@brookejcowan I agree 100%

🌸🌿✨ This is what adding the edition number, the title, and my signature to 60 limited prints looks like 🌸🌿✨

Watch as the pile gets lower and lower...and I still didn’t get it done in one go 😆

Go to my Instagram @artbyjenbackman to learn more about these prints ✨💕

😀✨ It was such a blast creating these storyboards for Roz and Mocha’s new ad.

Drawing Roz and Mocha was so much fun!

@codymwelton This is gold, you were so sexist in high school 🙄 you ever apologize for being openly sexist, homophobic and racist?

[Jen Backman⚡ @Jen_Backman]

@hellocookie Understandable 😎 (Ps I’m almost done the revisions and rework of my written comic draft and your edits and suggestions have been beyond helpful!)

Trans rights are human rights. We’ve got a lot of work to do to make sure trans people can thrive without fear of discrimination, bigotry, or violence. And I am in that fight all the way. #TransDayOfVisibility

@hellocookie This is so cute 😍

@goldsbie Cody was a bully in high school. He was openly racist, sexist and homophobic. I’ve sent you a DM with more info about a really awful situation with him and a girl from our hometown 😣

How it started ✨ How it’s going

🖍 It started with scribbles and colouring books. The photo on the left is 1996 Jen, colouring.

✍️ It’s going - well! I’m a freelance illustrator and I feel so damn lucky to do what I love for a living. This photo is me at my desk this summer.

So happy and relieved for all my friends in the US, this is a win for the world.

The Boys is definitely my favourite show right now. Just watched the last episode of season 2 and I already want to rewatch the whole series again. #TheBoysTV

Every person (INCLUDING and ESPECIALLY MEN) deserves someone who they feel safe and seen to CRY around. It’s not weak, it’s a natural human release.

[Jen Backman⚡ @Jen_Backman]

So stoked ✨

I’ve always said grief isn’t a straight line. Grief doesn’t go away, it just changes and for those who are grieving, my heart is with you ❤️
