Thank you Ray Schmidt for lending your artistic talents to this album when the slipcover got lost.

Got a new sweatshirt to try it out with. Roger Dean logo design goated.

Also chair!

Did you know? Cat sit on pillow.

Yes is one of my favorite bands, no question. Incredible seeing them live. Steve How is an absolutely amazing guitarist. A wonderful night.

Aww hell yeah

people measurably don’t want to pay for AI-generated content. you can’t grow a business off of a product no one will pay for. you don’t need to be an AI skeptic to understand that using AI like this will kill your business.

If you don't want gen AI in your manga, anime, game, and light novel translations, now is the time to make your voice heard. Write to your favorite publishers and developers and ask if they are incorporating LLMs into their process. And most importantly, tell them you will vote with your dollars.

i simply do not purchase anything that says it used AI in its creative process and will forever be suspicious of companies that use it. breaks consumer trust immediately!

Oh damn, u heard about this? a.co/d/0mVmipB

Practicing alphabets with an Ames Guide and a variety of pens, mainly pigment liners of sizes 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7. Trying alternate letterforms, and seeing how pen sizes work at different scales. The 1.1 fountain pen I have is too big to use at these scales. Excited to try with smaller nibs soon.

This movie also has Harry Dean Stanton, so it's worth watching by default

Took me until today to realize that I can layer a sweatshirt over a collared shirt. Maybe should have realized that sooner, but i like it.

AND it was the 17th anniversary of me buying 007 Quantum of Solace on the Wii for full price on release day.

Credits roll on Bugonia. Guy a few seats over: Mamdani won His friend: is he the hot one? Guy: yeah Friend: nice

Happy Birthday to Yoshiyuki Tomino, famous creator of Brain Powerd.

Constantly thinking about this piece of Dunbine fan art from one of the Animages all the time

I like this kind of phonetic spelling of cut-off words in comics. "DEA" on its own can be read as "deh", "dee", or "dee-uh". Context would tell us it's "deh" once we get to the word "death", but I like how the phonetic spelling gets rid of any ambiguity right off the bat.

Oh boy, nice

i cannot get over this drawing of stephen king araki drew

To be clear, our advice would resolutely be "Billy Bat is pointless if it's not in the format of a comic." but they should ask us and pay us anyways.

Default mammal. You wanna build a mammal you need to use her as your base.

Chloe Zhao, please bring me and @lettererbrendo.bsky.social on as consultants when you inevitably realize that Billy Bat is the best thing in the Kodansha catalog

Listening to a cd in the car is so nice. Full album of music I like. Plays all the way through and repeats.

Excitedly asking everyone in the discord call if they heard my cat

"One Fear" and "Ebbing on my Neezer" are two meme formats that got super popular but absolutely none of the variations will ever be funnier than their original configurations. Impossible.

Bones and All is one of the best Reznor and Ross soundtracks, and a deceptively romantic and sweet movie despite being a YA novel cannibal story.

Being irresponsible by allowing my brother to build a model kit from Gundam Seed Destiny

It's obscene how a college football game destroys the ability of anyone else to go downtown. You get random businesses more than a mile away from the stadium charging $20 to park in their employee lot. And this is not a public transit city.

Watched Connor O’Malley’s Rap World and was blown away by how vividly and specifically they captured that point in time. I have been in those parking lots. I have been to those parties. I have smoked those cigarettes. I have filmed everything because it felt so important. youtu.be/NkARD8oTzOM?...

Ideal Rap World watching experience

I've been practicing lettering with pen and paper a lot recently. The letter S can be composed in so many different ways. Comic lettering is usually small-scale, and S can be a dense letter with tight curves. It's fascinating seeing how different fonts render the letter.

The new edition of Mushishi is using CC Ask for Mercy for dialogue! Bless the letterer and editor on this project for choosing that. It's such a huge improvement over the prior edition.

This is gonna be the weekend where I finally learn to make speech bubbles in Illustrator.

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

Thinking a lot about line weight, original dimensions of art, how it's reproduced, what scale it might be worked with down the line, and what scale it's distributed at. Then how line weight changed across all those.

I really need to throw the dub for Elf Princess Rane/Fairy Princess Ren dub at Coop and Lucas - Coastal handled hair guy super well.

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

I’m sorry to the folks who felt attacked by this post. I’m not trying to make you feel like your art is bad, or that you should just hand-letter everything. Lettering is an art that I care a great deal about. Searching for a font that matches your style is worth taking the time to do
