For today’s episode of “Stupid and Meaningless Product Slogans”: Shiner Bock - “Independent to the last drop” Someone please explain to me what that’s supposed to mean beyond triggering a Pavlovian response to anything that sounds faintly “patriotic.”

In tonight’s main story, the bitter feud between famed candy moguls Mike Michaelson and Ike Ikaelson has entered its third week, with no signs of stopping. The reason behind the feud is still unknown, but one anonymous source claims the phrase “stupid ugly butthead-butt” may have sparked it. 1/2

@birdbonesco.bsky.social Hi! Apologies for a tag instead of a direct message; I’m the guy who stopped by your Comicpalooza booth right before closing on Saturday the 23rd. I showed you a couple of my pieces & you said I could reach out online, so that’s what I’m doing. I’d love to hear from you!

Like any human over the age of thirty, Luke is always up for a nap when he can get one. A nap during a work break *would* be risky, but when Yuri is around, he’s more than happy to help make sure Luke doesn’t oversleep. #oc #ocsky #art #physicalart #ink #originalart #library #cartoon #sketch

My new most-pettily hated word is "chocolatey." So many cookies, candies, & ice creams with real chocolate, now reduced to oily imitations of their former glory. I know Hershey's isn't high-quality, but at least it *is* chocolate. Just *tell* us you're cheap, greedy pricks you corporate shipdits.

@dreamedaway.com Just finished the final chapter of #DreamedAway & definitely have thoughts. Beautiful marriage of Mother 3 style & Undertale gameplay, but with an unexpected feeling of Illusion of Gaia/Time for SNES. Somber tone, alternating between safe and dangerous areas, the largely solo /1 🧵

How does Fozzy bear like to cook his stirfry? In a wok-a wok-a.

Tried #DreamedAway last night, like the old days when it was just me & a game all night. Small problem since I had work today, but that 1st impression lasted 6 hours, so clearly A+ stuff. Like Mother 3? Like Undertale? Like it when both those games get too real? You’ll love this. @dreamedaway.com

something i really love about bill watterson: his (well-earned) mystique comes from his privacy, not from sharing a notion with many of his peers that art is a divine, magical process. when he DOES speak to the public he distills and clarifies the craft in such amazingly practical, articulate terms

👍

if i could give advice to new bsky artists it'd be this: get involved with similar artists. be part of the "scene". find artists that you love & tell them so even if they aren't always a fan of your work. get involved with artshares & don't just post and go, actually meeting your peers is vital.

The best thing in the near term that's gonna come out of these pilots isn't piles of money for WB/CN, as they're too dense to seize the bag, but everyone should start following the other work the pilots' creators are doing; follow their socials, webcomics, etc. Show them love if the biz won't!!

“Sludge” is a very underrated food type. Oatmeal? Oat sludge. Hummus? Chickpea sludge. Tomato soup? Tomato sludge. Ice cream? Frozen milk sludge. Love the sludge. Consume the sludge.

Is it just me or is “Treat You Better” by Shawn Mendes incredibly incel-coded?

I drew in Photoshop for a good while but haven’t used it for #digitalart since I heard it now auto-tags files it makes as AI. I’m 100% #noAI so I’m not sure what to do. Switch away, sure, but in the meantime can I prove my work is mine or am I screwed even mentioning Photoshop? Am I overthinking it?

#oc #art #originalart #cartoon #digitalart #ocsky #spider #library #comic Took too long to do, but I think I learned a bit fiddling around with the marker tool in #Sketchbook In Luke’s line of work an odd name is barely worth a blink.

The opening ten seconds of the theme song from the cartoon “Doug” but it just loops forever and gets louder every time

Cartoon: If anyone in Chicago knows this school or an anti ICE organization affiliated with them I would be happy to donate this art. I only wish I could have fully Sal Buscema-ed that punch :)

This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous. Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

Just saw part of an ad for ArtList AI. You can tell it (the commercial, the program, whichever) was made by someone with no creativity of their own because if they had any, they would have known instantly how easily that can be changed to “Artless AI.” Which is so on-the-nose, it’s just sad. #noAI

Loot that drops after defeating me: - 2 lbs of crumpled grocery receipts - dented plastic bottle - half-used tube of Carmex - nice leather gloves - random comic - 500-page book of half-remembered song lyrics - between 3 and 18 pens of varying ink level and age (guaranteed drop)

Now that there’s actually a (1) thing there, here’s where I’ll post my NSFW work: @vickthegryphon.bsky.social I don’t think I (or anyone) *need(s)* to keep NSFW separate, just testing at the moment. Could always be a merger later! If you like smut *and* what I do here, follows would be swell!

#vibrant #art #originalart #digitalart #color #illustration #bird Another piece I did on my phone in the #SketchbookApp I didn’t have any particular goal in mind doing this, I just made a starting shape and then painted by vibes for a bit. Think I’m pretty happy with it.

Fuck ICE. Sharing screenshots of a great post from The Financial Diet on IG that compiles some helpful jumping-off points if you’re still feeling helpless and don’t know what to do. (Part 1 of 2)

Ah drawded a spydee. #oc #originalart #sketch #physicalart #ink #cartoon #ocsky #spider Miriam is one of the most frequent patrons of Luke’s library. Luke likes her because as well as being polite and a little (spider-sized, in fact) cutie-patootie, she helps keep the place free of silverfish.

THIS HOUSE HAS GOOD BONES

You get the weirdest guests at the library sometimes. #oc #originalart #sketch #physicalart #ink #cartoon #ocsky Could’ve sworn those had all been disarmed…
