Reminder reminder: the Smut Peddler Kickstarter has just about ONE DAY (27 hours as I type this!!) for you to get in an’ get your sweet artist-supporting, mostly-lady-made pornographic comics! Here’s the first four pages from my *sixteen page* story I dropped, titled Fixer Upper. If you wanna see the rest, you’ve got to buy the book… so get on it already!

I’m in a jam! I’d like to make some $$ so that I can afford a plane ticket to go see my boyfriend’s graduation in another state. He is my love and I’d like to support him. I’d also like to do normal things like buy groceries because being a starving artist is lame-o, so hey! Feel bad yet? Here are a couple of ways to help me out:

1) Commission me BY THE HOUR! Instead of a flat rate, you pay however much you want, tell me what medium you want it in, and I will translate that amount into time drawing you something cute! You can pay a lot for a gorgeous, lavish watercolor, or only a tiny bit for a quick digital sketch. It’s up to you! I will draw anything. I will draw you Homestuck porn, or a portrait of you and your dog, or buckets of kittens mewing tenderly. Anything. Obviously, the more you spend, the prettier it’ll be and the less you spend the faster/more sketchy it’ll look. Money gets you details and color and perfection, my friends. If you’d like to own the physical copy of your traditional art, you also need to cover S&H. Message me on here or drop me an email (pinkpupcake@gmail.com) to discuss what you want!

2) Support Smut Peddler. Every time you put out the word, every time you put in $$ for a backer status, every time someone splurges on porn, the artists who made it actually get paid. It’s glorious. I love it. You’ve got less than three days, get on that shit! (but I don’t think I’ll get said bonus before I have to buy my plane ticket, so if you want to help me out immediately go with options 1, 3 or 4.)

3) Buy zines from my etsy store. I got ‘em. You want ‘em. Recipes, silly comics, general photocopied foolishness.

4) I also opened a Society6 account, but don’t know what to offer for prints. If there’s something you’d love to get a print of, let me know so that I can get it in the shop!

Here’s some stuff I ate in the past two days!

1) These peanuts. THESE PEANUTS. I can’t get enough of them. It’s nice to have a high-protein snack around! They’re covered in tapioca and *don’t have any soy or msg!!!* (really hard to find in an asian snack food) so they fit my bill.

2) Avocados are so plentiful around here. And incorporating one into a meal is a great way to stay sated thanks to all the healthy fats n shit, so T and I eat them a lot. Avo + cheap pico de gayo + cumin + lemon juice = quick guacamole. Also getting local salsa is just $0.50 more than Trader Joe’s and way more delicious, so pair that up with some plantain chips and I’m good.

3) Mystery cheap soup! Rice noodles, cost fifty cents, fake chicken flavoring?? Also no msg or soy again, score! It was kind of bleh but for that cheap I might stock up. Also pictured, vodka + orange/peach/mango juice from Trader Joe’s which is just a quick jaunt up the street.

4) We also live right down the block from a neat little Asian market, so I can get cool veggie-friendly stuff. Like canned green jackfruit in water.

5) And then I turn around and turn that jackfruit into mock-pork carnitas! I don’t have all the ingredients other recipes call for since we just moved and my pantry is bare - oregano? Mexican coke? Cinnamon? - but I doctored them up good and the result was great. Definitely not umami enough, but once I broiled and crisped it all up in the oven it hit the shredded-smokey-sweet craving. And they were even better the next day, so I think I’ll make all jackfruit recipes a day in advance and then crisp ‘em up when it’s time to eat. 

I started a food + recipe blog! Because I need another blog to keep up, sigh. Go look at what I eat, I’ll probably update it a lot because eating is necessary for life
