Hi guys, it’s Skye!
I don’t know how many of you are still hanging around on Tumblr, but I really want to get back to making these comics consistently. In order to help achieve that goal, I’m going to try something I’ve been meaning to try for a while now: Patreon. If you don’t know what Patreon is, it’s a platform where you can contribute financially on a regular basis (usually monthly) to support your favorite content creators, and get little “perks” and exclusive rewards! I’m a little nervous because I don’t know how much support I’ll get, but I think it’ll be worth trying? I’m still working on the details but keep an eye out for an official announcement soon!
In other news, life has been really different since having my daughter. Motherhood can bring a very interesting kind of loneliness and isolation. I’m doing okay, and I’m excited to get back to illustration and comics after being gone for so long. I also want to apologize for any messages I missed while I was away. If you want to talk, hit me up! I’d love to hear how you’re all doing.

One of the custom comics I drew for my highest tier backers on Kickstarter! I’ll be posting the rest on here periodically. Just to clarify, these were not included in the actual book! I just drew them specifically for specific people who backed $100+ (:

It’s been a long wait, but I’m finally selling copies of my book!
“For When You Can’t Sleep At Night” is a collection of short comics about depression, emotional well-being, and the general anxieties and dejections of life. It’s a 56-pg, soft-cover, full-color book. Some of the comics have already been published on this tumblr over the years, but most of them have not and will never be!
BONUS: Comes with one sticker sheet! Sticker sheet contains 10 glossy and easy-to-peel stickers. (C’mon, everyone loves stickers.)
I have a limited number of copies, so go on over to my online store if you’d like to snag one! http://skyeali.tictail.com/
“It feels like driving down a road at night and somewhere along the way you realize all the other cars have disappeared, and you don’t know how you know this but you’re absolutely sure that this road will never, ever end.”

Hey everyone! My Kickstarter has officially launched! I AM MAKING A BOOK!! AHHH!! It will be a 60-page collection of short comics about depression, emotional well-being, self-care, mental illness, the stigma around mental illness, and seeking help. About 15 of the comics will be ones I’ve already published on this tumblr, but the majority will be absolutely brand new.
As of right now I am FULLY FUNDED! (I can’t believe it T_T) If you are still compelled to back this project though, more funds = better quality product, and more books that I can print. There are also cool rewards that I’ve included for different pledge amounts, including a physical copy of the final book.
I’d love any kind of support, even if you could just spread the word – but honestly, you guys have been the driving force behind this whole thing. I can’t express my gratitude for all of the beautiful messages I’ve received, whether heartbreaking or encouraging (or both). I’ve been completely blown away by the response on this blog over the years, and that is hands down the reason why I finally decided to make a book. My aim is to create more spaces for discussion about these topics, and hopefully through this project I can bring more people together. Thank you for all your love – I will now get to work on finishing the best quality book possible! (p.s. don’t worry, I will still post other comics on this tumblr!)
UPDATE!
The project has successfully reached its fund goal in less than 24 hours, and so I’ve decided to introduce a stretch goal. If the project reaches $2,000 in pledges, everyone who pledged $25+ will receive a sticker sheet in the mail!
Here is a prototype of the sticker sheet; if/when we reach $2,000, I will post the final version!
AHHHH!! STICKERS!!!
