I am here, begging people to check out what their local library has to offer. Even the most non-comics-friendly libraries often have ties to digital systems like Hoopla or Axis 360 where you can read lots of comics. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJoY...

i will succeed because i am a pervert 🥳🫡

I collect a lot of things, and this is a piece of one of my favorite collections. Short little moments of the world I live in. Not even zen necessarily, just a moment to breathe and casually observe. Drop out of my ego for a moment and just objectively exist

Alan Moore on now.

I’ve seen a lot of other makers and creators express interest in #zines lately, and I made a happy discovery at the bookshop! This book from 96 has incredible insight into the minds and processes of makers in the movement. Given their transient nature, it’s a brilliant collection of zines to explore

Had myself a whole-ass day of printmaking! Riso, laser-etched wood cut on the printing press, and 3D printed stamps of my linework. Scanning the results now and I’ll have them posted tomorrow! #printmaking #Risograph #printingpress #3Dprinting #stampmaking

My current used bookstore obsession: clipart books! These will be fun to mix and collage with the Riso clipart from the Gocco. I think I’ll make it an ongoing project of mine to collect, scan, and vectorize a library of clipart for other designers and printmakers to use too #clipart #printmaking

So much of the comics advice I've found most useful is not big-picture meaning-of-life storytelling stuff, but "every page should end on a mini-cliffhanger" and "make sure each issue includes at least one splash page the artist can sell at a convention"

Bean on a bottle!! #BeanStickerClub @semispri.bsky.social @cabbageboyo.bsky.social

Finally rounding out my series of embroidered patches for #VCHIBAN! Here’s #buffpup ‘s collar! This time I used a full flat fill of stitching instead of using twill as appliqué. I think I’ll remake Shia’s S to be a bit bigger before I get these all onto a Vtuber battle jacket

Don’t think I’ve ever shown these yet, this was my first foray into whipmaking from a few years ago! Nylon paracord flogger, with metal bb’s. I need to try my hand at snakewhips and bullwhips again #whipmaking #flogger

Letterers and calligraphists! Dip pen enthusiasts! I found an absolutely stunning resource at the bookshop: A Speedball textbooklet, published in 1960! This is unlocking so much knowledge of pen nibs for me. And what an amazing collection of font styles! #lettering #calligraphy #dippens #speedball

To all the print enthusiasts, especially @semispri.bsky.social, I've got something cool to show y'all! Riso PG5 Print Gocco! Just about the whole kit is here! I'm going to scan and save copies of the clipart for archiving and reuse. My library has the equipment for converting the VHS to digital too!

Whenever people ask me if I'm a gifted artist.

Busy day at the printer today! #risograph #moon #poster #printmaking

My first reference page! We're making cringe OC's y'all! DeoTheBear's human form and super suit, which is suspiciously similar to shit I just wear normally. Plus a battle jacket. #Risograph print on newsprint.

Not a bad day throwing on the wheel today! I’m getting more and more comfortable centering larger masses of clay, these were 3 and 2.5 lb. I’m leaving a lot of weight in the bottom of the vessel still, and I should be able to get my walls thinner with more practice. Obligatory Pottery Cat! #pottery

Now more than ever, please be aware you may be able to read comics for free via your library card on www.hoopladigital.com. Yes! You can even walk inside a library and get a comic book made of paper if you're some kind of weird paper fetishist. As Tupac said, "Only God can judge you" (paraphrase).

Next machine embroidered patch is finished! AiCandii’s lab coat! I’m really starting to feel like I understand Embrilliance, but digitizing is still very tricky. Just one more of the VChi crew to go! #ArtCandii #embroidery #patches

Sunday cookin’! #gochujang

You'll never feel as connected as in a protest. You'll never feel as understood as in a riot. You'll never feel as respected as on a barricade.

Made another patch for the Vchi Gauntlet! #Shiabun #embroidery #patches

Since the infighting and one-upsmanship has started--people who feel helpless + frustrated turn on each other, it's just a sad fact--remember: you don't have to like the people you fight alongside. Your comrades will say profoundly stupid bullshit to you, about you, etc. Let it roll off, keep going

#VexxyArt #risograph Just in time to close out the Year of the Snake! This month’s Vtuber Comic Book fanart goes out to Vexoria! An inspiring badass! Took the opportunity to experiment with different color paper for the Riso prints. There’s something I really like about the blue!

Honeybun patch! #Rosedoart #embroidery #patches

Happy Belated Birthday! November's Vtuber Comic Book fanart: Risograph prints featuring Jowol as a Big Sister! #PorcelainMade #risography

WE GOT GREEN!! Made some prints of the aurora last month with the new ink! #risography

Damn you fryin’ chicken in there?

Looking up at the pretty lights in the sky. Just like we did. Just like we’ll always do #aurora #NorthernLights

Oh to be a pottery cat, napping in a pottery studio #pottery

Never fear, #VchiBan is here! Inspired by Excalibur 1, 1988. Playing with more Riso settings for grayscale and black/white inverse! Need to find a better mix for teal. I love how the newsprint paper really shows off the dots and roller misalignments! #Buffpup #Shiabun #rosedoArt #ARTCANDII

A day late of my goal to finish before November, but we’ve finally made it to print! #risography #VCHIBAN #comicart

I’ve been driving myself nuts this week trying to perfect the procedures, but I think I’m finally getting a handle on DTG and DTF printing! A cycle in the wash machine will be the true test #DirectToGarment #DirectToFilm

This sucks!

Finishing touches on 3D printed Vader’s saber! I’m thrilled with it as my first bit of prop making, but I think I went overboard with the weathering. I may have gone too far in a few places. 3D print design from www.thingiverse.com/CaseStudyno8... #StarWars #PropMaking

I know how to bind books now!!! #bookbinding

Cooking is making! Spanish-style potato tortilla! Spanish-style because how Spanish can it really be if I’m about to slather it in Pace?

What better way to celebrate Asexual Awareness Week than by spillin' the asexualiTEA with @sparklemaia.bsky.social! 1/2 www.ohjoysextoy.com/ace-101-spar...

I love that I have a job now where I can literally be paid to build lightsabers! She needs some serious sanding and finishing, but she’s already a beauty! 3D print files from www.thingiverse.com/CaseStudyno8... Also, learned today that Tamiya cement doesn’t melt PLA! Sprueglue to the rescue!

#VCHIBAN WIP! Back to pencilling for the next round of Vtuber comic book covers! Y’all seein’ that rooftop corner? I just learned two-point perspective, and I’m not afraid to use it!!
