Ok, Stallone and Schwarzenegger were the big dogs, but for my money, Kurt Russell was the best action star of the 80's.

The actress who played the little girl Newt in Aliens just turned 50. Yeah, that hurts.

Music used to be a much bigger part of my process. I even used to make massive playlists in the same vibe of the project to stay in that headspace. Somewhere along the line, music got replaced by tv, movies and podcasts (live plays like Dimension20 mostly). I kinda miss it.

Musk sure is quiet these days. On one hand, it is nice to not have to hear his lying delusional ass all of the time, but on the other hand, I want him to face the consequences of his bullshit every minute of every day.

Once again, Snake Plisken is on point.

Did you know outdoor cats have half the lifespan of indoor cats on average?

If only someone in history had warned us about the dangers of giving Ai mechanical bodies and weapon systems.

Look what I found! My art on a metal poster thingy. That's kinda neat! No, I don't get a piece. That's not how Marvel works, but if you buy one and bring it to a con, I'll happily sign it for you. displate.com/displate/557...

Controversial opinion: Chicken wings suck

The folks at @smashpages.bsky.social shared this cover from an upcoming issue of BABS: THE BLACK ROAD SOUTH by Garth Ennis and @jacen-art.bsky.social. Are you reading what @aiptcomics.com calls "one of the most gloriously unhinged fantasy comics of the last several years”?

Snake said it best.

Just curious. Name an industry you are ok with replacing with Ai "workers"? Are there ANY that are better without people?

What do you think the odds are of the Avatar movies ending with the monkey boy and Sigourney Weaver's navi making a dumb little hybrid monkeycat baby? And it'll still make a $billion

Once, long ago, I was at one of my first comicons and I spotted someone who was a comicbook creator I idolized. I walked up to his table, portfolio in hand, and introduced myself as someone who wanted to draw comics in the future and a big fan of **redacted 80's comic**.

My latest internet rabbit hole is ferrier videos. Watching hoof trimming and putting on new horseshoes is oddly fascinating.

I painted a cover for Garth Ennis and @jacen-art.bsky.social’s BABS, brought to you by the lovely people at @ahoycomicmags.bsky.social! It was a JOY! The issue is on the stands on May 20th. (Painted in oil on wood.)

Weed used to have seeds in it. All of the weed did, and they popped when they got hot. Joint rotation was like hot potato.

"A punch-drunk dragon, a lord of evil with a mincing machine, an interesting barbarian subculture and some dodgy goings-on atop a mountain of fire." Garth Ennis tells @ollymacnamee.bsky.social at @thecomicon.bsky.social what to expect in BABS: THE BLACK ROAD SOUTH. Issue #2 hits stores Wednesday!

If this is the future, where the hell is my Tachikoma?

This is what Nicolás Maduro did in Venezuela. Nationalize voting, then clamp down on journalists and appoint only partisan judges. Becoming a dictator one step at a time. 🗽

I enjoy the sound of a lot of different accents, but I think Nigerian may be my favorite.

Just finished Babs: The Black Road South #1 by Garth Ennis & @jacen-art.bsky.social from @ahoycomicmags.bsky.social.

I wonder what would've happened if Frank Durabont had been able to stay on The Walking Dead as show runner for the entirety of the original series.

"BABS definitely veers away from the grim, humorless tradition in fantasy that seems to take itself so terribly seriously." Garth Ennis talks BABS: THE BLACK ROAD SOUTH with @aiptcomics.com. Issue #1 of the sword & sorcery saga with @jacen-art.bsky.social is out now! aiptcomics.com/2026/01/13/b...

It's #AppreciateADragon Day... and nobody appreciates a dragon like our old pal Babs. (Unless it's coming for her cash.) #FridayFeeling (Art by @jacen-art.bsky.social!)

Are you ready for trend of people getting obviously generated Ai slop art as tattoos? I'm sure many tattooers will take a stand against it, but I'm sure even more will be happy to take that easy $$$.

I was shopping today and told the woman standing behind me, "Oh, that's a nice sweater" because it was, in fact, a nice sweater. She said, "Thanks, I'm pregnant." I responded, "...well done." I wonder if she is still thinking about this exchange hours later, like I am.

"Conservative America" fucking sucks.
