Made my own drawing board for a little under $70 using a piece of birch, a photography "cheese plate", and a tripod. I've been using it for a few days now and it's fantastic: customizable height, comes apart for transport/storing, and customizable. I'm going to write up a little tutorial soon!

It's a tough choice, but I think if it came down to it Howl's would be my favourite. If I'm not sure what I want to watch, or just generally want to feel good, I'll regularly cycle through Spirited Away, Kiki's Delivery Service, Princess Mononoke, Nausicaa, and The Boy and the Heron.

Heyy, it’s New Year’s Eve! It’s been a really productive year for me art-wise! Despite getting in a car accident in January, and being stressed out about money ever since, I really stayed on track; good job, me. Anyways, see you fellers in 2026! Here’s my favorite joke I wrote/drew this year.

I'm really happy with the result of my 2025 bingo card. I'll be writing up a post with new goals and a reflection of last year sometime today.

One of my favorite things in class - last day of term in my intro comics class, I do a whirlwind recap of every single thing we did over the term - then I have Ss each sketch out a main takeaway from the course & take turns explaining & sticking down to big sheet. It’s a blast! Some highlights 1/3

Here is a French Christmas ad for a supermarket. It has infinitely better look, story, and message. It actually sparks joy in you rather than leaving you depressed, unlike Coca-Cola and McDonald's AI ads.

Heads up for all my art friends that have an online store.

I’ve hit the point in my life where I’d rather wait two years for a game to come out in “Deluxe Platinum GOTY + DLC” edition for 70% off, than buy at launch

November went by so fast. Here's the recap! Hey, please subscribe if you haven't! I work REALLY hard on the newsletter and it'd be so cool if I got to 100 English-speaking subscribers ☺️ buttondown.com/Cabtastic/ar...

IF YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE A COMIC... Please talk about it on this thread! I would love to hear what stage you are at, what is working well, and what has proven more difficult than you thought. Share a bit of art, if you can! Sing your own praises, if you like!

I watched Fantastic Mr. Fox yesterday (another Reynard fable classic), and it's apt that the next comic is all about foxes doing what they do best. ---> New Beast Fables 🦊🐓🐿️! iskotaa.com/comics/beast...

I have American in-laws, so our household observes The Other Thanksgiving, but in the most Canadian way possible: we put the stuffing, veg, and meat into a slow cooker and then *walk away*. Pour up a glass of wine and watch Planes, Trains and Automobiles. This is the way.

cool, mostly art, film making, audio stuff, but creative stuff grantsforcreatorscanada.substack.com/p/grants-for... #Canada

I'm an "A.i." abolitionist. No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything. Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine. But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires? No.
