Happy #FacialExpressionFriday! I'm way behind on posting here, but I'm trying to catch up. If you want up-to-the-minute updates, check out my Patreon page at patreon.com/akirebubar - a lot of my content is free, although your support is very much encouraged and appreciated!

...Some carnivorous plants for you! This drawing is #straighttoink, using a photo I took in the Adirondacks last year as a reference.

I hope everyone is out enjoying this spectacular spring day! Me, I'm stuck inside #sick with #pneumonia. Blech. <takes another sip of Gatorade and wheezes>

I feel like I get stuck using terms like 'mental health' and 'mental illness' a lot just so people will know what I'm talking about. But there are some great alternatives I'd like to help spread around! Words shape our perceptions of ourselves and others. This comic is just my take on things and YMMV, but personally, I'm in favor of using words to describe myself that don't imply I'm sick or broken. I'm not. <3

I've been having a lot of fun with loose, fast, sloppy sketching. It's so much fun to forget about perfect and just DRAW!

My cat-loving friends, I made this comic for you. You know how it is... :-D

Drawing is how I get by. It's how I prove to myself, again and again, that I can put one foot in front of the other. It is how I remind myself I am capable, even when everything feels like it's falling apart. And it's a small miracle - even a simple doodle, and suddenly All Is Not Lost. Suddenly the day is brighter. Suddenly I remember my worth.

Hey, I made a FREE coloring page for you to download on my Patron page! And I posted a few words about where I'm at a lot of the time, these days. This is my first Patreon post on the new page, but there's a few more already up if you want to take a look around and see what I'm doing there. Lots more art, comics, and coloring pages to come!

Hey, check it out, I finally launched my own Patreon page! Illustrations, coloring pages to download, and comics about disability, mental illness, & more. Come join me! Link in bio, or patreon.com/akirebubar.
