THE BOTTOM LINE

I spent 40+ years surviving what shouldn't be survivable. Then I spent
years writing, illustrating, and building this brand—often while disabled,
caregiving, and without income.

This work is how I feed my kids. How I pay for Daisy. How I keep creating.

Please respect that. Support the Kickstarter. Buy from the shop. Share
authentically. Create fan art with love. Ask before using commercially.

And if you're a fellow creator who found this page because someone stole
YOUR work? I see you. Protect your art. It's worth it.
