Picture of a street that looks like it has a bad sepia tone over it, the air quality is bad here.
illustration of a long haired kid doing a not-very-good grab trick on a skateboard. the colours are purples and pinks. They're skating by an abandoned pool, the area looks a bit run down.
A fat, dark haired butch woman looking exhausted and sweaty. She is being supported by a smaller, trans femme woman with long red hair. The femme is smiling at the butch in a sort of incredulous way. They are having the following conversations in speech bubbles: Butch "Am I daying? I'm dying, right?" Femme "Noo, you're not dying. You just moshed with 20-year olds." B "I am a fool." F "Mmm...Maybe, but you're my fool." The colours are orange and blue on cream.
Illustration of three women goofing around while playing DnD. The one on the left is laughing and pulling away from her friends while eating the last chip. Her character is in a floating portrait above her; a bust of a blushing short haired dwarf with two daggers framing them. The one in the middle is blonde and had many freckles. She's pointing, accusatory, at the woman eating the chip and smiling. She's sitting behind a GM blind and has a pen behind one ear. Her character portrait is of a hyena woman, grinning, with a sword beneath her bust. The third woman is a black woman with dark green braids gathered in a messy half-bun. She's reaching over to the woman eating the chip, as if to grab it, and smiling. Her character portrait is a blond, fancy looking elf woman with sparkles around her. The floor is littered with dice, there are drink cans and glasses around, a conspicuously empty chip bowl, some paper and a map with indistinct game pieces on it. The colours are blue and lime green.
illustration of a dishevelled, sharp toothed woman, crouched naked over an elk carcass, it's ribs exposed. She's pulling a giant, gooey piece of flesh off with her teeth. the colours are blue and orange, on a creamy background. Above her are the words "support your local wild woman".
illustration of a giant, smiling woman. inside of her is a large host of friends, all queer, laughing together. they're either around a table with food, or heading to it. There is an exploding beam of light where her heart is.
Crop of an illustration of a fantasy blacksmith, manned entirely by women. Two are actively working at the hearth and bellows, while two are in the foreground blushing at each other, and faintly in the background though the doorways we can see a crowd going by, with two young women admiring the sweaty working women of the forge.
a sketch of a fed up, chubby punk woman throwing her hands up, and her giant werewolf companion walking through the woods. They are having a conversation in speech bubbles: Woman: And do'you know what he said then?! Giant werewolf: I can guess- W: Yea "You just ain't had th'right cock"! GW: A classic. W: GAWD! You'd think it was the '20s, fuckin' guy. GW:...I could bite him? W: Ehhh...I punched his dick. GW: Heh.

a sketch of me, drawing at my desk, while a black cat zooms around the picture in various states of despair at being ignored
Two pages from the comic "teleportation and other luxuries". On the first page, a boy falls into a portal, landing himself: above the Arctic Ocean, a raging forest fire, a speeding bus and over a cliff. On the second page he pop into a blizzard, under the ocean and finally, directly into a casket.
a boy looks up in fear from the glowing screen of his computer, to a screaming, skull-faced ghost, reaching out towards him.

A pen drawing on lined paper: A person leaning over with huge headphones one, wearing a baggy jacket and baggy pants. They appear to be wearing a kind of headscarf and wearing goggles and a mask. Just above them is two itty-bitty doodles of people in funky outfits, hardly more than glorified stick-figures.
A digital page of sketches. The page is cream coloured. There are two butch women in the bottom right; a taller, fat butch elbows her friend who's looking bashful, saying "She's checking you out, bud." the other is scratching the back of her neck and replies "aww, c'mon...you think?". Both these woman look older, maybe in their 40s. There a punk woman staring blankly off the screen while an unseen voice says; "Welcome aboard! We think you'll be a-" the punk woman is not listening to the job man, and is instead dreaming of circus music. There's a dishevelled looking person with their hair in a shaggy small ponytail, bust only. An angular woman with her leg extended in movement, in the middle of the page, wearing a spaghetti strap tank and cut-off shorts, hairy legs on display. Her hair is voluminous. There's some kind of alien or creature person, also wearing cutoffs (I guess i'm thinking of summer) and a link of bodysuit with stars on it. They're waving vaguely at the viewer. They have a mullet and big, mule-like ears. There is a bust of a beautiful woman with big, doe eyes, wearing lipstick. She has little starbursts around her. There's a profile of what I can only describe as Roger M Klotz from Doug, except a lesbian with an undercut. There are smaller drawing in between all of these: A long-haired teen dressed for summer, a ham, a fat woman crouched down snarling, another fat woman laying on her side wither her hair cascading down. A hot dog in a bun. A droopy leaf of a made up tropical plant, a flower. a boy looking surly and be-dampened, with the words "dont want to swim" over him. A rabbits head in distress, its eyes rolling with the words "there's a dog loose in the woods". A little unicorn woman peeks up from the bottom of the page, and another doodle of her floating midair, showcasing feathery unicorn legs and a tail.
A long haired girl, sitting at a cluttered art table in a cabin, is dreamily thinking of another girl. They're both camp councilors, and the other girl is the swim instructor.
A very loose, colour sketch of Cressida Cowper in an outrageous dress that is, honestly, a little more digimion than pokemon, but I'm having fun over here. There are multitudinous pink bows and ruffles, and her hair is up in an impossible architecture of swoops and curls.
myself and my roomie working on our hourlies, watching Bridgerton. A black cat is crawling up a couch back, yelling "heyheyheyhey".
6-7pm, on the TTC heading to meet friends! We're eating Hungarian tonight.
Me, running between washing machines and driers, surrounded by bags of laundry and coins. On the bottom of the page, I'm folding clean clothes while chatting with an excited other laundromat customer. She's an artist, too!

