Throwback Friday is Throwback Thursday if you feel asleep on the floor of your lounge room (not even the couch) and don’t press post until Friday.
Sometimes I was so tired when I was drawing the things I just couldn’t even color boot! It bugs me and I always want to go back and fix it… but there are many things to do in the NOW.
Comic “462: Boot You” has finally been colored and updated!
And, and! This now exists in the world.
I am without ink and I’m not sure I ever will be. I’m so honored someone would love one of my characters and like my art enough to decide it would be permanent art. Boot will always been in my heart, and now other places too.
Thank you for this honor, Sandra Odell, author of many fine and gritty tales http://writerodell.com/

There is an alchemy that happens when you create in service. For me, it gives me a freedom as well as a responsibility. I may be stretched and asked for things that are a little beyond my comfort zone. I must hit a deadline, create the best experience, use my doubts to fuel energy, research, doing and completion, rather than letting those same doubts spiral down into self-defeating anxiety.
You can tell the difference, the alchemy when you look at this reflective blog post (nice, sure, but I’m burying the lead, I’m guiding you into something rather than bravely just going for it) and the blog post I wrote for Uncanny Magazine that went live today! In that post I get straight to the heart of it.
I am Liz, creator of the Things. Thank you so much to everyone who nominated me for a Hugo, simply making it to the long list was one of the best feelings I’ve had this year.
I am launching a Patreon. Patronage does so much! I would love your support. Thank you for supporting me, and thank you for supporting Uncanny Magazine.
^ Only more eloquent, because I was writing it for them, not me. Here is what I wrote for them
THIS IS A VERY LONG WAY OF SAYING my Patreon is live. Through that website, you can nourish creators like me for as little as $1 a month. I can already feel how it’s motivating me as a creator, I want to book more shows and reach out to my neighbors more. I would love your support. Thank you for reading this and go check it out!
On August 22 I will launch my Patreon. I’m so excited about it.
Patreon is a nifty place where folks like us can support creators we like
I’m excited about how it can be a central platform, bringing together stuff I do at Thingswithout.com, lizargall.com and in other places. I’ll do logistical updates here, but Patreon will be a fun place to share cool stuff, creative stuff and create a great space for you to give feedback.
