Pieces of a comic I’m working on about environmental ed and how maybe we shouldn’t try to traumatize kids into caring about climate change!

The combination of sharpie and rapidograph fumes are combining in my nostrils into a concoction so noxious it will soon be banned for use during wartime

A career in drafting can pay big dividends.

Finally took the wheelchair for a spin and I probably should have much sooner. The biggest difference I noticed was that my legs didn't hurt. Also that having my eyeline significantly lower didn't bother me as much as I thought it might. Biggest thing was being mindful of my turn radius. And remembering that I need to use the breaks when I'm not on carpet.

Went to the art store for the first time in years. Got some ink for refilling my brush pen. I want to use it more and I didn't want to have to fuck with the refill cartridges or worry about running out of ink. Preliminary testing looks promising, but it's going to be a while before it will actually need refilling. I'm going to try and spend some more time laying some ink down in my sketchbook.

Weirdest art advice I've ever seen is (and I can't even remember who said it, I think it was someone on tumblr or youtube?) someone saying that micron pens were a weird hill for so many artists to die on, and that they should learn to use actual tools of the inking trade. For a while in high school this made me think that microns weren't a tool that 'real artists' used, which like????

Yeah you should vary your tools and learn to use others like brushes and dip pens but also microns are like. fine. They're a little wasteful since they're not refillable but they're not bad tools by any means. I'm using one right now and I have an entire art degree

Just. Dont let people tell you you're using the 'wrong' art tools. I've done cool shit with a 20c ballpoint pen on printer paper.

I’d love to hear abt “nights of shrouded fear”🤍🖤

Oh thank you! Actually I've already shared somewhere here a (not so little) snippet of it without mentioning the title sooooo:

But if you wanna know more - this is gonna be an University AU Atsushi-centric fic where i basically self project forgive me my son where I explore his journey through a myriad of all-nighters, struggling to finish his arch projects, while Aku is being a good boyfriend and is, albeit very unsuccessfully, urging him to go the fuck to bed. And to sate any further curiosity because it's gonna be a while until I finish it:

The second night. 2:41. The cold light from the monitor was threatening to blind him. His empty coffee cup sat to the side of the desk. The only sounds in the room were the clicks of the mouse and the, maybe too aggressive, beating of shaky fingers on the keyboard. Atsushi didn't even notice someone entering the room until he felt a soft fabric being laid upon his shoulders and gentle arms coming to wrap around his upper chest. The repetitive chime of the mouse button resonated in the quiet room still. “You know that you don't have to work yourself to the grave right?” a raspy voice seeping with concern sounded right behind his ear. Atsushi sighed. “I'm just trying to plan out the layouts tonight so I don't have to panic the night before the jury.” “You know you say that every time and you still end up panicking, right?” “Okay, excuse me, I meant ‘panic too much’.” The puff of hot breath on the back of his neck made his skin prickle. Oh, how he would give everything to be wholly encased by this warmth, under the sheets of their shared bed, maybe with a boring movie running on the cranky tv for some background noise. It's been a while since Atsushi allowed himself the luxury of crawling under soft blankets for more than an hour or two. The hard surface of the drafting table somehow felt more welcoming for the occasional involuntary nap his body required. Maybe it was just the way his brain ticked - if he never left the desk, that would mean he was still being productive, right? Right?
