🎨 Drawing Anne Bonny & Mary Read: Fierce Queer Pirates 🎨

Yarrrrr!!! Ahoy there my fellow crewmates!!! In my illustration today I am telling the story of two unsung queer women hailing from the Golden Age of Piracy (1700-1725). From this age, we know quite well the names of Blackbeard, Benjamin Hornigold, Calico Jack, and Black Bart to name but a few… but we are not […]

🎨 24-Hour Zine-Making Challenge with Swansea Zine Fest ✂️

“Swansea Zine Fest is a not-for-profit event held to celebrate fanzines and DIY self-publishing. The very first SZF was held in 2018. The organisers are three Swansea-based zinesters and activists.

💦 SQUIRTLE 💦 Gotta draw ’em all! 💦

“Squirtle’s shell is not merely used for protection. The shell’s rounded shape and the grooves on its surface help minimize resistance in water, enabling this Pokémon to swim at high speeds.” If I don’t get to live in the world where I can catch ’em all then I just have to make it my mission […]

Illustration: Lana Brysys

Let me introduce you to Lana Brysys of The Trollflayers… I mean, we only actually flayed a troll one time, and mostly because Jhaan wanted to eat it, but the name kind of stuck.

IZM: Day 7 Climate

The prompt for my International Zine Month 2020: Zine A Day project for Day 7 was Climate. For me, that meant writing tips on how to be more environmentally friendly in small ways! When it comes to tackling the climate crisis, I think we all need to start small. Enacting manageable bite-size changes is much better […]

Illustration: Maleficent

Animated Maleficent fits the traditional “crone” archetype perfectly. I was so enamoured with the recent re-telling of the Disney classic, where her character becomes relatable, and is given great depth. We see her develop from an innocent child, through a bitter betrayal, to become the “Mistress of Evil” that she is touted to be. Yet, […]

Zines: Self Care in Lockdown

Yesterday I had another fantastic virtual zine-making session with Rosie! Pop back a couple of posts to check out the mini-zine I made in the previous session. Last time, my zine was all about anxiety, so this time I felt like it would be a good idea to make a zine all about self care! […]

I want to get into the good habit of […]
