last fall I saw a woman in Paris, in a park, with a white cockatoo on her shoulder. she was picking berries off of a park shrub & feeding them to the bird; both of them were totally absorbed in this activity. parrots & parrot ppl exist on another plane of reality

Also finally finished Garden of Spheres by Linnea Sterte and GAWDAM is it good. I thought I was rooting for the unmaker but then I switched to the prince/princess but now I think my fav is the immortal hunter

reading a book about a bad person will in fact turn you into one. authors are lying to you about this because they’re all bad people themselves

SO, patreon comic has been updated. the 'prisoners on dozmary craig' side arc, still. another 32 pages, bit of gore in this part

is now a good time to post abt the patreon comic being updated or should I wait until it's lunchtime, america time

Ancient worlds carved and shaped by a long lost civilization.

therapist says there are a ton of books on how to stay motivated but refuses to recommend me any. I feel like 90 percent of them are scams though? any good recs for something that actually works

I finished 'the garden of spheres pt1' a few days ago and I loved it! Im really looking forward to reading the second part and filling in the gaps in the story and the world. And, of course, what an outstanding art, every panel is terrific. Ty for this work @decassette.bsky.social 🙌💓

Ha ha. A sea anemone with quite a provocative "manus" (mouth-anus) from Aba Guyot in the Wake Island/North Pacific region 2140ish meters #okeanos 2016

RIP Yoshiharu Tsuge

otoh the refurbished kobo elipsa device I got LOOKS like an iPad but is in fact the most ensouled piece of electronics I have held in my hands since the game boy

& sometimes I ponder out loud but this is not an invitation to argue

it's just, without having actually read monstress, I feel I could have drawn monstress, if I really tried

PRINT ANNOUNCEMENT! The next in our series of monthly print releases celebrating our 40th anniversary, is piece titled Catfish. We’ve teamed up with the incredibly talented and wonderful Linnea Sterte (@decassette.bsky.social) to bring you this stunning digital print! goshlondon.com/catfish-by-l...

p much done texting the next 32 pages of the ungodly prison comic. am going to eat a can of longan fruits & contemplate my life

reactions to the green nymph has shown a painful lack of John Bauer awareness in my anglophone audience. these are swede trolls don't let hollywood fool you

I caught a spy my liege

all I have to do is fill in 1 speech bubble then send this off for proof reading but this hill is insurmountable. have had 4 cups of coffee & the small devil on my shoulder still says to drink more coffee. I hate naming things & the google doc says ****. ty past self

for posterity: this is the son of a whore pen-in-butthole icon you can accidentally click while doing symmetry. this little asshole. this useless freak. he's balding, he has hgh face & it's OK for me to make fun of this because he is not a moral person. fuck off w your tone policing

Chapter 1 is up! anniversarycomic.neocities.org

might have touched some setting in PS. hard round keeps reverting to being pressure sensitive. clicking or unblocking the 'lock' symbol after turning it off does not help. there is probably a v simple solution that I don't know abt since this hasn't happened before

I see. there is hope for the children. let's burn all computers too. except mine, I need it for work

nymph with a green knife

NEW RULE if you miss whatever dumb point I'm trying to make & start arguing against statements I didn't make I'm going to block you. even if you're an otherwise cool person. I just hate explaining myself

So excited to see @decassette.bsky.social's GARDEN OF SPHERES arrive in the mail! Can't wait to dig in!

So evocative and charming 🎶 While designing our sets, art dir. Shinji Kimura was also mapping out the style of the movie with these great “image boards” (painted w Nicker Poster Colors on a piece of thick paper about 15 cm wide) #Tekkon #鉄コン #AmerBeton #木村真二 #anime

Maynard Dixon, "Cloud World," 1925, recently acquired by—and now on view at—the Denver Art Museum www.denverartmuseum.org/en/blog/clou...

started out leeching off my parents, at this point I do have an income & am just staying in a cottage in the woods on my father's property due to like inertia & various personal failures. mainly living off of royalties & foreign rights, bits of animation or games related work here & there

how does one get a job like this?? doing just 2 issues of something?? it sounds so manageable?? not to be all 'hey Zendaya can you get me a role in one of those dune movies'

I think being in the sun & breathing the fresh air outside has made me physically ill

Throughout the long Arctic winter crossing, she fed on the crew, night after night. #ttrpg #drawing #vampire #comics

Shinji Kimura did a mountain of production design (usually a couple of these drawings each day) and we started storyboarding as soon as he was finished designing. #Tekkon #鉄コン #AmerBeton #木村真二 #anime

today googling my own name (a bad habit I've picked up from my father) I found a YouTube review of my new book in which a guy called me a great cartoonist or something. & that's a good word, cartoonist, comes w very few obligations aside from you've gotta draw stuff

OK I'm doing a shit job communicating today. yes I've seen akira & read the manga

just a reminder! Our editor listing is open for 10 more days!

arguably a downgrade but now that I have for real gotten to this scene other things have to fit on the page & he has a black eye now, he's missing an erring, that's what the character looks like now. including the minimal background men because I love them

ok winter depression season might be over time for pollen season. I genuinely must find some other country to be in

double spread I've been sort of stuck on. everyone has already seen weird biomech Eshan he's not a spoiler anymore, might as well post it. & yet more of the Sad Protagonist Face. he's stuck like that

also in movie news: picking a thing at random from the too-long to watch list, I watched uncut gems. I feel I understand the 2020s better now. great soundtrack. visually kinda hsiao-hsien, or pleasantly eastern. great soundtrack. & yet, I do think I deserve some sort of medal for having watched this

I don't lust after timmy because my brain registers him as a child (ik he's 30) but I can sort of relate to wanting to be part of a medium that feels big & alive. there's a very vain part of me that bristles at that type of rhetoric where buying comics, art etc is framed as an act of charity
