Hi! 🐦 I got a new phone recently, and I decided I won't be adding this app to it. I'm not deleting my account, but I'll essentially be off the platform unless I'm on my laptop, and I won't be receiving push notifications. I'm extremely active on Instagram, so meet me over there!

@nathanwpyle We bring the peach 🍑

@ianmcginty You were one of my earliest inspirations, proof that art can be new and different and strange and wonderful. We will miss you so much.

[Mariyka Foster @MariykaFoster]

Good news. The writing is going great.

Author-Illustrator cycle: Write to procrastinate drawing, draw to procrastinate finishing the writing, wrist hurts so go back to writing,
