folding a bunch of these up to take with me to trade at TCAF and Anthrocon and damn i think i really knocked this one out of the park.

grabbed a zine with an extremely elegant design yesterday—F is for Fire, by one Sharon Denning/articulated.press. the way the gatefolded cover is secured with interlocking divots is extremely gratifying, and the way the 8.5x11 affixed inside folds out is a delight. i may need to pilfer this format.

extremely frustrating knowing that, after 5 years, while i am easily top-10 at my workplace of ~120 in terms of technical knowledge (all self-taught) and familiarity with our internal systems and practices and am respected by my co-workers, i still make less than new hires to almost any other role.

IT support at work has gotten so much worse since our IT support guy started feeding support requests into gemini and telling us to try its "fixes". not only are the fixes unhelpful, but our IT guy's ability to listen when issues are explained and steps taken are described has atrophied.

inching ever closer to a formalist-manifesto-and-introduction-to-elements-and-principles-of-design zine.

somewhat tangential, but some of the most pleasant conversations i have with artists—frequently on encountering them and their work for the first time—start from observing how they've applied elements and principles of design to produce a given effect in their work.

god i wish i could share some of the names i encounter on a daily basis in the course of my work without it being a massive breach of privacy.

friend of a friend watching Utena for the first time: when you watch it a second or third time you'll realize the nanami filler episodes are not actually filler at all, even when they recycle footage.

Today's my birthday and I'd like to share a new comic with you, it's called Marginalia. It's a love letter to all the weirdness of medieval manuscripts, and you can read it by unfolding a single sheet of paper! 1/5

Thank you for your attention to this important matter #aprilfools

apart from the ratio between upper arm to forearm and the size of their fingers, it's almost uncanny how similarly bats are proportioned to humans.

proof of concept

on the heels of re-watching Ken Russell's The Devils and in the midst of reading Thomas Ligotti's collected short stories and, uh, could not disagree more.

À la recherche du pain perdu

me sowing: "haha yes i love designing a zine with unusual folds more commonly seen in art books!" me reaping: "oh fuck now i have to put all these weird zines together and do i even remember how?"

Got the UV display box for cons working!

ant comic real!!

honestly watching The Devils again might be harder than watching The Devils for the first time. Sister Jeanne des Anges's delusion, shame and vengefulness is just agonizing to behold knowing what unfolds from it and how she's just discarded by the forces which cynically instrumentalize her.

my partner brought home freshly-printed copies of my new zine and it's gorgeous and i wish i could share it now but, alas, the light is too yellow for taking pictures and the ink is probably still too wet for a scan.

god he's such a fuckboy

been drinking. might have to beat myself with a stick/read Julia Gförer's World Within the World/watch Ken Russel's The Devils.

idk what touched it off but based on a slew of comments i'm seeing shared by sundry leftists expressing indignation at people accusing the left of bigotry against jews it is apparent that much of the left continues to fail to understand that antisemitism is a logic before it is ever an attitude.

Bloom. A short comic about ants. This comic is laid out to print on one sheet of paper—front and back—to be folded in half three times. Each image in each post represents what the reader would see on the page as the sheet is unfolded. Colors approximate intended olive/bubblegum riso palette. 1/5

i do wonder if the driver of the cybertruck i flipped off about 20 minutes ago had intended to get out and confront me when he immediately swang his vehicle into the space in front of a fire hydrant on the street i was turning off onto and tried to crab into it.

the chicken may be finger lickin' but the turducken will bite your fingers off.

there's something amusing and a bit sad about seeing the edges of an argument about whether or not it's important for writers of prose to read prose in order to write well. superficially it's the opposite of problem one sees in comics, illustration and animation...

there once was a gent from passaic, whose tastes ran toward the archaic— he collected such vestments as worn in times long since but trappings aside his proclivities were essentially prosaic.

To celebrate finishing the 4th print edition of Broomistega & Thrinaxodon, I would like to share the complete comic with you. It's about two very different Triassic animals at the end of the world 1/7 #paleoart #sciart #furryart

anyone talking about the importance fulfilling the mitzvah of destroying amalek is one of the most evil motherfuckers alive and i utterly despise how these jewish nazis have been permitted to hollow out our communities and install themselves as our spokespeople.

oh we are so close now...
