I picked up WANTED:DEAD because it was 5 bucks and it's become probably my favorite game I played this year. Also it was universally maligned and slept on so it's never going to get a sequel. A perfect little bubble of weirdness to appreciate in perpetuity.

I think my self-esteem for the year actually peaked TODAY, when I got a DM that said "I wanted to buy some Maru Kiru posters but you don't have any in your shop." Well I DO NOW and thank you very much for lighting my fire for the year to come :D ko-fi.com/s/3ecb44f723

When I was a kid I was walking down the street in NYC with my parents. We spotted Jeff Goldblum walking ahead of us with some people. My dad shouted "HEY JEFF!" and he turned around with a smile on his face. He saw us waving and looked really confused, waved back and kept walking XD

Well this year was... a mess. Definitely a rollercoaster ride I did not consent to. Regardless, it was also fairly productive in terms of my art, so here's a summary. Happy Holidays! #artsummary #artsummary2025 #art #bskyart

Rad mess I drew in 2025 😎

Merry Christmas! Let’s go kill Skeletrex

Happy Holidays from Maru and the gang. Stay warm and bring your enemies to their knees!

May your lamps burn long, and what waits beyond the light forgets your name this cycle. Happy holidays!

Planning 2026 stuff, now's the time XD

"Looks like Darksiders" is a comment I get a lot on tik tok and I'm cool with that cuz Darksiders fuckin' rules. What's something your art gets compared to that makes you smile?

"Brendan you've been quiet for like a month" Yeah I've been burning down all my commission and comics work so I can take some days off over the holidays. Gonna start 2026 with a CLEAN SLATE.

Was happy to jump at the chance to pencil a Doug Wood book. & Travis' ink and color work has been crazy as well. This is a hell of a team, I'm proud to be a part of it!

Literally the reason I am an artist is that 13 years ago, I was a writer who couldn't afford one. I ended up liking drawing SOOOO much more than writing, it's become my entire life. Don't rob yourself of your entire life.

Great time at The Battle Standard yesterday! It was great to launch my custom Flesh and Blood cards and to see so many people excited to grab them :D

This is my comic Maru Kiru Destroy the Moon! It's a high-octane fantasy action comic and it rules! #selfpromosaturday #comics You can read it here: marukirudestroythemoon.thecomicseries.com You can buy the print editions here: ko-fi.com/brendanalbet...

F-ZERO has a MASSIVE cast of weirdos and a ready-made setting full of high octane action and 20th century retro-futurism. Yo Nintendo, call me, let's make more comics than this rad one from the 1990 instruction manual

Been meaning to do this for a minute but I've got a lot of irons in the indie fire so it took me a while! FIRST Maru Kiru Destroy the Moon! My creator owned series, and a one-person operation! Webcomic site starts updating again in January 2026! Next print issue will probably hit Q2 2026.

New update on the Maru Kiru Destroy the Moon webcomic site! #comics

My hot comic take is all wfh comic shit should be paid a salary, every other week, like everyone else at the publishing company. I’m tired of hearing about our colleagues crowdfunding funerals and healthcare.

Any other industry would consider this a fair trade off: You get a decent salary & benefits with no claim to ownership of characters or concept. It's basically the deal I had as an in-house graphic designer, for example. But no, we can't even get that anywhere in comics.

Your mom.

I Hate Christmas 2018.
