The text in this image is from the song "Pirate Jenny" by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, from the musical "The Threepenny Opera."

My favorite version is this one, by Shilpa Ray, Nick Cave, and Warren Ellis.

(This song is on the Claudia playlist that I have created. I might have created playlists for all the main characters in IWTV.)

I drew a Zevran.

A few years back (maybe 3?) I saw your couples therapy comic and I spoke about it with my own therapist and went "wow, that was a lot of violence on kids in those cartoons and it was downplayed normalized." And in turn helped me realize that my own issues with my parents were downplayed and normalized. I'm in a much better place and I wanna say thanks for helping, in the small way you did just by sharing your comic with tumblr.

Thank you for messaging me! I'm glad to hear you're in a better place and I hope therapy was beneficial to you. Whether it's from a therapist or from a friend, it can be really important to have another person validate that what you went through WASN'T okay.

In case it hasn’t been evident, I’ll take this moment to make it clear: I am not here for white supremacists/nationalists, racists, misogynists, homophobes, antisemites, antiziganists, xenophobes, TERFs, SWERFs, or any manifestation of fascism or social darwinism.

Went to the art museum and spent about 2 hrs just wandering around. A really lovely break after having an absolutely RIDICULOUS Thursday. The museum trip reminded me that painting will, I think, always be my main medium. I love doing weaving and embroidery and comics, but nothing gets to me, stops me in my tracks, makes me look, and makes me want to rush home and make my own art the same way that paintings do.

Hey, I was hust wondering if you were able to sell any more hard copies of your Bobby therapist zine? Its beautiful. Thanks!

Thank you! I’m in the process of moving to a new place (where my boyfriend and I will have a room for an art studio!!) and all my hard copies are packed up already. They should be back up for sale by the first week or two of October.

!~Pretty Alien II~!

Here's the full body version of my Pretty Alien Sailor Moon. The tentacles on the face are sensory organs, but the tentacles on the chest and lower back are limbs. The tentacles evolved as a way to carry one's young and still have full use of one's hands. The opposable thumb on the feet is what gives the impression that Sailor Moon wears high heels. The "skirt," like the "collar," is a wattle that's inflated during mating displays.

I might revist this as a traditional painting...

Hey, your Bobby Hill comic was recently re-posted on Reddit, and it's the first time I've seen it since training to become a therapist. Do you have a background in therapy? Or a background of going to therapy? Because I have to say, the therapeutic style you used for Bobby in the comic is top notch. If you were a peer of mine I'd offer a few minor critiques, but really, amazing job.

Thank you!

I have been to therapy, and I do work in mental health. It's not something I talk about in-depth on this account (or any other account, honestly) due to the confidentiality of the work. Additionally, who I am on this account is not who I am in my mental health work; similar to how who I am at work is not (all of) who I am in my personal life.
