mastodon is the answer to the question “what if everyone with posters madness also had admin power”

Have I ever told people here this one time on Mastodon I was voicing a petty & generic grievance about how the whole "federated timelines" worked, and then suddenly the moderator of that instance showed up to comment on my post.

So basically done nothing but sleeping recently after the comics fest at Helsinki (&chipping at some commissions) and honestly am getting concerningly into sleeping

Kiitos kaikille upeasta festivaaliviikonlopusta ja nähdään taas ensi vuonna - kokonaan uudessa paikassa! Festivaalien palautelomake on nyt auki! forms.gle/EpjyoVFDbEiH...

Bluesky is a wonderful place that has flourished in large part because of its artists and intolerance towards facists/Nazis. The Updated policy currently going into effect Oct 15 could fuck that up and we should be very vocal about it. Here are some specific things to mention in feedback (THREAD)

Rat grasping a soybean pod netsuke, Japan, 19th century

I dunno what's happened but does this mean I should post something horny while no one's looking?

Today I am here. Come if you want comics to buy

I do like that there is currently two reboot/remake shows, Yaiba & I argue Ranma, that actually make a case for itself quite well & doesn't feel like it's competing with a predecessor it absolutely has no chances against.

Oh yeah, I've also been watching the new Yaiba anime. I had actually seen the old one as a kid so my expectations were low, but am pleasantly surprised that it's a focused reworking of the OG with decades of hindsight & passion. Also these postcard memories in Aoyama's style is very classy.

The calligraphy fight at the beginning of Magnificent Butcher is one of my all-time favorite action scenes. Whether you see it through Criterion or hit up that particular scene on YouTube, I recommend it highly.

I need to know who the Finland Guy working at Hoyo how does Genshin also have Finnish rep now

Reactions like this to brians story show why it's valuable to keep talking about. As artists we are living the situation and assume others are aware, but the truth is most people do not know

How is globalcomix as a hosting platform, guys?

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

Last month I was in the grips of playing too much modded Minecraft in my spare time, until I finally got sick of it and on a whim drew the officially licenced Oni Ranma design #art

Actually absurd how fucking good Mitsuteru Yokoyama was.

höhö I'm on there.

Turun sarjakuvakauppa on numero 1 (YKSI!) Helsingin sarjakuvafestivaalien kartalla. Tulkaa viikonloppuna Kaapelitehtaalle hakemaan nimmari suosikkisarjakuvaanne ja jututtamaan taiteilijoita! *Huom! Pidätämme oikeuden signeerausaikataulujen muutoksiin ja lisäyksiin.* Kuvitus: Siiri Viljakka

I've been knocking around an idea that the beauty of civilization is most people don't have to think about it. But that creates the big gaping flaw that most people don't know what is happening or why. They can't understand there is something **much** worse than the DMV.

When you purge all the expertise and surround yourself with yes men, it is essentially government by unqualified and corrupt people, which makes for a terrible customer experience tbh. The only thing they stay good at or get better at is spying on you, hunting dissenters, and torture.

Horror movie where the Child-Eating Cyclops Monster eats children every week, but because he wears a clean suit and tie and frames his desire to eat children as an academic thought experiment, the authorities allow the Cyclops to continue for the sake of civility.

Hanging this on my wall like it's a corona bikini girl poster from the late 90s

Gonna be showing up at Helsinki Comics Festival once again next week

Wake me up when Sakura Wars shows up on Nintendo Direct

A lovely thing, amid the shitshow that's the world… Four years ago, Beau Miles planted a forest. One tree a minute for a whole day. His return video is a joy. Via @kottke.org

Yasuko Kobayashi villain: hhuuuaaah...I'm missing something... Toshiki Inoue villain: (takes off shades to reveal second pair of shades) humanity is missing something. Yuya Takahashi villain: thanks for 500 bits! at the next sub milestone the baby IS going in the woodchipper!

Shozo Uehara villain: yeah you should come to our next meeting, we're gonna be discussing economic vegan alternatives. also might get so high we can smell outer space Hirohisa Soda villain: (does sixteen backflips) If I don't kill my dad in the next five minutes I will explode

Shotaro Ishinomori villain: it's just like the war. every time I close my eyes I can see the faces of the lost. even now that warmongering spirit haunts our nation. don't you agree, Captain Satan Squid?

been a minute #nova #revenant

Most importantly, don't forget about Tsuguyuki Kubo. Character designer for a majority of Rankin Bass productions & key animator for a ton of anime since 1966 & still working.

This explains it better than I can

Laptop's keyboard has stopped working after latest Windows update. Hm

Real

1st episode of Zetz actually pretty cool I'd say. Wow maybe the Reiwa era is gonna work out

Requesting someone who can speak Cantonese to help out with a name transliteration 📯

I hope they pull a Netflix Castlevania and actually manage to rope Jiang Wen into the sequel lmao We need more out-of-nowhere production hell rescues

Fun fact: Bao Guo'an, the actor for Cao Cao in 1994 Three Kingdoms series, also worked as a voice actor, dubbing many foreign language films. Notably, he was the voice of Penguin in 1966 Batman, as shown below:

In which I subtweet a very half-remembered, negative Metroid Dread take I saw like years ago where I make the admission that playing Hollow Knight & not really getting it made me realise I actually just like Metroid more so than the overall genre of Metroidvania/Search-Action

It's time for Zhongyuan Festival, just so happens I'm drawing a fourth #blackswanace short comic. I will release it and the third one later down the line once I figure which webcomic platform to use. In the mean time here's the first one

Hot damn, onpa Siiri Viljakka hienosti Hesarissa isohkolla artikkelilla esillä. Toki perinteisesti tässäkin tapauksessa ensin ison maailman pitää kiinnostua, jotta Suomessa tajutaan omien taiteilijoiden osaaminen. Mutta yhtä kaikki, mahtava juttu! @visiiri.bsky.social

This is the first time I've ever seen this Masayuki Cutie Honey storyboard video before. You can really tell its drawn by one of the main directors of NGE (like, even more so) b23.tv/3jpnf8a
