I'm now seeing people writing on Substack where the url of an individual post is no longer username(dot)substack(dot)com/post but substack(dot)com/username/post, in case we were wondering where it is on the "turning into social media" trajectory.

Sketch/study in #HEAVYPAINT

I recently watched an oldish Bollywood movie after a long time, and you know what, it IS really weird that people just start singing out of nowhere.

Might just watch these men be absolutely delighted all day, on repeat

I wrote this two years ago – seven years after I quit smoking – and people have told me it helped them in various ways. www.adityab.net/thoughts-on-...

Totally missed this when it happened a month ago, but it's now been nine years since I quit smoking.

She soon learns that the house breeds books.

RIP Peter Watkins, one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. I haven't said much about his work bc it is one of those topics so huge that I don't feel adequate to the task. But here is a podcast I did with @danielharper.bsky.social on Punishment Park. idontspeakgerman.libsyn.com/unlocked-bon...

People talking about Peter Watkins (RIP) and his brilliant Punishment Park, sharing their thoughts. As they should, it is genuinely a masterpiece. My review. boxd.it/8YIgRx

@thorazos.bsky.social's webstore has been restocked w new books! Her career-spanning collection World Within the World, her new minicomic Children of the Garbage Island, handbound collections of her minis & her OOP graphic novel Vision, and an erotic Andor fanart zine! www.etsy.com/shop/thorazos/

the obsession with "retirement" as some sort of natural end state to a life of productive work is ridiculous, another symptom of millennial entitlement skewing public opinion. instead, consider taking "microretirements" throughout your career, perhaps between 12am-6am

More Monday stress...

Many months ago, Ram hit me up to ask if I'd consider unretiring for one last thing. I asked him what he had in mind. He'd decided not to renew at DC, and said he wanted to step away from superheroes, as well as just monthly DM comics. I thought it over. I said yes. www.tcj.com/you-have-to-...

La gare de triage de Longue-Pointe, basée sur une photo de 2001. La fonderie à gauche n'existe plus, les trains non plus, mais c'est une de mes photos préférée à vie. Amour infini pour la friche de l'Est :)

We don't talk enough about the brilliant work that artist Jesse Santos did for bottom-of-the-barrel comic publishers like Gold Key. Just look at this Doctor Spektor cover art!

A commission of Yosser from "Boys from the Blackstuff" that I drew for Play For Forever (www.youtube.com/channel/UCn5...), an incredible archive of British films and TV plays 🙏

I don't understand how anybody at Dropbox still has a job after what they've done to their product in the last decade.

The PAST TIME trade paperback is out today! From myself, @russellmarkolson.bsky.social and @madcavestudios.com!

My wife goes for a poo only in the upstairs toilet. When she does, I go for a poo in the downstairs toilet hoping that her poo and my poo will meet in the pipes. No idea why.

Update on Project Pixel Panels: Almost done creating the regular version. I think this is going to be your next indie font selection.

If you know basic kabbalah it's actually not too hard to make a golem out of a labubu. Don't recommend it though. They have a pre-existing body-dharma. As soon as they wake they run straight for the sea. V hard to counter. Lost the first one. No idea what it's doing out there. Moved like lightning.

TTWF Official poster is out! Get your tickets booked & look out for my scratchy, inky art on screens… (Cumberbatch is a bit bloody good too)

Letter from the advertising department at The Lady magazine, 1977

Join us this Tuesday, October 14th at 8pm ET on our Discord, to discuss THESE SAVAGE SHORES: THE DEFINITIVE EDITION created by @therightram.bsky.social, @artofsumit.bsky.social, Vittorio Astone, & @adityab.net. Along These Savage Shores, where the days are scorched and the nights are full of teeth.

Just announced!

whenever i encounter people who say they can't understand shakespeare verses I always send them this clip from the 2019 Shakespeare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing

As DC Vertigo is coming with his classic logo, let's all praise its designer, the great RICHARD BRUNING. He was DC art director for years and thanks to him we have Watchmen, The Dark Knight or The Killing Joke designs...

Just announced at NYCC! A new Vertigo series from Grace and I about fandom, obsession... and parasocial chaos :)

BLEEDING HEARTS! @denizcamp.bsky.social on a typewriter, @matthollingsworth.com with a paint roller and me with chikin' leg voodoo pencils, almost like grabbing a live wire!

Yeah. I'm back working with Vertigo after all these years and loving it, loving my collaborators.

I am dealing with a “thorny problem” right now, today. It is hard and scary because IT IS ALWAYS HARD AND SCARY. But it is also where you do your best work. It is where stories go from “meh” to “WOW”. When I fix it - because that is the job - I will be that much closer to something worth reading.

The news is out!!! Brutal Dark, the new series by myself and @christophcondon.bsky.social is coming from VERTIGO in 2026!! Meet Ezra Caine, our Nazi-Punching-New-Yorking- P.I!
