"They Adopted A Cat"
OMG this is the person who made the "Raven", "Beast Boy" and "Beast Boy loves Raven' comics! I love those :0
Beast boy has a healing factor. He wouldn't have scratches long enough to put band aids on his arms. He's right up there with Wolverine for comparison.
That's why even for wolverine, there are exceptions

He shared that when he's not drawing for work or for himself, he enjoys playing video games and traveling. "It always ends up inspiring me to draw more."
We were curious to learn how his journey as a comic artist began. "I always liked cartoons and anime, and at some point, I discovered that they came from another place (comics and manga). I started consuming this content and wanted to emulate the stories I liked, that's when I became interested in creating illustrations and then comics."
"He’s Learning How To Cook"
I would like to announce to everyone that there is, in fact, a duck, and it is important
"I'm Telling You, It Isn't Just One Following Me This Time!"
"More than drawing, I love telling stories through drawings, that's why I decided I wanted to make comics. Even when I draw a single illustration, the narrative is my favorite element," Picolo explained when talking about how the stories and characters came to be.

"Surprise Birthday Party"
Right now, Picolo has more than 3.6 million followers on Instagram and hundreds of thousands on other social media platforms, like Twitter or TikTok. We wanted to know if he ever imagined he would have so many admirers. "I never imagined that there would be so many people from so many parts of the world following my drawings! It all started in 2014 when I did a project where I created a drawing for each day of the year. My work eventually went viral and never stopped."
"The House Party"
Blackfire (Starfire's sister) kissed robin Starfire's boyfriend whilst drunk Starfire fire got angry then upset. Not sure if raven is sh1t stirring or if things are out of order
I think Raven took a video to show that Blackfire kissed Robin not the other way around because, I'm guessing, Starfire just saw the kiss so she thinks they kissed each other when Blackfire was just stirring the pot like she does.

Picolo didn't pursue formal education to become an artist. "I always studied on my own, from online tutorials and books."
