Something I’ve been reading up on recently in my quest to provide backgrounds for my drawings is Disney’s focus on pools of light in backgrounds, the idea being that backgrounds, while important and containing valuable information, are set pieces. A background on its own isn’t…

"I want to read about women of all ages, in love. I want to read about black girls meeting their soul mates while they chase their degrees, Asian women falling in love with long lost friends, redheads lusting over Latinas. I want ethnically diverse vampires and sorority girls, and Western landscapes, and sea adventures. I wanted the heroine of the story to meet the girl of her dreams while battling an evil queen. I want to read about interracial relationships, BDSM scenarios, happy families, strippers, and of course, women of the plusser size :), so that’s what I choose to write."

How I Get Shit Done
Ok, nobody asked me this but I’m going to talk about how I manage to be a productive human!! For those who don’t know, I’m a Professional Young Person who has no job, no current school schedule, and zero real responsibilities outside of those I set for myself. In some ways it’s pretty awesome to be a dependent hobo, but it’s really easy to be useless if I don’t make myself get shit done.
Have a workspace
For a long time having an internet connection killed my ability to be very productive making a comic. When I got a laptop, I moved my workspace from my desktop to my room, where I have no internet. Having a desk or room or workspace-whatever that’s separate from where I chill and relax helps me put my brain into “work mode”.
"Go be that starving Artist you’re afraid to be. Open up that journal and get poetic finally. Volunteer. Suck it up and travel. You were not born here to work and pay taxes. You were put here to be part of a vast organism to explore and create. Stop putting it off. The world has much more to offer than what’s on 15 televisions at TGI Fridays. Take pictures. Scare people. Shake up the scene. Be the change you want to see in the world. You’ll thank yourself for it."

“ I can’t draw.
That’s a pretty big problem, because that’s supposed to be my thing. I have all the technical knowledge and muscle memory, but as soon as pencil connects to paper it’s a total system shut down. I can still create images at work at…
Introducing Tumble Tree! ~ Check out this thing I made that lets you see how posts are reblogged across Tumblr. It works on the dashboard or on most permalink pages, and you can sproing the branches around, filter notes by comments, save the tree as a picture blah blah blah. I’ve been using and testing it for the last couple of weeks and it’s pretty handy.
Go to tumble-tree.tumblr.com to try it out and install it. I guarantee you probably won’t die!
P.S. Yes this is why I haven’t posted much in the last couple of weeks.
