I wanted to thank you all for being a fantastic community.

One night in Burbank, California, a friend of mine and I were sitting around a heat lamp at an artist expo when she suddenly went, "You know what'd be cool? Cowboys that rode on pegasi." At the time we laughed about it and brainstormed ideas until finally everyone went to bed. But on the plane back home to the Midwest I started drawing the very first pegasi... and I never really stopped. That was 6ish years ago. Today the Sky Cowboys artbook is funded at 368%!

But what's important here is that I couldn't have done it without all of you - from the likers, rebloggers, askers, and lurkers here on Tumblr, to the SC Discord crowd, to my loyal patrons. All of you banded together and made this project a reality - and not just the book. The whole SC world is alive and well in large part due to all of you <3

So even after the book is printed, signed, and shipped I'll keep Sky Cowboys going. I'm thinkin' a web comic next!

I also wanted to give special thanks to @evergreena, @inkfire-scribe, Starsilver, W0lfPupper, and Britny (the aforementioned friend). May your scarves stay true, sky blue!

#huge thanks #not enough words for my feeeeelings #sky cowboys #onwards and upwards #this project really took flight huh

The WGA strike has ended with a positive outcome for writers. Neil Gaiman is taking out his Good Omens season 3 post it notes. 8 Days until the gay pirates destroy any remaining braincells that Crowley and Aziraphale have left behind. Today is a good day.

I don’t want to dignify the former owner and chairman of WWE by mentioning them by name or referencing any of the abominable, despicable things that came out about them in the last day or so, but I will say this; good riddance motherfucker. A prime example of a coercive, controlling sociopath who’s been so used to getting what they want, that they literally thought they were untouchable and could do whatever they wanted to whom ever they wanted. It’s not bad enough you ruined pro wrestling for the longest time, but you’ve taken to actively ruining peoples lives as well. So long, and stay gone this time, this will be the last time you’re ever mentioned on this blog.

Update on the VN - I am actually working on it! I downloaded ren'py and have learned how to actually do the basics, like images. And words. And sounds. Oh my

From the bottom of my heart, thank you SO much for your help and words of encouragement with my fic dilemma yesterday. After much thought, I’m not going to delete what I wrote, but may take it in a different direction instead. Thank you all again!!!

mkay gonna spill tea cause I officially turned it down but I got offered a position as a festival screener for the SXSW film festival but was not aware that they weren’t paying people so I had to let that go quickly. 

the best they could do was offer a festival badge but it wasn’t even a top tier one skskss 

and like, I’m at a point in my career where I can be a bit picky about the opportunities I take on. This is something I dreamed of doing and being at this point in my career so early on is beyond me. I am nothing short of happy and blessed to be able to do so. 

as much as I would love to be in Texas for a festival I’ve always dreamed of going to and knowing how good that would’ve looked on my resume, this is the growth that hurts a little but is necessary! 

#how are you still not paying people in 2023 #just terrible #I can't eat experience! #onwards and upwards #now that’s what i call blogging

Copying this from my IG (sorry to those who’ve already read it) :

That feeling when you strike the final, deadly blow to the last of the demons of the past, crossing into the future with the knowledge that it’s YOURS, finally. After years of struggling to regain everything that was lost, today I have officially stopped catching up, stopped retreading the same path I’d taken many times before, and have finally broken into the new and exciting ground of being at my official lowest weight as an adult. I’m finally free from the memories and parallels to what I tried five years ago, and I can bask in the peace of knowing no one else gets *this* victory. It’s all mine.

I have this image in my mind, of past Laurel sitting in the middle of a road, stuck, waiting, a dark shadow looming over her. And then me now, walking up behind her, stopping as I reach her, leaning down and giving her a long, tight hug and a grateful smile, and then turning to face the brightest, warmest ray of sunshine and continuing to walk forward, swallowed by light.

I couldn’t have gotten here without that past version of myself. She taught me so much, even though I spent so much of my life hating her and being ashamed. I don’t feel either of those things anymore. I feel strength, I feel compassion, I feel gratitude, and I feel love. For all of the past versions of myself that worked together to bring me to this place. Onwards and upwards, no more looking back now.

This truly is my happy beginning now. ✨

The Big Day

It was foretold that I would eventually play my original music in front of people. That I would make a difference and manage to help as many other artists along the way as possible. That one day I could make a living doing something I loved to do, and that together we would ascend to the skies and commit arson to spite those who bought their way into heaven.

Now in the early morning darkness I ponder how we got here. From 14 to 19, 5 years. Over 2000 youtube uploads. Hundreds of hours writing, preforming, practising, learning learning learning... 3 albums of original music. Lots of waiting and planning.

Now here I am at what appears to be the beginning of the next chapter, and I cannot thank you enough.

For anyone who is coming (and also for posterity since I don't know how much of this I'll be able to record) the setlist is as follows:

Alex G - Soaker Were You Dropped on the Head Paper Skies Alex G - Nintendo 64 Dogs The Book was Better The Front Bottoms - Twin Sized Mattress

It'll be about 27 minutes long. Every other band playing is amazing. And my heart is full. I'm incredibly hopeful, which was not really the case only half a year ago. So again, thank you.

There is a little demon that sits on my shoulder and wakes me up each night with crazy ideas. It was fortold that I could do the things I tried to do if I went after them against all odds. Despite the many people who told me it was not possible... In fact, maybe to spite those people I have pushed onwards all this time. And we're only just getting started.

But I can't tell you how incredible it is to be able to put time and immense effort into something and then see it pay off. I've spent a lot of time working towards something that always seemed entirely out of range or reach, like building a tower to the sky. Nimrod can suck it:)

LOOK AT THESE!! I cannot believe it. We have CDs of the shitty albums I made. I'm going to lose my mind.

I'm going to be trying something new at the show for the song The Book was Better. It'll either be really cool or incredibly lame, but no matter what it will be invaluable to learn from.

I'm a bit nervous as I'm just... Me. Every other act is a seasoned full band, and I'm incredibly excited to see them preform tonight. But I will do my best with naught but an acoustic guitar and a hope.

There is not much else left to say. Just wanted to get it down on digital paper, thanks for reading!! It was fortold that I could make "it". Whatever the strange "it" might be. I used to think if one person listen to my music and found something useful in it the way I found catharsis writing it, my life would be fulfilled. I think I was right.

But who is this prophet? Who is the one that fortold all this insane nonsense? It was I you fool. And my point in saying this is, stop waiting for a guide to lead you by the hand to a world you want. Become your own sacrifice. You can make "it". We all will make it. See you tonight (and if not, see you in the next video!!).

Also, tiny desk contest entry just got accepted:) (another thing I'd greatly encourage any and all artists who make music to submit to every year)
