Hey there Naola. I don't want to assume too much, but by your posts it seems like you're going through a really hard time right now - and rightfully so. We all are, some more than most. I just wanted to stop by and let you know that your art and presence online have meant a lot to me.

I hope to see much more in the future when the day to day grind is a little less oppressive, but even if not I hope it helps to know there's people far away who think highly of you, would miss you, and wish you nothing but the best.

Thank you very much. It means a lot for me. All people in Russia are now in great danger. Any of us may be in prison or even killed . Even for what I am writing now.

I hope sometime we can all live without fear. I feel so… as if the chaos army captured us. Like a Blood Pact. And it hurts me to look at every destroyed tree. My city was green. And now he is gray, concrete, dying. And everyone doesn’t care. I am too sensitive.

I desperately clinging for every positive thing in my life. Your comics too. Your art too.

I really love your art, your comics. Sometimes I re-read them when I feel bad. Thanks again. Such care makes my life easier.

Thanks for warm words. I continue to draw. Just it now takes more time and moral forces.

I’m so sorry, it must be a terribly powerless feeling watching the world around you change like that. The world is a pretty scary place at the moment, but coming on here and seeing your work and that of others makes it easier for me too. Thank fuck for these online communities.

Sometimes all you can do is take it one day at a time. I can’t honestly say if it’ll get better or not, but I’m pretty confident that no matter what happens we’ll still be shitposting and drawing comics, and humans have pretty much been doing that since forever so I don’t think we’ll lose that anytime soon.

I’ve been working on some drawings recently so I’ll make sure to update on here soon if this is where you’re keeping an eye on. I’ll keep an eye out for you too. Xx

Dear Kaiser, I am a big fan of your content. I was inspired by your Dreadwatch comics, I would like to make a squad or two of scions in the colours of the Delphic Manticores. Could you please provide a fuller reference sheet for the Manticores so that I could do my best in realising your vision?

Hey friend, literally nothing would please me more - but it’s very hard to pick my head up these days. That’s exactly the kind of project I would love to facilitate though, and a sheet I’d like to make, so I’ll try my best - it might just be a little while. 

Side note to apologize about the rest of my unanswered asks in my inbox, I see and appreciate them, it’s just been a tough year. 2020 wasn’t a good time to immigrate to a new country.
