The Edit Letter

I got my edit letter for my next graphic novel this week! An edit letter (if you don't already know) is basically a big collection of notes and feedback from my editor about what's working in the book and what could use a little more attention. It usually focuses on the big picture stuff, like character development and pacing rather than the nitty-gritty details of grammar and wording. I've spent the last few days sitting with the notes and letting things percolate. I always need a bit of time b...

MWAH!

Sometimes you just wanna kiss your boyfriend.

“A work of art is good if it has arisen out of necessity.”

“A work of art is good if it has arisen out of necessity. The verdict on it lies in this nature of its origin: there is no other.” Rainer Maria Rilke in his first letter to Franz Xaver Kappus, compiled in Letters to a Young Poet. I need to pick up The Notebooks of Malte...

Where Journalism Meets Music: ‘Redemption Songs’ Concert Amplifies Voices From Prison

The live event, produced by The Marshall Project and Musicambia, was introduced by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Ants on the Screen

It's been a while since I wrote an interactive post. With the cleanup of my website, I've been removing and rehousing things that no longer make sense to be where they were. One of those was a noise experiment I made years ago, whose goal was to replicate those old TVs. So I decided to bring that back as an interactive post, with more customization than ever!

SO YOU WANT TO DRAW PORN

Here's some helpful links to get you started. First, start with intimacy: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/couples-boudoir-photos-that-capture-the-steamier-side-of-love_n_591dde2ee4b03b485cafa78b

Hey yourself!

I'm Whitney. I'm an author and illustrator who spends the majority of my time making graphic novels for kids (and adults with good taste). I've never been great about bringing people along for the entire comic book making journey. Usually, I disappear into my little studio for a while and eventually emerge with a finished book. But I thought it might be fun if I changed that.

‘ART’icle of The Month

With so much art still flowing on Tezos, it’s time for another ‘ART’icle of the Month.

I do my creative work before checking news headlines

It took me a while, but I've learned that it's much easier to be CREATE if I don't check headlines (including Trending Topics in Bluesky) first thing in the morning...especially these days! Because of an ongoing family issue behind-the-scenes these days, I'm already finding it much more challenging to carve out time to do creativestuff. Hoping that things settle enough by next week so I can start doing regular writing again. What also helps: using to peek into Bluesky instead of the native Blues...

Darkness... no parents...

Ok so Fen is not Batman. But! He is also kinda darkness; he has some kinda of shadow magic that trails off him when he uses it.

Gallery

Here are some of my artworks from the past few years

Fen tying hair

I seem to recall when I drew this a few years ago, for some reason my friends were drawing sketches of their characters tying up their hair.

Beach chair

There's actually not much in the way of said chair in the picture, but I guess I figured it was a better name than 'beach shorts' or something.

Tezos Doesn’t Have to Pick a Lane

Over the years, Tezos has become known for quite a few things.

Furries....oh my furries...

So I tried to restrain myself from starting and developing any massive new projects until my current ones are done but furry AU took me by the neck and went JOKE'S ON YOU FUCKER so here's some more design stuff for that Angela (left) and Prime (right) Angela doesn't have much of an active role in the main plot line I'm developing but she IS an important part of the backstory and I had such a clear idea for her design that I just had to doodle it immediately. Like tall leggie big boobies curly ha...

Heads-up for artists: Translating a photo into art may still violate copyright laws (which is one reason I am loving TrueRef.io)

I used to think that any photo I found online was fair game when it came to using it as reference when I was drawing. What I've learned, however: that translating a photo into another medium (e.g. pencil sketch, digital illustration, etc) may still be classified as an unauthorized derivative work, in terms of copyright laws. Artists shouldn't rely on Fair Use as a free pass. See my list of resources below for more info about this, and how to make sure you're not violating copyright. I also recom...
