read this thread, the entire thread, because my god we need people in this industry to learn what comics are and how they are made. every one of these posts rang true and hit home w my own experiences

I sure love living in an apartment with thin walls next to a nocturnal hard of hearing guy who parties, especially as someone who doesn’t fall asleep (or back asleep) easily

HA! Apparently some artists on Twitter are doing this very silly watermarking in an apparent attempt to befuddle the AI edits. I don't think it'll be effective, but it is ridiculous. Just get outta there already and come here!!

It just dawned on me- the actor who plays Jonathan Byers in Stranger Things looks like a real life Gorillaz character

Heads up, fellow LA fans! MediaOCD will be having our FIRST BOOTH EVER at @animelosangeles.bsky.social this weekend, along with a panel where we will announce something exciting! Come see us, make it all worth it please, this is a lot

I need strength… I need motivation… I need

It’s National Bird Day! Here’s a few things you can do to help the birds in our homes, in the wild, and on farms. Shares are appreciated. 🪶

I did not know this. Quagsire is best boy. I think they deserve a cuter sounding name though.

Happy new year!

OMGGGG Images of the first completed prototype of the Greg the Moose plush I designed for @sapientapegames.bsky.social's Speed Cicleta board game kickstarter campaign! So cute!! The board game itself is also looking awesome. EXCITE

I spent some real effort to make a pumpkin curry recipe I found. It’s good but… too spicy for my wussy stomach 🥲 I already added extra coconut milk, but maybe I’ll mix in a runny fried egg when having the leftovers? HOW TO SWITCH TO BABY MODE🍛

Dog Fluxx is off to the printer for its 2026 release after a thorough sniffing by Chai, who owns our graphic designer, Morgan! Are you ready to bring the tail-waggin’ card game of ever-changing rules to your game table? Available at your FLGS or online retailer this March!

Uhh.. on a whim I responded to a local job listing looking for an artist to do a nursery mural in their home. Surprise- they like my art but now I have to figure out how much to charge/how long it will take me + materials because I haven’t painted on a wall since school…? Any mural resources anyone?

Sounds like something a slop gobbler would say. These guys are incredible pros at saying a bunch of words that mean absolutely nothing.

Happy New Year, friends! I seem to go into each new year more traumatized than the last, but I did have a few nice wins, and I can only hope 2026 is better for everyone. I did start the year right with a 1000ft elevation hike with good friends followed by a greasy rueben.

Going by the picture they used.. 93% of murders are solved by consulting the victim’s pet parrot because the parrot (lovebird) was the murderer.

"WHAT'D THEY DO TO US??"

Going into 2026 like

#3201 A whole year of naked bird ladies!

Ah yes, the traditional New Years Eve thick blanket fog has enveloped Seattle, so as usual no one will be able to see the Space Needle fireworks and lights

My sincere wish for all of us in 2026 is we all keep makin' art! Good, bad, stinky – it doesn't matter! Let's keep making things. ✏️💨

Somehow this swatch test sheet I made for my new GuangNa markers is very visually satisfying. Even though I needed way less real estate than I thought

Awesome things I love: weirdly being exhausted enough to fall asleep twice during the day, then when I go to bed for the night and fall asleep late, have the smoke detector fully go off for no reason 1.5 hrs later

I really wanted to finish this portfolio piece before the end of the year, but that's probably not happening (unless I go nuts tomorrow). Tonight I am paralyzed with indecision and feeling too anxious and weird to do art! Anyway, here's a preview of the work in progress anyway.🧜‍♀️

Ended up staying up a little late to keep playing with the markers. Default doodles: critters and elves.

Was very excited to try the big set of GuangNa acrylic markers I got for Christmas. I decided to use one of @mikemelton.bsky.social’s gorgeous tropical bird photos as reference for a test drive! #acrylicmarkers #paintmarkers #bird #birdart

Sharing 2025 anime picks again for the earlier crowd

It's that time! Time to shamelessly display how much anime I watch and shockingly I somehow watched more this year. As always, kind of impossible to rank, I almost never finish a series that's worse than a B-. Lots of great continuing series this year, but new and fresh stuff too. #anime #2025anime

I've got a trickle of new follows, so I'll reintroduce myself! I'm Robin- worked in videogames for 10 yrs, now a freelance illustrator. My life fell apart 1.5 yrs ago- still picking up the pieces but trying to post art when I can! I'm an Elder Weebsmen- watch a lot of tv/anime and have opinions.

Winter Wrens enjoy being near water. This little chonker popped up to the boardwalk and is about to hop back down to the stream.

Went to Kinokuniya to buy a weeb gift for someone… ended up buying stuff for me 😅 It was birb and husbando, I can’t be responsible

It's okay, you don't have to do engagement tricks and the commercialized shtick here; you can just be a person and post art, it's gonna be okay, it's gonna be alright I know twitter taught you this & sucked your soul out & art memes became the only way to communicate it's over now, you can be free

#3197 I'm wishing on a star... but not this one.

Ok this came up in discussion tonight and I’m putting the call out- does anyone have the version of this image with the multiple discount/clearance stickers on it? It’s one the best pics ever and neither @worldofcrap.bsky.social or I can find it!

Pssst... You're still up? You got all that Grandma money burning a hole in your pocket? We just added new Discotek closeouts to the MediaOCD store. Hana Yori Dango, Pizza Cats JPN, restocked Lupin Pt2 and more! www.mediaocd.com/category/ons...

Pleased with this holiday card art I did for mediaOCD 🕊️ Birbs and deranged birbs- my wheelhouse

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! 🎄 And my heart to those having a hard time. Things have been shitty for me and many others, but I am grateful for the kindness and generosity of my friends, family, and cool BlueSky folks ☺️

Raphsody: A musical adventure is very cute but it is also very unfortunate the second character you ever meet is named “Sharte”

With another influx of Twitter escapees, I just want to say- y’all are free to put me in lists and starter packs. You don’t even have to ask! (Although this better be for positive “art/game/anime people I like” and not “List of dumb assholes”

I got my first ever client gift of some holiday chocolates!! So nice! ☺️

Remember to leave out milk and cookies for the Christmas Toilet Rat

don't give up fat tanuki

Jinshi and smol Jinshi are done! Wish I had some gloss varnish for the hair but oh well. #jinshi #apothecarydiaries #jinmao #fanart #kusuriyanohitorigoro

The 1998 ps1 rhythm game Bust a Groove features uncredited vocals from the Japanese singer Crystal Kay from when she was 11 yrs old. (The song Shorty and the EZ Mouse). My mind was blown when I learned this obscure-ass fact

I have made progress! One more sanding and then ready to paint! #kusuriyanohitorigoto #apothecarydiaries #sculpting #fanart #jinshi

Holiday home tip: accidentally spill half a bottle of garam masala powder all over the floor. After that, it will smell pleasantly of holiday spice any time you use the hand vac.

Say what you will about the pledge of allegiance, the real propaganda that is stuck in my brain for life, ready to trigger me into some Manchurian Candidate mode at any second is the old Christmas Fruity Pebbles commercial. “Ho ho ho, in hu hu hungry”
