Happy birthday the great Japanese filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki! Here’s a little tribute to him.

I first saw Princess Mononoke when I was 11, and it changed my life forever. I still cry during the movie, no matter how many times I see it. It becomes more and more beautiful whenever I watch it.

My last comic for 2018. I definitely need to work on managing my expectations, that’s for sure. I hope everyone had a nice NYE and got plenty of rest today!

I wanted to do a doodle before bed and asked @maria.jaujou what to draw. She suggested a sprite so I found a cute photo of a conophytum succulent. Well… i guess the pen I used to ink this hates my markers, so it smudged. I’m posting it anyways! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My favorite thing to draw lately is my Pokemon! Here’s my Eevee Caramel and her BFF Cream, the Alolan Vulpix. My friend @thedrmouse brought his copics to sketchgroup so I had to play with them!

On the eve of my 29th birthday, I offer this comic to #duneseattle reflecting on mental health. There will be many ups and downs to come, and as dorky as it sounds - I’m feeling a little optimistic about this next year. Hopefully there will be more art!

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance
slightlyaggressiveaffirmations:
November 20th is Transgender Day of Remembrance, a day to remember all those who have lost their lives due to transphobia and anti-trans violence. And let’s put the blame where it should be - due to transphobic people who have chosen to be violent.
Murders (and also suicides) and violent assaults are disproportionately aimed at trans people compared to the general population - by a lot. I choose not to state the exact numbers, as I’m advised that this reduces the deaths of individuals to being just a number. It’s also important to note that this violence is also disproportionately directed towards trans women of colour.
Today is a good day to reflect upon what we as a society can do to make the world safer for trans people and to call out violence when we see it - and remember that violence can often start with violent thoughts and words that you and I can challenge when we hear them.
Today, Slightly Aggressive Affirmations remembers and honours the victims of transphobic violence. SAA is a safe space where gender diversity is recognised and your identity is always valid.

October may be over, but I still have some catching up to do for #inktober2018! Tarot witch has already told my fortune that I shall prevail! Her and her raven are very cryptic and quiet, but when she does speak - she often will say the most profound things.
