I loved expedition 33 as much as the next guy, but I personally think it's far preferable to come down pretty militantly on AI use than to risk being overly permissive. The slope is too slippery and the stakes are too high.

hey @mgillman.bsky.social

#artvsartist for 2025, featuring my big, red face and my very blue art. I also wrote a retrospective for this year of art-making on Instagram: www.instagram.com/p/DSVYhiZESpu/

This is genuinely, actually the plot of my MFA thesis comic.

It’s Obra Dinn. Obra Dinn gives you a structure to work in that makes you feel like you’re smart even if you’re not *that* smart. It’s baffling that more AA/AAA games have not folded it into their games RPing ‘smart’ characters. (Even tho I’ve been pitching them for years.)

3:19am I believe in us. We will be okay. We will see communism in our lifetimes. I love you. 3:44am Burning all my paintings. My art is a waste I am sorry for wasting so much time I will never be good enough 4:31am if kirby swallowed a pirate he would be Scurby

This person took this when they called the race

YES YES YES!!!

A lesson I'm continually having to learn about my own process is that if drawing comics feels like there's a brick wall in my brain, that's often less an indicator that I need to push through and more that I need to rework the page to be something I'm actually excited about.

Don't fuck this one up, NYC. I love you, I believe in you.

my webcomic The Nameless Prisoner is coming soon...! fantasy adventure (gay) romance.. It's about a cursed knight who's deserted his order, and now he's been blackmailed into delivering the head of a recently executed prisoner to the queen... but when he shows up the guy is unfortunately very alive

Happy Halloween from me, a skeleton!

We're excited announce our final publication for 2025: Crawlspace by Violet Kitchen! It's available for pre-order now on our website and will debut at MICE in December. www.bulgilhanpress.com/store/p/craw...

This is more in-line with what these "rural" cemeteries were designed for anyways. They were effectively public parks where people would picnic and stroll. Now, most cemeteries are both too precious for public use and utterly neglected by their municipalities. Make them public spaces again!

New Screenprinted Moon Phase Calendars for 2026. Behold them! This year's is printed on black paper in green and gold ink and inspired by my daily walks in the Vermont backwoods. www.etsy.com/shop/Punched...

"Gothic" is one of the best bridges between academic and pop-cultural writings on the genre I've found, so I'm EXTREMELY excited to now buy this.

How important is lighting to photographing a gravestone? Here is the same stone at 11:55 am and 12:28 pm on the same day. Raking sunlight picks out every detail in the carving (and even the texture of the stone). grave of silversmith Timothy Dwyt [Dwight] d.1692, Granary Burying Ground, Boston

Two chapters read so far, and I'm all-in. Extremely excited to follow this @ngoziu.com

Not out of Act 1 yet, so maybe this is some serious hubris talking, but I think a lot of people complaining about Silksong are not meeting it where it's at mechanically. It's a very different beast than Hollow Knight even if they superficially look the same.

so far, my favourite shortbox comic! a delightful sex comedy about a pair of dysfunctional fujoshi that has some really, really funny fake yaoi comics in it. if you've ever been around BL culture or the women that inhabit it, this is written with a lot of love for and fond jokes about both.

Some fun names and graves from Hope Cemetery in Barre this weekend.

Heidi has supported so many cartoonists just starting out, including me- please donate if you can to help her out during a series of hardships no one should have to endure.

Almost Home - this month’s riso print to ring in the fall. Not sure how to describe it, but this time of year always feels like I’m almost “home” so I wanted to come up with something that touches on that feeling a little

Welcome in the Fall season by checking out my cozy gothic mystery series, where queer kids solve occult crimes. Find the Deephaven Mysteries wherever you get books!

there's never been a better time than right now to get lincolnpilled. well i guess 1858 or so would have been pretty good too but since then

This fall, CCS will host a series of low-cost ($5), 90-minute webinars. All proceeds will go to sponsor zine fests around the USA that CCS supports.

Ta-Nehisi Coates has written the best yet commentary on last week's events, while pundits, politicians and others have disgraced themselves in their whitewashing of of this man's legacy. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

not an exaggeration to say I am WEEPING with laughter at this reply from someone who hadn't seen that Robert Redford died today

Shoutout to the person who added a tiny little branch to the menu for the apple to hang from in Citadel: Adventure of the Crystal Keep (1989)

Real people are in your community waiting to meet you and be chill about your explicit art. Shun the internet.

Finished a new screenprint to bring with me to SPX! I originally had a totally different colorway planned, but decided to experiment with a rainbow roll instead and am extremely happy I did.

I was literally just saying yesterday: when Silksong finally comes out, if it IS awesome and sells gangbusters (and I think both will be true) I hope both game companies and fans can take note.

(pronounced Cape Cod accent) goddamn Memento Mori skeleton guy got in the house, keeps fackin tellin me to remembah i'm mortal. i said thank fack, means i ain't gotta keep listenin ta youwah bony ass.

It is so, so important to learn to understand the difference between A Gross Thing That Freaks Me Out, versus A Thing Which Causes Actual Harm In The World because as long as you can't navigate the difference, your disgust is a lever that can be used to manipulate you

I don't want to condemn itch, (who, if the quoted numbers are right, has their library cut down to a QUARTER with this choice), but this is a giant blow for queer comics, including me, who re/built their pdf storefronts on itch because they were one of the few platforms left to sell nsfw work.
