& in other comics news: started posting the comic I'm doing w @simonroy.bsky.social over on patreon. it's also on his patreon. will try & update every sunday w some 2 – 3 pages over the next few weeks

Dennis Eriksson off-brand James Bond comic. sold at double the price of a normal zine as it is, I quote, an art object. maybe this is true

having been drunk enough to just sort of say stuff but not drunk enough to forget I just sort of said stuff. realizing my irl friends follow me on here, where I just sort of say stuff. p crotty recounting the sad sex scene from the prison comic, as though my whole career is just saying stuff,

‘escaping from the data pack reset’ I love those pages but don’t want to show too much, you know _ ROBO comic is almost ready to ship and this is super exciting

before I go to bed: apologies to @efernst.bsky.social, the statement 'have fun marrying your girlfriend the paris beauvois ariport' was made in a fit of rage while at said airport. & you do deserve better

sorry this sounds more depressing than it should ha ha. but I don't mean mick foley in a derogatory way. I'm all over the place rn, I have some bags I need to pack

A Garden of Spheres! you can get it at the PEOW2 website: peow.studio/shop/product... (choose US or international versions for shipping options) or, go check your local indie comics store

So Garden of Spheres by @decassette.bsky.social got THREE EISNER NOMINATIONS. You know what that means. CONGRATULATIONS LINNEA!!!!!!! let's F GOOOOO we are so extremely hyped up we will just use all the rest of the characters to say that we are so proud of what Linnea has made and we will always

OK no I shouldn't let my anxieties get in the way of being happy abt stuff. my publisher sneakily told me days ago abt the Eisner noms so I can't feign surprise now. but it was a surprise like 4 days ago. bizarre it's like, several

(unknowingly chiming in on Disney Adult discourse. but in a way that's related to fandom-as-identity discourse, which is my personal hobby-horse)

週刊漫画アクション Weekly Manga Action, October 1968 cover art by Monkey Punch

can be the inverse even, some works are imo more interesting/fun to engage with if you acknowledge them as flawed. or idiosyncratic in ways not all ppl will vibe with

the book was the charming cicada studio: masterworks by chao shao-an, a collection of said artist's work! idr exactly which pieces were in the book, but here are some i found!

I feel a much greater love & compassion for robots built with a purpose. no-one would attach a machine gun to this thing, that lives in the grain silo

will be there too, if the planes run on time. inshallah

discourse keeps on happening on my feed. yet again, I check in on my mind horse. she's doing OK. I am unsure what point I'm trying to prove here it's just fun t try & see what happens

.hack //sign could also have been an episode of the podcast reply all, which it predates by about a decade

Its here! The second (out of four) new publications I’ve been working on in preparation for Stockholms internationella seriefestival: a brand new issue of Bild & Bubbla, with incredible cover by the inimitable Linnea Sterte! So, just two more to go, and the festival is in three days … No stress!

not drawing comic: oh how i wish i was drawing my comic drawing comic: how stupid of me, how foolish of an endeavor. each passing moment is agony. the sin of creativity which i have committed so naively has banished me to this purgatory of endless torment, that now i must draw a cash register

like a trapped in a video game series where the protagonist is just sort of lost, not all that good at the game iirc, the v organic way it handles gender & disability in relation to the game world. still feels fresh somehow & quite empathetic

is there a convoluted explanation for this. from what I understand wizardry & such has existed forever but isekai manga/anime used to draw on a more jrpg-ish aesthetic, even D&D-ish things like lodoss had like an amano-ness to them visually (ok this is just me liking old things again)

no it's fine. beyond this imaginary line it is no longer paris. we can build towers here. & it won't make paris look like london, or an american city. because this patch of land, that looks like london, or an american city, is near paris, but not of it

It is so cool seeing this tome (with backup story from @decassette.bsky.social ) out in the wild! (presumably, mostly on the iberian peninsula)

a lot of online art drama could be avoided if ppl understood the difference between tracing vs referencing

idk new therapist asked me to figure out what I really want vs what I feel is expected of me & it's hard since at various times I've called myself an introvert, asexual etc. but it never felt like a positive identification, more like an admission I couldn't have something more

I keep forgetting ppl follow me on here

back to lotr: am aware according to some anecdote Tolkien based his elvish grammar on finnish because finish grammar is cursed & strange. but these words really do sound much better if you imagine them said in a finland-swedish or faux finnish intonation. & its spiritually finnish in tone & content

🪶

I feel like this year is already over & I am 50 years old

I can go to bed now

& also, this is so you can vote for me, in case I get nominated for something (one can hope)

grew up reading a lot of comics (manga, eurocomics, old superhero books). didn't get the hang of making them until after taking storyboarding classes at animation school, which is a different thing but like, a sister medium

I found the lesbian bar. like an uninvited vampire I could not bring myself to go inside. I went to a nearby souvenir shop, bought an orange juice & cried by the seine

cut my finger trying to trim my fringe. this is going great

Happy Birthday to the late, great Mœbius, born Jean Henri Gaston Giraud 88 years ago today

what does one even do at a lesbian bar

this looks like such a fun assignment, I wish someone had forced me to do this

Rats, space, fantasy, romance, metal, mold and more! New books from @violainebriat.bsky.social, @peow.bsky.social , @sandypuggames.bsky.social, and Tia Friedel are here!

don't call it a pandemic until a bunch of ppl have caught the disease. I don't believe in manifesting but that's what ppl on here are doing, regardless

speaking of the Kobo device, I've gotten to the galadriel bit in Fellowship but after the shelved by genre ep on this (I'm trying to catch up) accidentally described my exact headspace rn I cannot seem to find a good moment to sit down & read it

torn between duolingo being the cutest & most addictive language app (while also kinda shit) vs the points & ranking system means I end up putting it off until I can sit down & do it for 1h – 30 min straight, instead of like using it casually on the subway or whenever

yesss historical matsumoto is back

I don't have 5 good pictures of myself. or I do, but they're all selfies from the same angle

this is the most adorable thing ever? can I have this on my macbook

Diamond Disk peow.studio/blog/join-di...

saw these in person today & can't get over how they're more real-looking to me than most photographs. harshness of the shadows, chaotic/grainy texture of the sky etc. not stylized but like looking at a figure through both my own visual noise & the noise of the artist
