Hi there! My name is Pyra and I'm a cartoon-aholic. And a rock-aholic. I grew up on all the cheesy sleazy 80s hair metal bands then later got turned onto 70s punk in junior high. These come together in my art in my comics, sketchbooks, and paintings which I work on and show off here.

My life is infested with cartoon rats (one of my main projects is Ricky B. the Rock N Roll Rat, featuring a punk rock rat-man slogging it out in the low-levels of the recording studio biz) and cartoon brats (my other project, Noah's Archipelago, features stay-at-home-dude Noah Thorsen, who sings in cover bands when not shirking housework or butting heads with his snotty 8 year old daughter Ursula or his mother-in-law Agnes).

Thanks for stopping by - enjoy the art!

Still got a scratchy throat and cough when I talk, so no livestream tonight. I'm hoping I'll be better for inking Ricky tomorrow night but it's starting to look like Monday. Very annoying.

No stream tonight as I'm kinda under the weather and no one needs to hear me cough while I draw. Hopefully I'm better by tomorrow's scheduled stream but we'll play it by ear.

ICYMI: Last Wednesday I started inking an abandoned 2013 reboot of my first webcomic, Zamo the Destroyer, which I will then put into a collection of the Zamo comics I plan to self-publish later this year as a sort-of coda.

Found my old proportional scale a couple if weeks ago (that I had completely forgotten not only that I had one but that such things even exist) and it’s already been making life so much easier when planning projects.

They still sell them on Amazon and if you do any kind of work that involves reduction I strongly recommend getting one.
