about me :D

neurodivergent, queer and disabled artist!!

katie, 22 years old, MA/DC

disabled (POTS, hEDS, MCAS, LongCovid)

mentally ill (depression, anxiety, OCD, PMDD)

neurodivergent (autistic)

queer (asexual, bi or pan or something idk)

my artwork

explores themes of memory, nostalgia, and home. i'm very interested in the way objects can carry narrative through our experiences with them that lead to association.

i do mixed media work. i paint with acrylic mostly, except for doing house portraits in gouache. i love collage and image transfer, and dabble in printmaking as well.

recently i've been into making zines and little books!!!!

my art gets intimate and personal, involving much of my own memories and self in it

things i love <3

cats (mine is named Sequoia) (like the tree)

music (phoebe bridgers, laundry day, taylor swift, noah kahan, lizzy mcalpine, gracie abrams, lana del ray)

art (duh)

disability justice

crochet

a good muffin

the muppets

gay people

the language of flowers

tarot

flea markets (&trinkets)

going to bed at 9pm

my friends

playing the guitar

packing an etsy order

spirituality

worried that thing you put in your art or writing or game or music is too self-indulgent, too self-referential, too niche for anyone but yourself? fear not! you can do whatever you want forever. and you should.

#writing #art #music #games #things i have to remind myself of daily #anyway ive found those things you're worried about sharing are often the most powerful things you CAN share #i hope you write #<- i would like to replace that tag with something that is less conversational #it makes reblogs awkward #anyway good morning. i have so many things to do today but instead i am crafting a memorial to my partner's best friend in my fanfiction.

catalysts, protectors

#man those episodes #so many things put into perspective #like Simon’s role as a protector and his kindness and empathy and compassion and existence being the catalyst for the rest of ooo to #flourish #and Betty is a protector of Simon #I wonder if the last two episodes will explore more of her character? there’s so much to be explored about her giving so much of herself #to Simon but not thinking about what she wants for herself #do we get to explore her feelings or see her at all? will she have changed or learned to let go #I think there will be some sort of closure for the both of them #but at what cost #I am still crying over that scene with Simon’s memory of Betty and their song #my art #fionna and cake #fionna and cake spoilers #simon petrikov #betty grof #petrigrof #golbetty

dad issues

+

(I think they were all fundamentally affected by what they saw and just collectively decided not to share the upsetting details)

#dungeon meshi #aj art #chilchuck #chilchuck backstory stuff #sorta #comic #tw alchoholism #tw death #tw parent death #dont generally tag for death stuff but in this he straight up dies on screen so I thought I should #Uhh I think they all had extremely grim visions bc I think that’s sort of the nature of ghost attacks #I mean Laios’ was basically just him being like “I should’ve died no one would care if i died”#I think Marcille’s would be. Horrifying. Given all her baggage around death.#Tho iirc this would be before Falin’s backfired resurrection #But anyway the mentioning of his father got me thinking #Since at least judging by Laios’ vision #They focus on people who’s death you have baggage around #Especially since Falin wasn’t ever like. Dead dead.#And Chilchuck does mention his father multiple times #Specifically he mentions his death and how he died #Like it seems like that specifically is a notable memory for him #Like you never see him like “my dad taught me to do this”#It seems like he remembers his dad *for* his death #So I anyway I made an extremely grim comic about it #beabell

drawings from paleo expedition to dagestan, done right on the trip. sometimes messy when it was cold and rainy, but i won't correct it. i think it's cool to leave it just the way it was done, and not retouch it after. there will be more drawings later, but those will be done from home

#i need to draw for 2 museums at least to then send it to them as a gift cuz people there were so nice???? AAAA #and yeah im definitely doing back #maybe in autumn... who knows #barghestland #art #artists on tumblr #and #paleoart #???#in a way it is i guess #also i usually don't share things from my sketchbook. but these drawings hold so many nice memories #of clouds that hide top of the mountains #of sitting on a rock #drawing and seeing a scorpion vibing next to u (tiny friend!)#of leaning on a big cow and almost falling asleep on a field with her after the rain #of... forgetting the pain too #of not wanting to even talk about the wonderful time i've had. because it was only for me to remember #so much happened up in the mountains that i'll never forget #thank u big rocks and soil and grass and apricot trees i love you #...#paleoland #fieldbook_barghest_land

I’ve already said it, I’ll say it again, Mal du Pays is such a visceral and clever word to describe Siffrin’s Sadness. When I first saw it in game it genuinely made me pause like. Yes, it translates to homesickness. But it has the literal word for country in it. “Country sickness”. For a guy whose core problem is that his childhood, his culture, his country is missing. One could argue it’s a twisted pun. I’m obsessed with it.

