My birthday is in 13 days (12 days now 😭) and I’d love for this one to not be traumatic like many in the past

I learned audio production so I could independently make music, and am working on my debut album, while taking art commissions and trying to spread the word about my storybook 🖤
The book is written & illustrated by yours truly, about my experiences with homelessness and complex PTSD, but summarized from the perspective of a kitten.
I do a ton of different forms of art, and love taking custom digital art commissions.
& my music is for other survivors and people who have experienced the world similarly 🖤

Any boosts are hugely appreciated alongside any support of my art, thank you! ✌️

Continued thread

There are probably a few artists that want to vend, and people that are curious about vending at art/convention events. Plus, some people that don't do art may be curious about behind the scenes.

There are plenty of behind the scenes art market vlogs done by able bodied and able minded people. I want to share my perspective as disabled person vending alone.
My thoughts may be a bit 'spicy' for vlogging. Idk.

As International NonBinary People’s Day comes to a close, I’d like to share the (sneak peek of the) progress I made composing for a song for my 1st album.

As someone who’s family is barely recovering from homelessness after a breakdown in our RV, I’d appreciate any support. Whether in the form of boosts or checking out the other things on my Patreon (or the links to my music art, and more thru the hyperfollow on my profile), I hope you’ll find something you’ll enjoy 🖤🫶

I recently made a storybook all on my own (besides my cousin designing the cover art and my partner @magicalgrrrl helping to put all the pages together into an ebook).

“Lost Kitten Finds a Way” is an illustrated book, about my experiences with homelessness and DV trauma, from the perspective of a cat (so it’s more palatable to a wider audience). It’s currently only available in ebook, on my Ko-Fi and Patreon. Hopefully sooner than later I’ll be in a position to order physical copies to send out.

For now, though, I’m just trying to meet my family’s basic needs (shelter, food, and meds) so I’d appreciate if anyone decides to get the book or simply buy me a coffee (on Ko-Fi). My partner talks more about our current situation on her page, too 🖤

How did this happen in a month!!?? O.o

I went from taking about 4.5 years to reach 250 subs and now in a month it hiked up 50 new people reading my little comic of (currently) 152 episodes!

Thank You All so much for all the support!!!

And if you fancy reading a free comic about a rare, neurological sleep disorder (IH) and share about it to spread awareness - please do:
