I have a whole bunch of crazy talented friends. Let’s show you what they can do.

Illustrating, and cartooning, are skills I’m utterly blown away by. I can’t draw for shit – let alone create something hilarious or political or heartwrenching or all three.

But I’m lucky enough to have friends who can, and there’s a lot of great work out there. So here’s a few of my picks.

Jem Yoshioka – www.jemshed.com

She’s the creator of Pineapple Cat, my banner and Nope gif, the comic Sunshine, and many other amazing things.

Hayley Heartbreak – misshayleyheartbreak.tumblr.com

Recently gaining international acclaim for her portrait for the royals during their tour of NZ, Hayley claims her place in my heart for these two jewels.
