Two Kittens in Your Pocket (Comic #778)
Posted on January 27, 2025 by liz

This comic was drawn for the Mini Comic Night Dune Fan Club (nothing to do with the book/movies!), a monthly cartoonist meetup facilitated by David Lasky. It started as a dancing tribute to Jules Feiffer and then kittens turned up, so less room for dancing!

I’ve been doing a lot of good work recently. In my creative and professional life around having a stronger voice and extending my comfort zone. Life can sometimes feel like a cycle of remembering and forgetting or maybe knowing truths in your body and forgetting.

I can still experience terrible anxiety sometimes, but I’m being bolder and forgiving myself for when I reality check. Sometimes I forget that it’s ok to be me, but then I remember again ^_^

Thanks to all my patrons and a special big extra thanks to Kate Webb, Erik Owomoyela, Stuart Barrow, Jesse the K, Brian Fies and Tracey Radford.

I Like Trees

Our tree is a little small, so I had to tape the things onto it! To make these ornaments I had to buy crayons pencils and markers, all those things had been left behind when we moved to America. I think coloring in should be for folds of all ages. It isn’t wasted time, it’s useful meditation.

Festive Ornaments

Posted on December 17, 2014 by liz
When I was a kid my favorite ornaments were Richard Scary color it in yourself ornaments. Some were colored, some had a single line of crayon through them. they were paper cut outs with holes punched in them and ribbon, string or wire from bread bag attaching them to the tree. I love holidays as an excuse for crafts. There’s something special about learning how to make popcorn strings or fold crepe paper into streamers. There is a pleasure in making, mastering and being part of a communal effort that is seen. I made these ornaments for you, just print them out, color in, cut out and add string. If you do use any I’d love to see them. You can mention in the comments or send me an e-mail. I’ve printed out a copy for myself, but I have not yet colored mine in! The Things can be any color or pattern in the world (or non-world) so it’s hard to decide how to do it!

A Letter to the Children at St Baldricks

Posted on November 21, 2014 by liz
This comic/letter exists because one of the fabulous Uncanny Magazine Kickstarter Patrons. By supporting Uncanny David Buksbaum earned himself a pack of mini-comics, temporary tattoos, shrinky dinks and a letter from any of the characters in the Things. David decided to use his letter to send some good cheer to the kids at St Baldricks on behalf of himself and his daughter, Rachel. ^_^ Hooray for good peoples!

World Fantasy Con Sketch 2!

Posted on November 12, 2014 by liz
Folks who came by the SFWA table at WFC were offered free sketches. I drew this one for Karen Meisner. She asked for something with unicorn and moon. She had no idea I was working on a unicorn monkey sketch at the time! Hooray for Chuffles! I think Mayara and Chuffles will go on more adventures together.
