They have always been the party of censorship. They never hated "cancel culture" they hated being held to account. They still know they aren't right. But they need to feel like they are. So they are going to ruin lives and kill the future until they feel better about themselves... Or we stop them.

New poster

Creating the hellscape no one wants or needs

Corporations are not your friends. They are about investors making money in any way possible. I wish people would realize this.

For those in the US, it looks like several Robert Redford films are available on Tubi, including the following: The Natural Jeremiah Johnson The Chase And Kanopy: All is Lost Barefoot in the Park The Great Gatsby Downhill Racer

It's okay to think some stuff is shit. You may go a little crazy pretending it isn't. That irritation will build.

Good morning from a rainy, squally Tokyo. Typhoon15 is passing through. But other parts of the country have had a lot worse rainfall and flooding than we'll likely see here. My thoughts with them. So, if you're out and about in Japan today, stay safe and stay as dry as possible. Luv&peace. ❤️🙏☔

I’m admittedly very hesitant about anytime anyone copies the Akira poster, but when Otomo himself draws it🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

I follow several remodelers, architects, etc based in Japan, and it’s always so depressing to see the homes they build have cold white walls with zero art hung up.

Today:

For a Few Dollars More

I don’t give a shit about the logo, but I honestly had no idea Cracker Barrel was even a restaurant or that it still existed as a business

As evening falls (Sapporo)

Cragside today - might have been built by the first international arms dealer (Lord Armstrong), but it's a very cool place with some beautiful sights!

Just sent this out to the mailing list, but here's the short version: I'm raising funds for Citizens Advice with some of my work colleagues, if you'd like to chip in (and/or sponsor me to run the Sheffield 10K in a luchador mask) please have a look: www.avivacommunityfund.co.uk/p/steel-city...

Anyone know how to look after one of these little guys?

“Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In” is available on Kanopy. I had no idea.

This little short fiction project of mine has been on hiatus for a while, but I will be back with a new installment soon! Here is the first part. Thanks in advance for reading! ko-fi.com/post/Invasio...

With the constant price hikes and pulling content away, I've already cancelled a lot of services. Moves like this just convince me that I've done the right thing - and I probably won't come back. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

More studying🤘🏼

Colorists— I have a grayscale comic cover that is to be colored; some of the details I’ve drawn can probably be removed or replaced in the coloring process. In this case, is it best to provide a file with layers? Or is a flattened file with small grayscale details hidden/removed better? #comics

Last night & tonight

Some new study materials

I hadn’t been to Tokyo since moving to Sapporo five years ago but needed to go for an art-related meeting. Saw a great show and met some friends as well. Next time hopefully I can go in a cooler month.

Back to a reasonable climate🛫

✌🏼

My first Tokyo summer in 4–5 years

After a dinner chat with wife and her sister about them going for a 3 day trip in June, I booked to go to Tokyo May 27/28 for The World of Masamune Shirow Exhibition at the Setagaya Literary Museum. Before Summer and The Rainy Season, but who knows with the changed climate here now...

One of the best shows I’ve seen lately

Three more pages of storyboards. Also the pages I forgot I didn’t finish writing🤦‍♂️

Power to all those protesting for their rights and for their communities.

Whenever you feel intimidated or fearful of your government, that's when they're straying from democracy.

While looking for a very specific line in an article I once read, I made the mistake of reading through some very poor analyses of Kurosawa films. All by people who seemingly have never watched a single movie in their life.

I probably shouldn’t, but I dislike whenever people with whom I have no past interactions send me DMs selling their work, no matter how much I otherwise would support them. Especially when they don’t even follow me. I feel bad for unfollowing someone who just did it, but DMs aren’t your newsletter

My show at the Sapporo airport ended on May 26. A big thanks to everyone who stopped by, commented and shared online, etc.🙏🏼
