Dear #portfolioday we meet again. My name is Yorgos, I'm from Greece and I work mostly in the publishing industry making book covers. I'm available for work from September onwards. Here's some of my work!

The University of Glasgow groundspeople are going to be quite annoyed when they come in to work tomorrow...

Mothman Festival is awesome! I give you a run down of the highlights (with photos) as well as tips for visiting next year! Only in Pop Heist!

It's October. Time for Flying Adventure Gourd to make an appearance again. Watercolour and coloured pencil, 64 × 89 mm, 2020.

RIP Jane Goodall, by all accounts a wonderful woman who loved this Far Side cartoon

Literally movies from the 30s and 40s had more progressive ideas about marriage than a lot of stuff now.

One of my favourite photographs: midnight in Tokyo, painted through my lens.

I deeply relate to Jonah because I, too, would rather be swallowed by a whale than have to talk to people even though talking to people is literally my job.

The hungry harpy may have bitten off more than she can chew Welcome to my 2025 Monster Mashtober! What is that you may ask? It is my own personal month long challenge with no themes, lists, or rules other than to draw whatever creature I want. So, what monster do you want me to draw?

I've had a vision for many years to design and publish the best presented website online for historical content as a way to combat shallow historical accounts who frequently ripped off content creators and infringed copyright. 4 years on today, it's still going. Brand new website coming soon👇

Reminder: these are real screen tones. That means applying the darker tone, from which they had to painstakingly cut every pill, then apply the lighter tone on one pill at a time (most of them with slightly different shapes), and finally gently scratching them individually to get the glow effect.

They had me in the first half

Hopefully re-outlining/restarting a dark fantasy novel I started a few years ago ⚔️

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

OTD in 1999, 'The New God' was released. This Japanese documentary explores Yutaka Tsuchiya's relationship with a right-wing, neo-nationalist punk rock band. Zachary Fairbrother @historicalhijinks.bsky.social explores the transition towards the feminine fascist persona in Japanese pop culture.

also, when you’re trying to make money to live and they hit you with the “don’t worry about numbers!” well buddy, I got some real fucking numbers that I gotta worry about or face severe consequences

I just woke up to the news that @othersidespec.bsky.social is only ONE new subscriber away from funding a SEVENTH ISSUE! Will you be the one to push us past this third stretch goal?? www.kickstarter.com/projects/hyb...

This was posted on the MÖRK BORG subreddit and it made me very happy. About how MB, some metal tapes and monopoly dice helped a guy get clean. Another commenter mentioned running JAIL BORG from memory. Things like this make me all warm inside.

Ooh, Banquet For Fools leaving early access in a few months. With a new demo, update and discount on Steam now. VERY promising hybrid of old-school CRPG and Parasite Eve-like hybrid real-time/turn-based combat with more physics'y stuff, custom spells and a funky, swampy fantasy setting.

Back to work [Jan Ekels the Younger, A Writer Trimming His Pen, 1784, Oil on panel, 28 x 24 cm (Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam)]

NEW: Rashida Tlaib is leading a 19-member letter calling on Marco Rubio to protect the Global Sumud Flotilla—which is carrying 24 Americans—as it seeks to deliver aid to Palestinians starved by Israel. They also demand the Trump admin use its leverage to end Israel's blockade and genocide of Gaza.

Fought down the urge to add an editorial confessional on this one: I've had a rough month and have not had my usual energy for reading/writing/editing/project managing. But there's a lot of great critical writing happening right now, despite it all.

IT IS GLORY TO BATHE IN THE BLOOD OF YOUR ENEMIES BUT TO ALSO BATHE IN THE SHOWER.

Actually pretty interesting to think for all this talks about podcasters and YouTubers, for a solid portion of the electorate, the Overton Window is set by Dick Wolf.

Tomorrow is the two year anniversary of Skin Thief: Stories! I'm very proud of this book. I put it together during the darkest period of my adult life. I felt very alone and friendless when I sent it out into the world and it brought me so much love in return. Thank you to everyone who's read it. 🖤

i played cyberpunk a year ago and i was floored considering how poorly it was sold to me by Popular Opinion. I spent that year becoming more distressed that i had gone insane as it digested into one of my favorite video game stories and i only found negative reviews. Reader captures my thoughts.
