Hey
#VisibleWoman
I'm Bex! I make comics about neurodiversity, mental health and FEEEEEELINGS. My goal is to use comics to communicate things that can be kinda hard to talk about

Happy ADHD month. After 6 months of living with a broken kitchen sink, I finally asked the landlord to fix it and it was fixed within five minutes

Happy Sunday to everyone else who just learned that NFTs are now taxable and failure to report income generated from them is a felony. Money laundering techbros are devastated. This is by no means the end of NFTs but it's definitely a huge win!!!

I've tried so many times to be better at being social but it only works in the short-term. I end up burning out, shutting down completely and not talking to anyone for weeks at a time (or longer). It's so frustrating to repeatedly fail on such a basic level

Me: I'm not the nonspeaking kind of autistic.
Me when overwhelmed: doesn't answer my emails/DMs, doesn't leave the house, and is unable to communicate with anyone other than my partner who I live with.
How did I only just realise that digital nonspeaking is still nonspeaking 🤪

Again, stop forcing artists to become 'influencers' and minor celebrities just to have a shot at being paid. ALL artists deserve to be considered for paid work, regardless of following. That's why we have portfolios. Hiring based on follower count CANNOT become the norm.

We're getting a lot better at talking about the more socially acceptable ways that mental health problems present themselves, but it's important that we also acknowledge the symptoms that aren't as cute. Irritability, pushing people away, ungratefulness... it's all a part of it.

I'm always wary of people who are there for me in a crisis, but refuse to celebrate my successes. Isolated incidents are mostly harmless; people have their own lives going on after all. But if it's a pattern, it's a good idea to look a little closer.

A common myth about autistic people is that we're all introverts who hate talking to people. Many of us love to socialise though, it's just that we need regular breaks!

Mental health is extremely messy. It can end friendships and ruin lives. Please be patient with people who are struggling. We may be distant, irritable, snappy or not fun to hang out with but we're doing our best. We need you to withhold judgement and be there when we're ready

Bodyshaming is more than fatphobia. It also includes (but is not limited to):
Small dick jokes
Large forehead jokes
Insults about facial features
Insulting someone's teeth
A criticism of someone is stronger when it's about their behaviour, rather than things they can't control

-finished, not perfect
-comics should only be 60% of ur actual skill
-work smart not hard
-it's 100% OK to just make up the perspective
-gesture > anatomy
-values > colour
-grow out, not up (networking)
-raise ur prices
-don't work for free
-rest is 50% of the creative cycle
Anyway, I actually wanna know. What's the best art advice someone gave you?? 🦑
