I needed to draw a joyful sparrow for the mini-comic I'm working on, & I think this fits the bill (ba-da-bump! Sorry, couldn't resist...). Drawing this sparrow made *me* joyful. What's giving *you* a boost these past few days? Big or small, I'd love to know. Let's amplify the bright moments by sharing them!

Also, holy crap, the holidays are almost here! And _First Flight_, my chapbook of poetry comics & graphic mini-memoir, makes a great gift. You can find chapbooks, prints, and stickers in a variety of combinations in my store, or you can just order the chapbook for $15 — shipping to US addresses is free!

I haven't had a chance to figure out Canadian shipping for art-print packages yet, but I'll happily do this upon request. Message me here or email me at akire-at-akire-dot-art if you're interested, and I'll figure out pricing for you & get that set up.
So tell me - what's making you even just a little bit happy these days?
