Was on a friends podcast about the hustle working for yourself & what it’s like to live without a steady paycheck for years. Kinda proud of: “Well, I really started to enjoy finding cool stones. It’s free, interesting, & should I ever hit rock bottom at least I’ll have a hobby already started.”

In my continuing attempt to tackle new challenges in middle age, I am starring in a play later this month! "Charles Darwin's Christmas Carol" is a delightful one-act by my brilliant friend Matt, with a cast that also includes @lisafybush.bsky.social as my wife/cousin. We're at MuCCC the 18-21st.

Here are the fortunes I wrote for the @anomalyfilmfest.com Many-Eyed Potato fortune machine this year. It's the Malkavian in me. 🌕🔮 #AnomalyFilmFest2025 #fortunes

I can't stress enough, as a man that still uses underscores on filenames for print files, how every fiber of my graphic designer being is bothered by this... There is an art director in my brain that is shaking his head and screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOO"...

Thanks! Here's a link to my pinned post containing links to my print-on-demand stores through which I sell items featuring my artworks, designs, and (in the case of my AZP_Photos Zazzle Store) photos: bsky.app/profile/azur...

COMIC: Christmas is coming!

It's that time of year again when @miserelovesco.bsky.social and I plumb the depths of these awful holiday movies. Feel free to play along with us!

Chatted w/ a photog asking to work together. wasn’t interested. He tried to show me his work, but I pointed out I & an old team was already in there. Years back, he came to this amazing event that we took months to do. The only pics he shared was the team exhausted from a hard day. Looking weary.

From our spooky little corner of the world to yours, @thegilmonster.bsky.social and I wish you a Happy 'Thanksgiving'. And thank you @magnusapollo.bsky.social for your amazing pumpkins and even more amazing friendship!

🎵 “I came in like a Butter Ball…” 🎶 Happy Thanksgiving! I’m thankful for so many things and people in this crazy world.

Saw this on my Instagram stories and had to share… Don’t call MAGAs “Christian Nationalists,,” but call them Nationalist Christians, or “Nat-Cs” for short. And now I can’t unsee it. Nationalists Christians it will be then.

I am that uncle on thanksgiving talking to kids about living pre-internet, watching it bloom and grow into a wonderful connective device that was the equivalent of a modern day library of Alexandria, to eventually get hacked up by advertisers & AI bots and used to corrupt humanity.

Use only ONE piece of art to convince folks to follow you. Sold this Roper at a past Living Dead Weekend. #darkart #pipecleanerart #dnd #horror

This administration has been such a disgusting disgrace… 5 years ago my friends in the nursing and medical professions were literally called heroes, now this administration made up of reality tv personalities and Fox News hosts say that this aren’t professionals…

me waking up and opening this app

The fact that Bernie sanders is mentioned in the Epstein files as a bone of contention and how he was coming for their lifestyles and how he was a threat just makes me that much more happy.

22 states and DC are effectively in a recession. I said this today to someone and they didn’t believe me, so, I just sent them this link and shared it here as well. I worry about the next year and what it means for so many Americans.

I feel like if you need a fun movie that allows you to have some catharsis about the gig economy and a solid angel switches your life around flick, you need to watch Good Fortune boxd.it/GavG

Our House is Our History: A couple of years ago our dear, talented friend @magnusapollo.bsky.social made this giant Bigfoot for my birthday. He snuck to our house in the wee hours and set it up so I would see it peering thru the window when I woke up. Best bday ever! He kinda rocks.

Today is opening day of gun season for deer. Be careful if you are driving. Deer are running. Watched a woman hit a deer this morning, when I got out to help her I saw the deer in the ditch and noticed it had gotten shot. A few minutes later a hunter came running up. He had shot it and it ran out.

Since we aren’t getting the northern lights due to all this cloud cover, here is your runner up #roc

This Sunday you have the chance to check the first episode of Melvin the Devourer part of the @anomalyfilmfest.com lineup! With the Direction from Roy of Will Work For Fame productions. Here are some of the cast

The fact that every person Trump endorsed lost their election is giving me some modicum of hope.

Bluesky pals! I have a sci-fi graphic novel called DRIVE, & it's my favorite thing I've ever done! If you need a long, escapist read at the moment the entire thing is free to read, here: drivecomic.com (THIS PAGE: "To have slipped the surly bonds of Earth..." )

Rochester NY pizza joint Pizza Wizard decided to feed the community yesterday by put up coupons for a free cheese if needed - people w/ money could buy one forward for $5. listed in their social media & put it in online order form. in one day they sold 1719. fuck yeah #Rochester

Well I stupidly made a comment on ABC News Facebook page on something political so my alerts are a collection of absolute idiots not understanding how anything actually works and thinks that Trump really cares about them, all annoying me, & some writing me directly. Seriously wtf. Deleted it asap.

My day started at 9:30am, and I’m just getting home at 2:30am. Didn’t even get much time to eat. Going to be back at it early tomorrow. #anomalyfilmfest

This is your reminder that if you see teens, or anyone for that matter, in a costume happily trick or treating, you let them celebrate. This world is harsh & the simple joys of Halloween are magical to some.

I have an Akira Kurosawa quote at my studio. It’s one that I read to remind me to be the best version of me. "The more you quit, the more it becomes a habit, & an easy choice to quit when things get hard or don't go so well". The habitualization of quitting leads to a poor life & weak character.

As a politician, if you have to live on military housing like Steven miller, Rubio, and so many more republicans because of how bad you are doing and how bad the country and economy are then any sane person would be probably rethinking what they have been doing in their life. Wtf…

Dig it. we can verify our atomic ordinance with computer models +lab bench tests that Russia can't duplicate. They know their arsenal has decayed. They may have few fully working bombs. Now Trump has given them an excuse to test them the old fashioned way. And blame us. www.bbc.com/news/article...

today's my birthday!!! you can give me (and yourself!) a gift by buying my art! kayleerowena.bigcartel.com

“High risk pools” are groups where insurance companies put those with preexisting conditions. Don’t let them hide the ball.

“I would legit watch a TV show of you walking around various places in the world telling me factoids and you introducing me to weird people you meet”… I don’t know how to stress that I’d gladly provide that service if that was something other people would cover the bill for.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

I have been really getting worried for so many people in our community when SNAP ends Nov 1st My concern is how any normally sane person acts when they are truly hungry… like, is there going to be a sudden turn in petty theft & breakins, etc? It’s disgusting to see how the govt is out for itself.

The French detective in charge of the Louvre jewelry heist looks exactly like what I expected a French detective in charge of a Louvre jewelry heist should look like!

Figured I'd share, this was my proposal for a sculpture at the Sister Cities bridge in rochester. It was timbers fished from the river, cured, then messages from rochestarians carved into the wood & filled, the whole thing sealed and then built into the roc logo. I didn't get the grant.

COMIC: MoooOOooooOOO!

Anchorage! I am here!!! RECORDING!!!! A new album!!!!!!!! And on Saturday I'll play a bunch of those songs for you at Writer's Block! No tickets, just a suggested donation. mariancall.com #alaskasky

One of my favorite things my friends have been doing lately… Been getting texts as they watch the latest season of Peacemaker, apparently all my friends agree that I would react the *exact* same way as Vigilante would upon meeting myself from another universe. It’s true… they know me so well! 😂

Tonight!!! Drunken Pumpkin Party and Artist Hangout! Come hang out and make art and just chill and be part of the rochester creative scene. No Cover Free art Supplies Pumpkin Carving Prizes

Today was the first day in a long time that seeing American Flags being waved by a large group brought me a sense of pride and joy not anger or fear. Maybe a small hint of hope.
