I'm a comic creator for The Phoenix, a weekly children's comic. I also get too invested in advent calendars and I used to make webcomics. I'm 'eruditebaboon' on all the other apps.

I had an excellent time at Phoenix Fest over the weekend, meeting all the other incredible creators from @the-phoenix-comic.bsky.social, including my pixies collaborator, @andreasschuster.bsky.social, who I've never actually met in the flesh before, despite making four books together.
