Autumn Spice & Everything Feral

& My Newest New Yorker Piece!

IT’S AUTUMN MOTHA FUCKASSSSSSSS!

If you don’t watch “Over The Garden Wall” every autumn, who even are you?

In due respect for the season I am:

1. Listening to an “autumn vibes” Spotify playlist

2. Sippin’ my cinnamon dusted coffee, and

3. Wearing a sweater with lots of cats on it.

I have also been drawing my patio a lot lately, so please enjoy this collection I shall call:

Patio Retrospective (2024)

(Alt Title: “Someone” Really Needs To Get Out More (2024))

CHECK OUT MY NEWEST NEW YORKER PIECE!

You can read the rest of the comic here.

I would share the whole thing here, but I’m not allowed to!

If you’ve been following my Substack (or my Instagram), you’ll probably know I haven’t been pregnant since November of last year.

So, the reason why this comic was published over a year later is because after I wrote and drew it I…

✨let it sit on my desk for 6 months out of pointless self-doubt before submitting it✨

And if I’m being completely honest, I have probably 5 or so finished pieces I continue to not submit for similar reasons.

I DON’T KNOW WHY I’M LIKE THIS.

But hopefully it’s relatable for any of you out there who struggle with self-doubt.

Quick Substack Update:

I think I’m going to table my recurring segments for a bit.

I’ve committed to my recurring segments for the past 2 years and I haven’t recently felt like they’ve been serving me as much, so I’m going to attempt a looser structure moving forward.

THROWIN’ IT ALL TO THE WIND!

TBD, but just thought I’d let you know.

Comments (Let’s Chat!):

• Have you watched “Over The Garden Wall”?

• Do you make art/work then just let it fester out of self-doubt?

• Making art/work is the easy part. Submitting it, to most likely be rejected is the hard part. Agree/disagree?

  • Does anyone have any strategies that come to mind to break free of this nonsense?
