I have wanted another piece of your work for years (I’ve had my lace magpie necklace for years and years and adore it) and today I finally got to say I AM GETTING ONE OF THESE.
people who try to “remind” you of your favorite characters’ horrible actions make me laugh. “Let’s not forget they did this and that” yeah I haven’t forgotten, I’m just too busy putting him in a cute outfit
川上 貞奴 “Japanese Ophelia” Sadayakko a.k.a. Sada Yacco (1871-1946)
Born in Tokyo as Sada Koyama, Sadayakko was trained as a geisha and came to the attention of the prominent Japanese politician Itō Hirobumi, who took an interest in furthering her education.
Sadayakko performed in the company her husband founded, The Kawakami Theatre, when it was considered improper for women to perform on stage with men. In 1899, the troupe toured America and Europe, and became the first Japanese theater company to be seen in the west. Performances were held in San Francisco, and New York City in the United States, as well as at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris (with theatrical lighting there done by Loie Fuller) and several other European cities.

I reread RESWAN and had to redraw this for @ladyyatexel ! Added a few new details and changed some things, but man have I improved.
Nny’s identity struggle is 100% relatable. I mean, other than the murder part, just struggling to figure out what part of you that you want to become. Having voices telling you to be one person, or the next. Having to fight all of that to get your true self despite having other clearly defined personalities.
It’s such a good story and I seriously implore you to read it, Jthm fan or not!!!!
Awwww! This is so sweet, thank you!
I love that you wanted to revisit the story AND your art for it. I especially love the shading on the new faces in particular, that looks great. Color choices are harmonizing so much better now too! And Edgar looks like such a Guy?? I cannot form a better sentence about it I just keep looking at him and being like that is a dude right there. Like I know his face or something? He’s got some real huggable dude energy.
Adding stars and eyeliner decoration to Johnny always a good choice, can’t go wrong with that.
This is so fun to see, thank you so much for sharing your personal engagement and creative feelings about story like this! I love when this story makes other people make things and have gender feelings. The best possible combo, I think.
We have a ton of new stuff dropping in ourPride Collection! The team decided we’d give all our tips for June toThe Trevor Project! We have raised money for them before, let’s see if we can beat our record this year! If you make a purchase, consider leaving a few bucks for a great cause.
From the bottom of my queer little heart, thank you ALL for supporting this teeny tiny indie business. You guys help me pay my admins, artist, and rent.
