Oh, that's old Neal B. Forsod and his friends Evil Lyn and I Thought He Was Jaws.

I'm trying to feel good about The Worlds Between Us. Like it has a chance. I hope so. I need it to. This is what I do, for better or for worse. And I should be able to make a living doing it if it's good or better, yeah? And I MUST do it regardless. And I enjoy it while it burns me down.

Oh, and there's still two (2) slots left for #KoFi #commissions! ko-fi.com/onegemini/co... These b&w waist-up digitally delivered pieces of any character/OC/friend/loved one/pet start at $35! Samples of past commissions below!

Coco feeling better all the time. Still could improve jumping. Still supposed to get another week without stairs/stress, but I think he's getting tired of being isolated in my eldest's room. Commission me! Still have about $800ish needed to meet the bill. Thank you to those who have helped!

Very proud to announce publication of newest NYC CIVICS FOR ALL COMICS GROUP comic KNOW YOUR RIGHTS! Created w/ Project Open Arms & @nycimmigrants.bsky.social! Words by @alexsegura.com art @davidhahn.bsky.social colors E. Wright letters @tayloresposito.bsky.social. www.weteachnyc.org/resources/re...

Also, for those not in the know, comic book page rates (what we're paid per page) haven't really gone up since the 80s. We should be making over $1k per page with inflation, but nope, I've never made more than $360 for an interior page (penciled, inked, colored). Nowadays, indies get me about $180.

Not that they really ever stopped, and it's fine they look there, but I loathe how the bigger comic pubs will see someone Stateside ask about a higher page rate, so they just go get someone from another country they can pay even less (even when the person is skilled). Fuck you, really.

RE: #TheWorldsBetweenUs My editor is the ONLY person who seems to have understood and appreciated my Georgia O'Keeffe joke.

Hahahahahah Noah Kahan Fenway tix are going for up to $23000 on the secondary market. No, that isn't an extra zero. These are also nosebleeds. FOUR concerts I definitely will not be going to. Might be cheaper to fly to the other side of the country and get a ticket.

I have to ask... why is Jesus so cross?

Most edits on #TheWorldsBetweenUs are minor grammatical, standards, and the like. A few suggestions I may or may not take on dialogue. And a whole new poem (wut? just wait...) to work in.

Depression is fun. Cos you can wake up. Be up for a couple hours. Feel real tired, and realize you don't want to go back to sleep, you want to find something beyond even that. It's not that I don't want to be alive. It's that I don't want to be.

Editor has returned the book to me. I start going through edits today.

Hey - @mitchgerads.bsky.social - check your DMs!

Thrilled to announce that THE OCTOBER GIRL Book One is a Foreward Indies Award winner for young adult fiction!!! EEEEEEEEEeeeee!!!

In all the excitement for this weekends game announcements, don’t forget about all the devs that have been laid off in the last few years. Imagine how much better games could be if people weren’t tossed aside for profit & corporate greed. We may never know how it could have been.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 500: You're allowed to enjoy your job. You're entitled to be paid for doing it. The fact that you may enjoy it doesn't make it less of a real job than something you would enjoy less. And even if it isn't your primary source of income, if you write, you're a writer.

That time I illustrated a promo piece for Beyond Mode 7, a SNES honoring comic anthology. While I played Link to the Past when I was a kid, I didn't finish it until I was in my 20s.

From my In Suits series. This gentleman is sharp.

My 1 year old is getting the hang of walking... sorta. She just did 23 steps in a row.

Ugh things suck, and that includes money stuff unfortunately Any help is appreciated ko-fi.com/weredawgz

Vet bill help? Coco is feeling better but still has an appointment on the 10th to get his incisions checked. He is still not jumping as high as he could, but he is happy. He gave me tongue kisses on the lips. Ew.

Claudie is a little under $4k CAD off to make this happen. There's a whole BUNCH of authors in this anthology so let's help get them printed, published, and paid! All or nothing on crowdfunding so help some aros out wouldja? Reposts always appreciated! Send it along!

Sigh. [screams forever]

Youtubers with Ai thumbnails; I know some of you had yours replaced by YT allegedly. This is to those of you who obviously did it on purpose. I watch a second of your video and pause it then give you a thumbs down - if I don't just click on "don't recommend channel" first. Get with shit.

taking what's not yours

Tomorrow! 11am PST! Link below!

This is totally unrelated to my last post. I'm just posting this interesting link. airandspace.si.edu/exhibitions/...

This came up in a conversation with artfriend on FB, but A FEW FOLKS/PLACES THAT HAVE REJECTED ME (cos some people seem to think artists get whatever gig they want, cos we're smart and rich and handsomebeautiful); Marvel, DC, Image, Pixar, most of my girlfriends, and half of my 9 to 5 employment...

Guys. Is Giles killing Ben/Glory cold as fuck or what? ...he did the right thing.

Ugh. Woke up mad. Then stressed all morning. Now just... sad.

A story I love about Anthony Stewart Head. Thank you to this person for sharing it on Tumblr. What a mensch.

even when i would think i moved on from buffy, i'd think of this one www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxH7...

Godspeed, Giles. #AnthonyStewartHead

Oh man, this one really hurts. Thank you for Giles, and then for decades of playing oily bastards who were nothing like Giles and clearly having a ball with that. www.bbc.com/news/article...

In honor of Anthony Head I think everyone should force themselves to sit down and watch the beautiful, horrible, wonderful, terrible masterpiece that is Repo! The Genetic Opera.

oh damn, literally JUST saw the news RIP to a hell of a performer www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXcq...

I know who I should draw today. :\

Would've taken Anthony Head as Doctor any day.

www.bbc.com/news/article... FUCK.

I know a bovine that needs a screwworm infestation. He fired all of the screw worm monitors.

If you see this, post your bird #art!

In other news - um... all the best to the folks on the ISS or soon to not be on the ISS. o_0