#isat #in stars and time #isat spoilers #isat siffrin #isat mal du pays #isat fanart #my art #in stars and time spoilers #isat headcanon #not done yapping: like you meet mdp at a point where the Big Problem is the loops and siffrin's fear of being abandonned by the party #and then Mal du Pays shows up and it hits you #thats the core of every fucking issue Siffrin has #his country and how it fucked everything for him #his bad memory making him forget too much and making him feel like a horrible friend and making him think that surely #hell also be forgotten #because hes a bad friend and a mess and is missing half of his fucking life #he holds onto the party with everything he has but also feels an infinite amount of shame about it because Hes A Bad Friend #hea so scared to forget whats important to him just like he forgot his past #just #ough

Final Bug Fact:

The world NEEDS bugs. They keep the soil healthy, pollinate, control pests, and contribute to the worlds' ecosystem. By the end of the century, it is estimated 40% of insect species may go extinct due to habitat loss. Yes, that is very scary. But with even one beetle spared, one caterpillar rescued, and one Hollow Knight comic of all things, things will change. Because I know there's a lot more Dewi's out there than most people realize. Stay curious.

Thanks for going on this adventure with me. ♥︎

First || Prev // END... VOLUME 2 is Out.

Masterpost

Comic Thoughts and Pictures Below!

I wanted to put here how amazing and sweet everyone has been with this comic. I finished a 75 page comic in 3 MONTHS. I am at a loss for words. That sounds crazy and it IS crazy. But man was it fun. Even on days were I wasn't able to draw due to fatigue or business, I loved working on it from start to finish. And guess what!? This is my first ever FINISHED comic :D I'm so proud of myself. I know there's some things I want to change and the art is wonky in most places...... but I'm content to let it be. What an amazing summer adventure!

I'm hoping to post the full comic on another Comic website. I may or may not edit some of the art ^w^ So I'll let y'all know when I release it.

Interested in learning what you could do to help your local insects? This is the basic stuff. Maybe make some Insect Hotels if you have the time!!! And never forget to spread the word about bugs. They need our help just as any animal on earth.

Still Here? Well you can look in the tags for little lore dumps if ur looking for stuff like that ;)

#dewi's adventures in hollow knight #thank you all for supporting this me and this comic. Truly. It means the world.#And we finally get to see Dewi's Dad! He has that iconic scar on his cheek Dewi told Hollow about.#(He got it from a Barbed wire accident as a kid. But he likes to try and convince Dewi it was from a Grizzly Bear)#Conifer almost had a heart attack from the “Map of the World” haha. His wife was beside herself #The bugs were terrified to meet his Dad. But it was kinda inevitable to have the encounter with the Beast if Dewi was in the picture.#So they sent out the only remaining heirs of the Pale King to make a Peace Agreement. It went as chaotic as you can expect.#Quirrel has taken a liking to the bugs outside Hallownest. He finds them very strange and interesting.#Also Hollow does not like the sun very much. It's brightness scares them.#I also like to think Dewi and humans null the effect of the Hallownest Bug's memories being erased when leaving the kingdom.#Makes it more fun ;)#art #my art #Hollow Knight #hollow knight au #Hollow Knight comic #Hollow Knight fanart #hollow knight hornet #the hollow knight #hollow knight ghost #hollow knight quirrel #hollow knight spoilers #hk spoilers #Also my “full name” dropped. I have it in some of my posts but i guess this is a little more known

academy days

#jayvik #arcane #jayce tallis #viktor #league of legends #BIIIIIIG DEEP BREATH #HIIIIIIIIII TUMBLR #i feel like i’m gasping for air with how much yaoi i’ve been drowning in over the last few days #arcane s2 really destroyed my sleep schedule #i can’t stop thinking about these two #this drawing is meant to be like a sort of fond memory of jayce’s #hence viktors face being a bit hidden #since the details are murky #but where viktors body made contact with his is crystal clear #it’s also meant to be a moment where maybe viktor needed a moment to rest and jayce offered his shoulder #and even though viktors body needed a break his mind didn’t #so they sat there and talked and talked and talked until their minds were tired too #i love that tumblr tags are like this i like having the ability to share my thoughts for anyone curious enough to know them #my art #doodle tag

Is this loss

#memories of seeing your partner dying AND not recognising your partner caused by old age dementia this dog can't catch a break #i imagine this happens a lot max got pretty much used to it by this point #sam would wake up from a nap and not remember any of the things he said #sam and max #freelance husbands #tea art #i have many thoughts about them but can't form coherent sentences atm will share them some other time #i miss my wife tails #i miss her a lot

#ffvii #cloud strife #zack fair #zakkura #my art <3 #i will never shut up about that nibelheim hotel scene.#which one? all of them.#oh yeah lemme just watch over my friend and make sure he feels safe and comfortable while he's recovering from a twisted ankle.#and soothe all of his worries when he wakes up just for good measure.#and also ask him about his relationship status.#and when cloud's memories of zack finally start to surface again #he can't even remember his face because he was too busy staring at his hips.#boy...........

I don't see enough people mourning over the slow death of physical media. And I don't just mean TV shows, video games, or movies--which don't even get me started about how we don't really 'own' anything anymore. It includes notes, journals, and letters to one another...so much of our history is lost when we lose a password, a website goes down, a file/hardware is corrupted, or a platform disappears. History that doesn't seem important until you no longer have access to it. Physical media does a lot for memory recall. How many memories will we lose because we don't have something tangible to tie it back to? Something to hold in our hands and stir up those memories we thought were once lost? Sometimes I wonder what the difference between burning a book and losing access to physical media is when someone can pull the plug and remove your access so easily.
