Worked on the neck seal some today. I wanted biomechanical and ended up with this so far. Just letting my brain do whatever. It’s really relaxing.

Beat me to it. 😆

Well, I *was* going to clean my windshield.

Holy crap inflation is crazy. I mean, I know it is, but seeing the numbers is shocking. I was looking something up about Poe and needed to check inflation from 1981 to 2026. $9,287 in 1981 is worth $33,114.64 today A cumulative price increase of 256.57%.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

WorkspaceWednesday with the broken doll molding! Sorry there’s no mold reveal, my arthritis is flaring up and cleaning the mold is 😰 #maskmaker #moldmaking #latexmask #processvideo

NEW ESSAY — Christine Jacobson’s “Typing for Love or Money”, on the neglected efforts of women like Theodora Bosanquet, Véra Nabokov, and Valerie Eliot, who — through their work as typists and editors — had a profound impact on modern literature: publicdomainreview.org/essay/typing...

This is a great point. I touch on this sometimes in my discussions about Edgar Allan Poe's life. I'll give a quicky version here (in between answering emails and snorting heavily sugared coffee at my desk). 🧵

I was just at a campus event, wearing my warm quarter-zip sweater. My coworker looked at me for awhile and said, "You shouldn't be wearing that. It doesn't look right on you. You should always be wearing a costume." I agree.

"actually his stuff was very Derivative and not Original" like, you don't have to do this. it is good for us all to sit with the cognitive dissonance that a very bad person can make very good art. it is good for us to work through the moral ramifications of that.

I feel bad talking to new cosplayers who want to learn how I made stuff; lately the Minotaur. I want to say: Look, I just put my head down and start making mistakes. Eventually the mistakes add up in a way that looks good. Instead, I send links to materials and online tutorials I think are good.

Commissions are open! The form will likely be up for one week, but I might leave it open longer than that depending on response. forms.gle/Q4n5P6jdZpmL... And the crow is nearly done! It'll go up for auction later this week as well, after I've gotten some photos.

To everyone who can openly declare that they are transgender, and to everyone who cannot yet come out to those around them🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 The world has not yet fully seen the dawn, but let’s continue to support one another. Chiitan is here with everyone’s hearts. Everyone is beautiful♡

Back in July, I performed at the Needful Things shop in Woodstock, IL, which just happens to be on the town square where most of the exteriors were filmed for Groundhog Day. They do a huge Groundhog Day festival every year. I wish I was there now to see it.

This is what Science refers to as a “whole ass mood.”

IT IS #MINOTAURMONDAY AND GROUNDHOG DAY FOR SOME REASON POST MINOTAURS REPEATEDLY

This shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

Tweet so good I had to post it here

Apparently if i only post my videos of projects as replies they won’t show up in my video gallery, so i guess need to fix that with my cardboard werewolf mask as the final parts don’t show. That’s why you seein’em again I will say that raw cardboard look always has some sort of charm to it #art

@murk1572 says accurately "Alternative title: Technology connections talks about solar and then goes nuclear" www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtQ9...

No no no, I didn't say you might want to watch this. I say you NEED to watch this and share it. Watch all of it. ALL OF IT. youtu.be/KtQ9nt2ZeGM?...

Amazing at every minute. Come for the info about how solar power will happen no matter what, stay for a Midwesterner speaking out about all of this right now. youtu.be/KtQ9nt2ZeGM?...

I was rewatching "Enemy" directed by directed by Denis Villeneuve so of course I'm primed to talk about Poe's "William Wilson". You can read it here: www.eapoe.org//works/tales... 🧵

Catherine O’Hara didn’t steal scenes she just showed up and ownership automatically defaulted to her

Oh man, this one hurts. Catherine O’Hara was an absolute comic genius. Just so sharp and always calibrated perfectly to the moment. Gone way too young. Rest in peace, you brilliant star.

Rising to prominence in the 17th century, the Basohli School of painting is particularly known for its vibrant use of color and inventive textural elements — including iridescent beetle carapaces: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/basohli-beetle-paintings

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈I dream of the day when the world can become a place where transgender people can live proudly and freely as themselves, and where they can love freely As a mascot, I see human love as beautiful and wonderful. I love you all today as well♡

An “auto”-biographical film in the most literal sense, this 1943 US propaganda short is told from the Jeep’s own point of view — a strange and revealing piece of wartime self-mythmaking: publicdomainreview.org/collection/a...

I left my old job a couple of years ago. I’m getting by (just) but crikey, having done my tax return & seen how little I’m earning it was a shocker, it’s getting more & more difficult to earn money from illustration. I have been out of action too so…I’ll get cracking! Buy my art (FEBRUARY) 🙏🏻

lmao i’ve never experienced this type of muscle fatigue 😇

The tipping point. #grickledoodle #minotaur #myths #maze #life #cartoon #art #drawing #funny
