ich möchte lieber nicht in einer realität ohne psychotherapie leben darum hab ich unterschrieben mögt ihr auch?

Ab jetzt sieht halt einfach alles aus wie Spam, alles wie Airbrush-Alptraum auf Glücksspielautomaten oder der Flyer vom Zimmerservice im Trump-Tower. Der Kapitalismus hat seinen stilistischen Sattelpunkt im luftleeren Raum erreicht.

SO close to 250!!

Watching Chainsaw Man Reze Arc shows why I'm not good with people. Reze: BAM! Me: OMG they are perfect for each other.

Seeing good people use AI prompetd sketches: Make your own sketches! Wonder about your raw and skewed view of the world, your quirks, your dreams. Take em by the hand. Dance! 1/3

Comicshops, die AI Slob bewerben sind wie Weinhändler, die Frostschutzmittel verkaufen. Und dann noch pampig werden? Vibes:

"For in the face of nature, man shall reveal his true character." - Ranger Hokey, Ravenrock National Park, 2 days before his disappearance 30 years ago. Coloring old comic strips! #Comic #Buddelfisch #Sparrowbridge

„It is told that distress calls from hikers, lost drivers and even wayward planes sometimes reach the old ranger station, but that it is only listening in and never answering back. - from: 'Ravenrock National Park, Legends, Historic Facts, All around dangerous place' #Comics #Art #Buddelfisch

Final sketchcover drop for my 2023 Oozetober-Artbook. All books are gone, whew. Thanks to everyone who ordered one and haunted me with their commissions. This time it’s melmacian mayhem ALF, Phantomias, Heifer from Rocko‘s Modern Life and mutated Donald-as-Scarlet-Spider. Perfect mix of WTF!

"The Old Ranger Station in Ravenrock National Park - if you ever reach this abandoned site it means that you are very well lost in the sprawling majesty of nature. It also means that nature will probably eat you alive."

Eine meiner Lieblings-90s-Serien aus Japan ist auf Netflix aufgetaucht. „Bayside Shakedown“! Coole Polizeialltags-Comedy. Vielleicht was für @nessi6688.bsky.social Ich guck derweil „Tokyo Love Story“ ebenfalls mit Yuji Oda. „Bayside Shakedown hab ich vor 20 Jahren in China geguckt!

it’s a Roman Salute!

von nun an gehts bergauf

Aaaah, Tuesday. Yesterday I grasped for the first time, how powerful Clip Studio can be in combining scripting with panel layout and dialogue bubble placement. Some stuff ist frustrating, but it kinda works. And thats kinda cool. Helps to break down the old wall between writing and drawing comics!

Aaah! Monday morning. That jolly panicked feeling when starting work on a new comic and trying to blend the feelings of bliss and terror. *Holds up puny pencil while the angel of creative endeavours races its flaming sword down on you*

Maulwurfshügel. So viele! Der ganze Kurpark in Lüneburg ist voller Maulwurfshügel. Und wie ich da so langspaziere, frage ich mich, warum ich noch nie gesehen habe, wie ein Maulwurf einen Hügel baut. Und wie viele Maulwürfe es überhaupt braucht, um so viel Aushub zu produzieren. So viele Fragen!

I made an (animated) pixel art weather widget for Android! 6 months of blood, sweat and tears and lots of programming & pixelling. Beta spots are limited to 1000 folks for now. Feedback & shares are super appreciated 👾 moertel.app/weather

Diesen November mache ich beim NANOWRIMO ✏️ 📙 mit und habe mir fest vorgenommen, dass der Spaß beim Schreiben oberstes Gebot ist. Ich denke, der einzige Weg sinnvoll viel zu schreiben ist, die mentale Reibung beim ersten Entwurf zu gering wie möglich zu halten. Aktueller Stand 4000 Wörter. 🫡

Honestly: I love tools to draw, tools that make life easier, tools that enhance our abilities. But watching people posting AI generated art is like watching people eating wax apples. It is best not engage, philsophically.

Over on twitter, my editor Shailja Patel reminded people of my essay Fire to the Grass, about how radical unforgiveness is a useful concept to apply to the news about Alice Munro abetting her husband's sexual abuse of her daughter. This labour is also being done by those talking about Neil Gaiman.

Some files go into the cloud and others, well... get stuck in between, wandering the void forever.

Wir haben eine neue Folge unseres Podcasts "Filmkammer des Schreckens" parat, diesmal mit "Mad Monkey Kung Fu"! linktr.ee/filmkammer

Hey everyone! We just finished our Oozetober Project by sending out the Micro-Artbooks. I still have some left over. So in case you are interested in buying a highly limited edition saturday morning cartoon mutation artbook AND get a sketchcover of your choice, just let me know! Every penny counts!

Oops, forgot to post my latest Oozetober updates here! Here's the missing three :) 6: Animaniacs, 7: Zummi Gummi 8: Snake Man. Check my Instagram for more infos!

Oozetober 5/31 Batman from The Animated Series Hoping to heal his fatal wounds, Bruce Wayne submerged himself in the Lazarus Pit. Little did he know that the mystic liquid had been spoiled with toxic ooze, splicing the Caped Crusaders DNA with that of the bats living in the ancient catacombs.

It’s hard to tolerate authors using AI art on their books when they surely wouldn‘t want artists to just illustrate AI stories „because it’s easier than collaborating with any given artist“. „I can’t afford real art…“ Maybe you just did not try hard enough, buddy.

Reading "Something Wicked This Way Comes" by Ray Bradbury hits VERY different when you are over forty than back at age 25. What a book!

Comic-Peeps: welche Crowdfunding-Plattform nimmt man 2023 für ein deutschsprachiges Comicprojekt? Kickstarter, Startnext, was anderes? Freu mich über Pros und Cons. ✨

Oozetober 4/31 Darkwing Duck Ah yes, not even St. Canard was safe from the slime. In an almost laughable accident Darkwing Duck submerged himself in the toxic ooze. Two nights later a mutated, violent version of Darkwing was first sighted!!

Oozetober 3/31 Brooklyn from Gargoyles After unrelenting weeks of rain spilling and spreading toxic ooze all around New York City, even the mighty gargoyles awaken into a rage of mutation and bloodlust! Beware the fallen defenders of the night!

Oozetober 2/31 Son Goku from Dragonball Son Goku thought he and his besties were safe until the next full moon, but after coming in contact with the green slime known as ooze, Goku's monkey genes fully mutated him into a frenzied killer. Look out!

Oozetober 1/31 The Pink Panther The Inspector finally caught up with the legendary Pink Panther, but little did he know that the rare creature had recently mutated into a hellish, fanged nightmare! Where is Sergeant Deux-Deux when you need him?!

Hey peeps! Starting from October 1, I'll drop 31 Inktober illustrations, one each day. My topic of choice are Saturday morning cartoon characters but - wait for it - mutated by the power of ooze! So expect dramatic re-imaginings of your beloved childhood friends!

I think the best response I've seen to AI anything has been, "Why should I bother reading something that nobody could be bothered to write"
