Little Yellow Bird

LYB is what happens when you combine academia, birds in scarves, and the little joys of everyday life.

A new bird for a new year! Hope 2024 has been kind so far, friends <3

I'm joining Folktale Week 2023!! Super excited for this new round of my favorite annual challenge.

(Given the prompts, trying my hand at a selkie tale for the first time!)

Hello friends! It's been a while since posting, but I had a blast this past weekend taking part in Madeleine Jubilee Saito's "Create a Poetry Comic!" workshop.

We made two-panel comics pulling together recently-encountered images, text, and feelings. #poetrycomics #comicspoetry

[Carterhaugh School @CarterhaughLLC]

We're only $150/m away on Patreon from creating a *folklore-inspired poetry magazine*! THANK YOU for all your support!! So many awesome places have closed, we'd be over the moon to make this happen! PATREON FOR POETRY! https://t.co/aOs4qswSiz #carterhaughschool #poetryjournal

[Little Yellow Bird @lybcomic]

Working on a 24-page issue through the Storytelling Collective's six-week "Write Your First Comic" workshop!

(Not my first comic, but my longest graphic fantasy piece in development so far--the pace is definitely expanding my comfort zone!)

Excited to have a new piece out today in the @StorytellingCol 's "Collective Panels, Volume II" in honor of #FreeComicBookDay! The full collection is available for "pay what you want" through the weekend via DriveThru Comics: https://t.co/r26cLskLTI...

This bird is tenured!!!! (New headshot by Jared Jones!)

[Little Yellow Bird @lybcomic]

I'll post one page/six panels a week for the next few weeks on Instagram, Tumblr, and Facebook--I hope you enjoy it! I had a lot of fun making it, and I'm grateful to friends, colleagues, and CEX instructors/classmates for their feedback.

Excited to finally share a short comic I've been working on called "Breakthrough"!! I drafted the script last year as part of a @ComicExperience course. The assignment was to tell a full story in five pages, max of six panels per page.

[Little Yellow Bird @lybcomic]

A few more character design drafts (I'll start posting the comic itself next week!) #bird #comics #webcomics