pen drawing on grid paper. In the first panel, a hand reached over the edge of a wardrobe and taps the snooze button on a phone.

Grinding our rest potential, etc etc etc.." under the second panel, "But all good things must en, so we get up, despite all evidence that this rarely solves any of our problems. (i'm sleepyyyyyy)..."

Business card with a little green woman with a large backpack on her back. Text: Mary Verhoeven. Illustration & Comics. sob-comix.com and then it has my email which is my first name, full stop, and then my last name at gee mail dot com. I'm typing it out because of spam!
four panel comic of two characters in a kitchen. A woman is teasing a man about dropping his keys in some soup. It looks like she actually does it, he reacts with shock and horror, but they both have a laugh once it's revealed she only dropped them on the counter, out of his view.
Detail from the second to last panel of the previously posted comic. It's a close up of the screen being drawn on, showing the discarded ideas; A pair of tits, crossed out. A wolf with a pair of tits, crossed out. Two women with their tits out, making out-crossed out. A scribble.
A quick comic about making a terrible comic. Panel one is me riding furiously to work, thinking about making a terrible comic. The sun beats down, and next to it is the phrase "the sun is a deadly laser etc etc wurtz et al.". Panel two is a closeup of my face obscured by pouring water as I water a plant. In the water is the words "gotta comic". There's an arrow pointing to the plant with the words "craves death" and under the plant is written "A stromanthe (IYKYK)". Panel three is me eating a wrap on break, watching something on my phone, hanging out with a giant, suffering fiddle leaf fig. There's a thought bubble saying, "yup, gonna make a fine comic!". The fourth panel is open and is of a clock with rapidly circling arms, under which is written "some kinda time magic occurs". Panel 5 is me realizing it's 10pm and my eyes bugging out yelling "whaaaaaat!" I am definitely not reading AO3. The 6th panel is me furiously drawing while trying to think of something to draw. The last panel is me looking at YOU, the READER, and giving you a thumbs up. My face is enigmatic. The colours in this comic are lack for the line art, the background is a warm, dull yellow, and the writing is mostly a deep, bright orange.
Still from the movie "Girlfight" from 2000. A young Michelle Rodriguez glares at the camera and viewer. Her face is slightly downturned so she's peering up, her jaw is tensed. She looks both determined, and angry.
My letterboxd 4 recent watch list: "Some Like it Hot", "Walker", "Dracula's Angel" and "Sinners"
Digital drawing of many Podlings (from The Dark Crystal movie/series) wearing fun and raggedy fashion. At the top is the work "Podlings" in a Dark Crystal style scripts, and under that it says "Thra's Best Dressed". Next to that is the head of a bashful Podling, saying "Fala vam!"
close up and, admittedly, not very clear picture of a new leaf on a plant. It's spear shaped and has heavy variegation. Behind it is a mature leaf, which is showing some fenestration. The background is out of focus, but shows some other green plants.
picture of many comic books, zines, stickers, a print, a pin and a tshirt laid out on a bedspread.
A drawing of two butches, embracing. One is very tall and fat and hairy, with a shaggy mullet and a confidant smile. They're caressing the arm of the smaller butch woman, who's biting her lip and pulling the larger butch toward by the lapel of her shirt. The smaller woman is covered in tattoos, has a short, dark buzz cut and is wearing a chest harness.
Doodle of a very large woman next to a small woman. The large woman has darker skin and hair, she has a friendly look on her face, and is wearing plain clothes that have seen better days. She has many scars on her left forearm. The small woman has pale hair and skin, and looks surly as all he. Her clothes are well-fitted and nicer looking. She has a nose ring and multiple ear piercings. Her right arm is pressed into the side of the large woman's thigh. They both give off a kind of fantasy vibe. They are wives.
Digital drawing of Marybeth and Stokley from The Faculty1998. Marybeth is leaned into and flirtily (that better be a word) touching Stokely, who's blushing and tucking some hair behind her ear, while looking kind of alarmed or bashful Marybeth also had a work arm slash tentacle, so write that down.
