A new gravity spike formed this year. The core is still glowing.

just really wanted to make a karine and tav version of this image for some reason

@foxfaer.com @coelary.com Absolutely adored this book. I've always love anthro bug character designs and this world you've built is interesting and beautiful while remaining very human. I cannot wait for the next installment. Also, I may or may not make some fanart.

The art collective I'm a part of, the Compost Pile, has released its first zine. It's $10! Featuring 13 artists, it is a charity zine - after costs, all profits go to charity. Our Q1 charity is the Trans Continental Pipeline, which helps trans people relocate coelary.bigcartel.com/product/comp...

Storyboard artists, often closest and most integral to realizing a director's vision, are a relatively cheap part of the process. Often their role is disparaged, or not even understood. And yet one of the main goals of AI in film production seems to be to replicate what they do.

Share your cross sections.

The good news is that I love making comics. The bad news is that I hate sketching, I hate drawing, I hate inking, I hate coloring, I hate drawing outfits, I hate drawing characters, I hate drawing expressions, I hate drawing backgrounds, I hate planning stories, and I hate writing and editing.

ALSO HEY SPEAKING OF CO-OP STUFF: I spoke with @foxfaer.com about Kerascoët and Fabien Vehlmann's bande desinée "Beautiful Darkness" AND with @itsnero.com about the Cartoonist Cooperative's impending name change on the latest Comix Mixtape podcast! Give it a listen! youtu.be/Xt-M5fycSgA?...

I've started using my printer and a vinyl plotter to make my own stickers! They are turning out SO good. All of them except the skull have holographic variants, too (the skull has its own special spore-like sparkly effect... really fuckin cool). BUY THEM: coelary.bigcartel.com/category/sti...

OH ALSO: while going through some stuff, I found FIVE misplaced coaster sets from the Mothboy Monthly Kickstarter. Next five orders of Mothboy Monthly will get 'em! And I'll throw in a mothboy pin too because I love you coelary.bigcartel.com/product/moth...

For 2026, I brought back my two most popular Patreon tiers: - Postcards from Coelary! $20 a month for an exclusive 4x6 art print delivered right to your mailbox (plus extras!) - Sketch requests! $30 a month for a guaranteed sketch commission, every single month! www.patreon.com/coelary/memb...

Growing.

Alright here's my #artvsartist #artvsartist2025 Strange year for me in terms of art. I made fewer pieces but I experimented and learned a whole lot. Hard to pick a favorite. Really excited to see what I'll make in 2026!

Hello. I need a Karine voice actor. Very low/zero pay right now, but for the right voice, many future paid opportunities will arise. NO VA EXPERIENCE NECESSARY: for this character, natural realism and a wide emotional range is needed (no “character voices”). Acting experience a plus. No terfs.

Signing and numbering copies of Coelary Blood & Beholden for orders today. I can’t believe I’ve sold over 400 copies!

Watercolor, rapidograph, acrylic paint pens - The cliffside town of Aersc is constantly rained upon, so the adobe-ash "mushroom" style structures are built to prevent pooling water. This town is important for researching electromagnetic anomalies, and adjoins the only access to the mountain range.

In about 3 weeks - November 17th - the Coelary site and shop will be going down for an indeterminate amount of time while I look for a cheaper hosting solution. Unfortunately, SquareSpace is beyond my budget this year. If you want anything from the shop, get it now! coelary.com/shop

Daily routine (study) #arsenia

il m'a pris du temps celui-là, bon dimanche! これは時間かかった〜、良い日曜日を！ This took time to make, have a nice sunday!

Bonjour Dimanche! Extrait de planche, dessinée en début d'année 日曜日こんにちは！今年頭で描いた漫画の一部 Hello sunday! Extract from a comics I drew early this year

The lockdown provided me the kind of mental space I needed to finally finish Coelary book 1. I have barely made the same kind of headway on book 2... but I think that's about to change

Thank you for everyone who sent some money for replacing my printer. I received enough donations to cover the cost of the printer and shipping! You are the best.

Currently tabling at the Page 42 books Local Artist Vendor Market in Spokane, selling Coelary stuff and some original paintings. Come say hi! And buy something!

The unsavvy talk about furries like they're some hypersexual excretion of modernity, but drawing animal-people is one of the top 10 neolithic human activities. It's up there with collecting berries and producing clay figures of fat women.

Colossal Cathedral Mud Daubers These giant daubers predate only on one type of cattle spider, so ranchers appreciate having their towers in their fields. The towers are constructed entirely from Dover chalk, and each tower serves a unique function (food storage, nursery, adult housing etc) #Coelary

If i didn't draw my comic ugly, I wouldn't have drawn it at all. I'm still super proud of it and a lot of people like it enough to buy it from me. and their support will make the next book look even better. it's a beautiful ecosystem. draw ugly right now
