HUGE THANKS to @koyamaprovides for so much generos HUGE THANKS to @koyamaprovides for so much generosity towards the arts, the community, and to me personally! 😭💘 i admit i've already spent some of it on operating costs and ART SUPPLIES! 🪡🧵 Koyama Provides a $1,500 Grant to MariNaomi! "It's no secret that I have a soft spot for people who take the initiative to engage their communities. MariNaomi created the Cartoonists Databases and made them free for anyone to use. I hope that they are as widely used as I suspect they are. It's a ton of work and I've tried over the years to get Mari to take some grant funds in order to maintain the databases while they also continue working on their own new books. Probably tired of being bugged by me, they finally acquiesced and agreed to take a well-deserved grant." — Annie Koyama

my first rain frog tea pet has been given a loving my first rain frog tea pet has been given a loving home. i missed it so much, i had to make another (similar but not identical) frog for myself. here is my new little frog being "fed" for the first time. the idea is that its soul is born the first time it's fed, which means this is essentially a birthing video. 🙂 two of my four tea pets are still available for sale at @giantrobotstore if your gallery or store would like to carry my tea pets, please get in touch. i do not sell direct at this time. #teapet #teapets #rainfrog #slug #gongfucha
