Hi! Do you take Camrese (estradiol birth control)? Does your Rx include these oddly nice plastic flippable containers? Do you not know what to do with them? ISO as many of these as possible, so please DM me if you have any! I will reimburse shipping & I will draw you something!

Do you hear that? It’s the sound of my next special big project…I can’t work on it proper until I finish everything else on my plate, but I can doodle some characters as a treat (Yes it is a space epic >:} )

I made almost zero personal work this year (which I need to change in 2022), but one thing I am very proud of from this year is my Ignatz-winning short comic, LEAF LACE. It's about love, grief, im/mortality, and knitting. 🧶 You can get an ebook here: hivemill.com/products/leaf-…
