Went for someone a little different and used #traditionalmedia in my #moleskine #watercolor #sketchbook. (I used too much water and bubbled the page though 😓) The original was just too cute to pass up.
