Reminder to everyone hiring an artist: If you need vector files delivered, that needs to be established up-front, before work starts. I cannot give you vector files because I do not work with vectors.

Wacom MovinkPad Pro 14 video impressions! (1/7)

Wacom sent me MovinkPro 14 all-in-one android tablet to test! So far it feels great! It's responsive and familiar for Cintiq users, super light for portability, and impressed me with its performance! More impressions soon, but for now, here are some size comparisons with some other drawing devices.

After all this time, I have finally finished Silksong. What do I do with myself now?!? I'm just supposed to move on??

Media has done decades of damage by teaching uncritical men that "take deep breaths" is a good thing to say to a woman that is stressed. Nobody wants to hear that! Unless you have a pre-established relationship in which it's been shown otherwise, keep that one to yourself, brother.

Halloween craftin'

NEW VIDEO ALERT: The story at the heart of Mouthwashing is different than the story being told by the game. Only by pinning down the real story can we understand some of Mouthwashing’s biggest mysteries. #Mouthwashing youtu.be/vqkvucVw5AI

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this

My very favorite band, Murder By Death, is hanging it up after 25 years. I made them this small painting and handed it off last night at their final Portland show. I'm going to miss them so much. Their music has meant a lot to me over the years.

friend shared this, immediately updated my settings

Murder by Death back to back shows this weekend for their farewell tour!! I'm going miss these guys 😭

Did a custom cover for The Hero Initiative recently and I'm pretty proud of it! Baby's first time trying an all-marker piece. I thought the paper would take it better than watercolor, but lol, lmao. Still looks good though!

Not me toying with the idea of a whole ass NYC trip in January because they just announced a NieR concert 👀

Okay, ready for a bunch of photos from the Manhattan #NoKings? Here we go!

For the Shadow of the Colossus story, we interviewed 14 people including project leads Fumito Ueda and Kenji Kaido, hired Gravity Rush concept artist Takeshi Oga to illustrate the cover, and put together a 10,000-word story with help from @milkman.bsky.social @shmuplations.bsky.social and others.

Do francophone people make dix-neuf / deez nuts multilingual wordplay jokes because they should

Going up to Vancouver BC for a week; don't fall apart while I'm gone, America. Ok, don't fall *more* apart plz

This whole waffles situation feels like dickwolves all over again and I'm sorry if you understand what that means. You can pwn your haters for lulz if you're a bullied underdog but you cannot do this once you've grown to be the one in power-

Even if you aren't playing Silksong, you should listen to Lace's theme, because it goes hard af: christopherlarkin.bandcamp.com/track/lace-2

Went out to see Perfect Blue on the big screen. Hadn't seen it in years! Still one of the most intense and immaculately crafted psychological thrillers out there.

Good Devils: Don't Play Fair With Evil is here! Me & @nickdragotta.bsky.social co-created it, @sievish.bsky.social designed it, and @erikaschnatz.bsky.social got us ready for press at Image. I feel really fortunate to have made another book entirely with friends. Rare feeling. Anyway, please buy it!

Supposed to exercise today, but I have a headache. Maybe more coffee and doomscrolling will fix me.

Damn, wish I knew how to do anything but draw comics 🤣

a spider can fly on a current of air

"Manosphere"... you mean this thing?

Haven't started Hades 2 yet, but here's an old Hades 1 sketch of... weird modern Zagreus? I dunno it made sense at the time I sketched it

Now that I'm deep into Silksong, my opinion is that it's both a logical and well-executed evolution of HK, and it's ALSO so much more complex and demanding than the original, that parts of it will leave some HK fans feeling alienated. Hornet can do SO many things, and that's FUN, but can be TOO MUCH

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Do not talk to Portland oldheads about Portlandia. Most of us see it not as a cute little show about our city, but the beginning of the end of our under-the-radar affordable arts town.

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

Every time I eat baklava, I am haunted by the episode of the Great British Baking Show in which I learned British people pronounce it b'CLAH-ver

Mass walkout at the UN General Assembly during war criminal Netanyahu’s speech.

Happy Hades 2 day!!! I drew this back when the first trailer came out, but I still quite like how it turned out.

I usually pride myself on having pretty good work/life balance, but I've been crunching for the last week and stayed up till 4am last night to make a deadline and boy am I NOT built for this anymore. I am REKT

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE HAPPY HELLO SUNSHINE DAY!! ☀️☀️☀️

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.
