YESTERDAY WAS A VERY GOOD DAY. LadiesCon was SO COOL. The vibes were honestly immaculate. The Boston indie comic artist community is a chill space full of kind and generous weirdos.

Special shout out to those who came to my table to tell me that they read Little Death Vol 1 and enjoyed it. Thank you SO MUCH. That seriously means the world to hear. I started Little Death to create my first indulgent work of horror fantasy fiction, far away from the self-censoring impulses that plagued me in earlier original projects I tried to do. It makes me feel genuinely uplifted to learn that I’m among kindred spirits in dark fiction.

Pics of my table! Thank you to Comicazi for the generous amount of space!

Pics of my small but cherished LadiesCon haul, which includes: a portrait of Divine, Paradigm Shift Vol 1, I Am Not A Dog, my roommate’s cat, and Frankenrocker Wine. GOOD.

Divine portrait: Alex Kittle

Paradigm Shift Vol 1: Dirk I. Tiede

I Am Not A Dog: Heide Solbrig

Frankenrocker: Roel Torres

I also bought the Frankenrocker poster. It is awesome. The wine I bought outside LadiesCon from the local wine store. It is also awesome.

I’m really embarrassed that I didn’t catch the name of the artist who gave me the glittery sticker, so if anyone knows them please lmk. They were very kind and this sticker is so cool!

Do you have any other Boston hot spots/tips? -college student who thinks of your drawing about walking through Boston that's actually of Providence during the winter every time I cross the street

LMAOO I'm glad u know the deep lore of that drawing.. providence is basically like a toy version of boston thats why theyre functionally interchangeable.

boston hotspots... idk I'm not really a city tour guide type like i dont eat out very much and also its been 5 years since I've lived there now so idek if I'm up to date. but here's a couple off the dome:

my favorite comic store (possibly of all time?!) is Comicopia in Kenmore Square! idk if they still do but for a while their claim to fame was they had the biggest selection of manga in the state. their owner is a math professor at one of the colleges around there and their staff is consistently lovely. everytime i visit the city i make a point to swing by and i guess now they have a yaoi expert? LMAO which i love

i used to frequent a lot of local comic/games cons in boston and I kinda miss it. MICE, Ladiescon and BostonFIG were all really nice and if you get the chance you should go to them. Also its a big one but I genuinely do think Anime Boston is one of the best anime cons out there.

Yume Ga Arukawa in Lesley University's Porter Square Campus is maybe the best udon I've ever had??

this may or may not be obvious but the central boston public library is SO NICE. as ive lived in more places i only miss the bpl more... they have great events, the space is so beautiful, theres like multiple food options?? its a little overpriced but you rly can just spend all day in there

uhh. idk how hot of a tip this is but the prudential has a pedestrian skybridge connecting it to the copley shopping galleries and its great if you want to walk around that area without having to go outside. i used to work at the pru and i would walk thru the skybridge to get to the library all the time. the copley galleries also have public bathrooms that ppl dont rly use and are kept pretty clean LOL. anyways boston is a very walkable city!! spend time walking around whenever u can it's nice.

Hi all, I haven’t been posting or active much due to personal reasons, and I wanted to update you on some things.

First off, I’ve been fighting an infection for the last month and a half. On top of all of this, I woke up yesterday with severe chest pain which turned out to be Costochondritis (inflammation of the chest cavity). I’m on medicine now to help manage the pain but still have a lot of discomfort.

That being said, I’m temporarily closing my online shop until further notice. As I am supposed to rest and avoid any excessive exercise + can’t lift anything heavy.

I still plan to attend Ladiescon in a week, hopefully my symptoms will be gone. If not, I’m going to have someone come with me to the sale to lift anything heavy.

Due to this, I haven’t been able to draw much, which is a real bummer. I really wanted to participate in Mermay this year but it looks like it’s not happening. I’m hoping to be better in a few days.

Lastly, thank you to everyone who has reached out to check on me! I appreciate it. 💖

My booth at LadiesCon 2021 today

It was a quiet day and traffic was slow, but I had a lot of fun because I got to talk to a bunch of the other artists

Also! I finally got the frame shelves to make my set up a lot taller and more interactive :D

I'm proud of how it turned out
