A Fresh Start in my new job

Hey everyone, I’ve got some good news—I just started a new job as a graphic designer!

After a long, tough journey, I finally landed a position that (so far) feels promising. My first day went well—no weird vibes, no unnecessary pressure—just me doing what I do best: designing.

I was nervous going in, given my past experiences, but the work felt familiar, and I made it through the day without feeling overwhelmed. That alone is a win. I really hope this job turns out to be a good one.

Workplaces can be unpredictable, but I want to believe this time will be different. For now, I’m taking it one day at a time. Cosmic Funnies is still here, and I’ll keep posting whenever I can. Thanks to everyone who’s stuck around—here’s to better days ahead!

Patreon Ideas?

I’ve been thinking about how to bring my Patreon back in a way that feels fun and manageable. I want it to be a space where those who love Cosmic Funnies can support it while getting something special in return. That’s where you come in!

What would you like to see? Would early access to comics be interesting? Or maybe behind-the-scenes sketches and notes on my creative process? I’ve also thought about making exclusive mini comics—fun facts or character moments that wouldn’t be posted anywhere else.

Another idea is digital rewards like wallpapers or printable stickers. Something simple but fun to collect each month. I’ve also considered letting patrons vote on future comic topics, so you’d have a say in what gets illustrated.

I want Patreon to feel like an extension of Cosmic Funnies, a place to enjoy space facts and cute art together. If you have any suggestions, I’d love to hear them! What perks would make you excited to support Cosmic Funnies? Let me know!

It's my 13 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Struggling to Create but Still Here

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to check in and let you know I’m still here. It’s been tough creating new content lately. A lot has happened—being wrongfully terminated from my job because of my learning disability, dealing with my mom’s progressing dementia, and struggling financially after my financial aid for my master’s program ran out. All of it has made it hard to find the motivation to create or even function some days.

Most days, I’m just sleeping, and when I do work on illustrations, it’s random and slow because chronic fatigue and depression make everything feel heavy. I really want to get back into creating because when I’m not working on my series, I feel so empty, like I have no purpose. I’ve also wanted to focus on my online store, but it’s been hard to get into the right headspace. I hate feeling like this—crying all the time, sleeping all day, not eating, and thinking I’m a failure.

I just hope I can find my creative spark again. Thank you for sticking with me through all of this. I hope you’re all having a great day.
