Lmao in my 10 years of being in publishing, I’ve never heard of a book club asking an author to pay THEM to read the book. Sooooo goofy.

Job offer!! I’m helping a PBS series look for a social media manager/content creator for an upcoming promotional campaign. The start date is ASAP, and a project timeline that currently goes to July. This is for a series on American Muslim history, so candidates with cultural familiarity preferred!

Last night

Reading Mother Mary Comes to Me by Arundhati Roy, and her command of language is so beautiful. I don't consider myself much of a "memoir reader", but every couple years there is one that knocks me off my feet.

Five jobs I’ve had - alumni call center fundraiser (horrific) - assistant to a well known art historian - “feminist” media company unpaid intern - assistant librarian - 6th through 10th grade art teacher at a private school

Yall can normalize gambling ads over my cold fucking corpse

A character’s own blood that forms into a physical weapon is the coolest anime trope. I don’t care how often I see it, it is always badass.

First week having only one job in like 8 years this is kinda sick

I had to stop watching those YouTube channels where people get berated for the state of their finances, because nothing kills me more than delivery food app apologists.

You have to understand I love this lil rat more than anything and everyone else is in a very far 2nd place

Artist friend: I learned to draw because I loved pokemon so much. Art teacher: I drew because I wanted to see myself in my fav stories Mentee: I made art as gifts for my parents, their joy encouraged me Me: I was failing calculus in highschool and had to do SOMETHING with my hands

Sneak peeks

so if I want to paint something transparent….I have to also paint what’s behind it….

Imagine a world where we can have airplane seat pricing model, but now for movie theaters. Follow for more ideas to piss you off.

Everytime I accidentally leave a tiktok on loop I feel like I’m brainwashing myself

I created a video for work that’s a compilation of quirky snippets from different people’s conversations, with the caption “overheard at the office” There’s negative comments now from people believing I was recording without permission?? 😭😭 capturing crisp audio through walls????

Trying to get through the big brain thinking part of this illustration plz pray for me

Oh, I fear no one else comes close to Rosalia’s range, nor ever will. She’s HER, she’s HIM, she’s the ONEEEE

There is genuinely nothing quite like a solid drawing session with no interruption for a piece where I know exactly what I want to do.

Finished my first semester of teaching (and likely last for a long while due to my schedule). I only cried twice during the last class, which is less than my initial projections. A win is a win.

The curse of being a comic artist is you can’t help but start critiquing memes online and think about how their text placement isn’t moving the readers eye around correctly

"How do I find my art style?" I've been a creative pro for 10 years, this is the number 1 question I get. They want creative work to be recognizably theirs in an instant-- like Miyazaki or Wes Anderson movies. This is the formula for art style, it's much simpler than you think.

I would like to get the job for whoever is in charge of approving licensed Kirby products

Blacked out and now my presentation for tomorrow’s workshop is over 100+ slides long (not including the videos and PDFs I link out to) I’m at my most powerful

With the sweeping changes in AI, we can look forward to these future jobs in tech: — logic anesthesiologist — data bowler — archive juggler — code cryptologist — lil guy — lactose intolerant

Tried frieren trend angle after appreciating posts all week. Very humbling.

pov: you finally get the greenlight to post what you illustrated for a major IP

How did I used to read hundreds of pages a day as a teenager 😭 just BURNED through fantasy books. I am using absolutely all my willpower to get through these 200 pages before book club tomorrow.

BOSTON! I’m doing a comics and storytelling workshop this coming Tuesday. Come through and get some stories out of your system.

“Computer, enhance.”

I yearn. I open the MoMA design store site. I scroll. Feel love and lust over furniture and kitchenware. I see the prices. I weep.

I need more Frankenstein art, inject it in my veins

Absolutely loved Del Toro’s Frankenstein. I too would like to smooch the monster.

Treat yourself to a floor sit. Sit on that floor. Zone out and give up a lil, and then snap out of it when ur back starts to hurt. Nothing like a good ol floor sit after a long day.

I finished writing up the very last of my lesson plans for my very first semester teaching What’s my purpose anymore

The cruelest thing you can do is teach fear of failure.

Genuinely surprised to see that The Adventure Zone is still going

I need the opposite of finding dupes. My algorithm keeps giving me cute clothes made out of awful cheap material. I wanna know what original design they ripped off

Could not figure out why I was tagged in this post, until I realized this account is a romance publisher I made a cover for LOL

day in the life of a social media manager

On inspection, my breakfast looks like what I would give a prize winning show dog to help them grow a beautiful coat

I just don’t think human artist will ever be able to be replaced!!! Like from conception to execution this is so cool x: www.instagram.com/reel/DQZU5bu...

I think naturally my next step after a career in fantasy book writing and marketing is joining the CIA. Would really love to be in the writers room for pitches like “make it look like vampires only kill communists”

Teaching is so goofy. How are both of these notes in the same lesson plan: 1) Man created god so god could create man 2) Notice the inclusion of nipples on Robin's 90s costume
