I like how Miyazaki is associated with "cozy" aesethetic or whatever, but the dude read Corben and was like "this shit rules."

W.I.P. in the pipeline.

I've been sitting on this commission, but it's time for me to share it. @nathanandersonart.bsky.social manifested my favorite and most-played D&D character (Kyubi, the kitsune thief). Even if the campaign is dead, she lives forever in my heart.

William Kotzwinkle's The Fan Man is such a delightfully strange novel.

You played with fire when you decided to go after one of ours, ooh we may seem vulnerable now but there is no force on this Eart- *being handed a note* -no force on this Earth as powerful as empathy, so let this be a moment of healing

Let us not pretend that CK was doing his work to "reach across the aisle" or encourage "friendly debate". The dude was incredibly hateful, and this environment we're in is a direct result of these kinds of people being platformed.

"This isn't a country of violence" Yes it is. It always has been. We were built on it, we enslaved people, we killed its indigenous people and we've killed countless people in our name and continue to do so. The death of a pundit who was famous for stoking violence doesn't change that.

Reading list as of this moment: Current: Dying Inside (Silverberg) Next: The Fan Man (Kotzwinkle) After: in no order The Centauri Device (Harrison) Love and Sleep (Crowley) The Wizard/Knight (Wolfe) Slaughterhouse Five (Vonnegut) Pavane (Roberts) The Other Wind (Le Guin) Last Days (Evenson)

Oh man, r.i.p. Graham Greene.

This rules-- the shapes and colors are fantastic!

The more I think about Snyder's Watchmen, the more I hate it, lmao.

My second novel, A Frightening God, is now available on Kindle and in paperback! Kindle: amazon.com/Frightening-... Paperback: amazon.com/Frightening-... It's a weird, fun sci-fi story about a kid who goes on a journey to meet his maker. Cover art by the great @nathanandersonart.bsky.social

On Newsom-- the bar is subterranean. I get it. Establishment Dems putting up ANY fight at all against Trump is necessary, but like, are we forgetting that CA criminalized homelessness he's been agreeing with Charlie Kirk about Trans people? The guy isn't even all that liberal, let alone progressive.

Adore this 1861 piece by Edward Burne-Jones of Theseus and the Minotaur. The off-kilter scale/perspective and dimensionality of it gives it such a dreamy feeling.

"scared" might be the wrong word, but I do recall discovering the original Clock Tower in my early teens, emulating it and it doing a damn good job of giving off a sense of dread.

Another bump on this! Ramon is great people-- an excellent artist and a wonderful friend! Follow!

Those waiting on DM commission replies-- been knocked out with Covid (first time!) but hoping to get back into the swing of things very soon.

Hey all! I'm making a weird pulp sci-fantasy epic releasing this October and I need your help. Seems like I'm struggling getting on track on bsky compared to that other site... So do follow and share for more info soon!! Thanks bye!🔥

Incredible lineup of creators on this one, can't praise their work enough!

Intrusive thoughts: If Joanna Russ were an edgy 4channer, her most well known novel would've been called The Foid Moid.

Y'know, in light of the horrid exchange with GRRM at WorldCon, maybe that infamous "Brandon Sanderson is your God" article is making more and more sense.

Warmup sketch of Terence Stamp as he appears in Fellini's 1968 film, Toby Dammit-- A segment from Spirits of the Dead, an anthology of films based on the works of Poe. Might be one of the originators of the goth look?

I’ve never been so proud; I certainly wouldn’t be where I am today, weird-fiction-thinking-wise, without an early fascination with Wolfe’s unsettling ambiguity. I maintain “Forlesen” should be in the weird fiction canon

Not sure when it'll be done, but hoping to eventually compile a sketchbook of a bunch of SFF-related drawings I've done over the past few years. Set on the cover, but messing with the design a bit for the general page layout.

Been super busy- for those waiting on DMs, thanks for your patience! Responding to them shortly!

Hunt for the Molochian Minotaurs at the Tusked Trenches. The Heroine Glory Seeker claims her bounty, breaking the bale Behemoth by brutalizing its bulky body and taking its horned head rightly with a stylish execution, preserving its cranium in pristine condition. By @nathanandersonart.bsky.social

After forty years Corben’s earliest masterpiece is back in print! In the intro Miyazaki writes: “In Rowlf, a world that appears at first grotesque and ironic is filled with faith in a healthy life.” @realgdt.bsky.social

Discovering some hidden gems always feels nice-- been listening to a lot of Guadalcanal Diary lately, don't know how I didn't find out about them sooner.

Polish comfort food always hits the spot -- pan-fried pierogi, sauted onion & mushroom. 👌

Another pet-peeve: The suffix of "punk" (aside from Cyberpunk) is largely a useless signifier in that A: The "punk"element is rarely, if ever present, and B: So many of the derivatives of this are redundant and frankly sound ridiculous. Atompunk? Decopunk? Hopepunk? What the hell are we doing.

An M. John Harrison-ism that has really stuck with me (besides the all-timer "great clomping foot of nerdism" line about worldbuilding) is that so much fantasy writing is "over-engineered, but under-designed". Spreadsheet-ass fantasy is the antithesis of what I like.

The Crowley collection is getting closer to completion! I've also got Flint and Mirror, but it's packed in a box with some other books at the current moment.

Found a copy of John Crowley's Love and Sleep for free at some dude's house he was getting ready to sell. Being resourceful and not resorting to Amazon for buying books really pays off.

Appropriate that I finished my Viriconium project the night before M. John Harrison's birthday today -- one of the very best writers I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Incredible stuff all around.
