Added 2024-06-24 12:20:09 +0000 UTCI’m struggling so much with this depressive episode, I haven’t been able to make comics in a few weeks. It’s so frustrating! Instead of comics I have made a lot of vent self portraits. It helps to get my thoughts on paper in order to recognize they’re not grounded in reality. Thanks for checking them out ❤️

2024-08-03 21:09:16 +0000 UTCMeg, I want you to know that your art makes me feel like I’m being seen in a way I didn’t know was even possible. I relate to these kinds of posts in particular more than any other art I’ve ever seen. I see them and I know I’m not alone in feeling this way. I read your book and I just sat in my bed and cried. I too struggle with horrible depressive episodes. I feel so alone. Like no one could ever understand. And here was something which had captured what that feels like and often in such a sweet and funny and even gentle way. I can’t even tell you what that meant to me. I’m in an episode now and I came to patron today specifically to look at your art because it comforts me. I figured since you are struggling now this may be a good time to let you know how much it means to me. I want you to know that you matter and that you are loved. And I also want you to know that you helped me see that those same words apply to me as well. Thank you. You deserve to relax. You are loved.

2024-06-25 12:36:39 +0000 UTCWow <3. A- your artwork is sososo emotive it just packs a punch even before the words. So incredible. B- that is such a struggle and a vicious cycle, a lot to deal with. I'm always amazed by how you are so open and kind even when fighting your own battles.

2024-06-24 20:22:55 +0000 UTCThank you so much for sharing these and all your other mental health struggles and successes. Your work inspired me to start creating personifications of the different parts of myself to help me better understand and accept them and give the less helpful ones less power.

2024-06-24 13:01:10 +0000 UTCAs a fellow bipolar human, these feel so real and recognizable to me. My brain-monsters reared their ugly heads yesterday bc I’ve been so exhausted and telling them to stfu takes so much energy… but we got this, hell or high water 💜
