Anonymous said: I just met you and I already love you?? Your comics are so deep, I want to be an artist and you’re kinda giving me hope I can be happy with that :)
Thank you! Being able to inspire someone in their own art is on of the best things to hear. I wish you the best in your art-making. My advice (which I should listen to myself about) is to be understanding and kind to yourself. Art-making, even when it’s done spontaneously and just for fun, is a learning process. It’s taken years and years of practice, at least 5 of those years in the context of art schools, for me to make art the way I do. And I still want to learn more and change my art and I still get frustrated with it! So if you hit a stumbling block in your art, don’t give up!
Anonymous said: Would you do something with the KOTH character John Redcorn..?
I hadn’t really considered doing something with John Redcorn. If an idea came to me, I might do a comic.
Anonymous said: Honestly it’s time to kill off Peter and Homer or cancel both of the shows.
I’m biased, so I’d be fine with Family Guy being gone forever and Simpsons re-runs.
Anonymous said: Your comic about Bobby being a therapist to B*** and C**** is literally my favorite comic of all time, I’m always happy to see it on my dash, thanks for making it it’s incredible
Thank you! :D
Anonymous said: good job!
Thank you, I do try.
Anonymous said: i just wanted to say i still really love your comic where bart simpson and chris from family guy are being counseled by bobby hill. its a great piece of media
Thank you! It’s so weird to realize that comic is like... four years old.
Anonymous said: Hi there!! I followed u a year or so back bc of the bart/Chris therapy comic, and was wondering if you deleted the follow up comics u made ? I can’t seem to find them anywhere :0c
Weird! They should be right here: https://panic-volkushka.tumblr.com/post/146046796495/its-here-a-hard-copy-version-of-my-comic

I always forget that contour drawing is, like, actually a good warm up.
I’m sorry for ever complaining about your Drawing I and Drawing II classes, Ms. Miller.

Well, I may try to switch from Etsy at some point in the future... when I have the time to do that...
Etsy is somehow being even worse, do not click etsy ads
Etsy is now forcing shop owners to be part of their ads. We can not opt out.
To anyone who buys from etsy: DO NOT EVER CLICK THEIR ADS
They are rolling out a program where if you get a sale from an ad they put out, they’re taking 12-15% of the profit(probably on top of the like, 5%ish+ they already take). Even worse, if you have clicked an Etsy ad in the last 30 days ANYONE YOU BUY FROM ON ETSY IN THAT PERIOD WILL BE BILLED THAT FEE.
So please, if you see an ad for something you like off etsy, do not click it. Just go on etsy and search for it.
This is somehow worse than what storenvy used to pull.
Please go directly through an artist or see if they have their own storefront (I use bigcartel) instead of purchasing off etsy. And if you must, just please, please, never click an etsy ad.
"queer coding" and here I thought you were actually cool
I turn 30 this year. I am freed from the burden of giving a shit about being cool.

Anonymous said: i really care about your doctor hill comic... i i i know it's viral now so you probably have a lot of asks like this, but i watched all those shows growing up and it made me feel like it was normal for me to be mistreated. especially as a little gay kid. seeing the narrative flipped was... extremely cathartic. i think i'm gonna go to therapy
Thank you so much for taking the time to write me such a kind message. I’m glad you connected to the comic and I wish you all the best! I hope you’re able to find a kind, respectful therapist. And if the therapist you find ISN’T doing it for you: Ditch ‘em and get a better one.
Anonymous said: hey i know u've gotten a few asks along these lines but i really digged ur therapist bobby comic. i have experienced a lot of trauma and want to become a therapist who works thru trauma w ppl. and idk the comic was just very oddly soothing. i hope all the queers can find peace. thank you 💘
Thank you! I hope you find peace too and good luck on your journey, whether or not that journey involves becoming a therapist. A good therapist can make such a difference in someone’s life.
Anonymous said: Bobby Hill becoming a therapist is the best idea ever!!!!! I love your comic about Bart and Chris 💖💕
Thanks!! I really think Bobby would be a good therapist.

Tomorrow at ass o’clock in the morning I will be getting on a plane to OK to pack my boyfriend, his stuff, two snakes, and a cat into a truck and then roadtrip it all the way back to the PNW!!!
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.
Pages from my accordion-book sketchbook. Trying out paint markers (Posca and Molotow). Really liking them so far.

This post has been flagged and deemed inappropriate.

Please explain how the nudity in my comic book about trans masculinity, which won the Broken Pencil 2018 Zine awards, violates tumblr policy.
Either it’s because you deemed this as having “female presenting nipples,” which is incorrect as all of these images are of transgender men, or you have deemed this is not “of artistic merit.”
I would like to know which policy I have violated.

Anonymous said: Would you ever revisit your therapist Bobby comics? They’re fascinating. I read the first one a while back and I haven’t stopped thinking of it since.
Thank you! I’ve said what I wanted to say with the comic, so I have no plans to revisit it. If I get inspired to do more with it for some reason, then I will.
@sjwreaper said: Sorry if this has been asked but did you make your loom? I do a lot of fiber art and weaving interests me, it just seems so complex!
I have two looms now! The “trash loom” I did make myself, and the other was gifted to me by my boyfriend.
I’ve only done handweaving, nothing as complex as a floor loom or even a backstrap loom. I think handweaving can be picked up fairly easily and only ends up as complex as you decide to make it!
These are the websites I used as inspiration/instruction for making my loom and tapestries. The trash loom was made simply by pushing thumbtacks into either end of an empty picture frame.

@lumalalu said: NOT to go on about the chris and bart comic but everytime i see it i think of a new interpretation and i think that's really wonderful
Thank you!
Tbh, the day someone creates an interpretation through fanfic or fanart of MY interpretation through fanart is the day I will ascend beyond this mortal form.

Thank you! I agree, I would love to have Bobby as a therapist.
