Back from an event, a live read of a small play. Feminist text about motherhood, losing a child. Very good writting and the actresses did a great read. Is very surreal, from the mother's perspective who's going through a severe breakway from reality. "GRITO UMBILICAL" is the name.

Sold out

Oh, I forgot to mention that before Diabolik there were characters like faceless master criminal Fantomas* and vigilante Judex, both of whom are presumed to be influences. *Fantomas is also said to have been an influence on or at least popular among some literary French surrealists.

WE ARE OPEN, having populated a wall with New Comics, shelves with Less New Comics, and cabinets with Trading Cards! Some of the books are still eepy and not upright yet and there are definitely lots more work do be done but YAY WE ARE OPEN AGAIN at 831 Hiawatha Pl S!

It’s also worth mentioning that Cursed Cooking is also jam-packed with a bunch of food horror stories. But we don’t recommend using those for cooking instructions… unless you’re super adventurous… but even then… 🤔 #notliableforfoodmonsters

First interview in Spain done. More later, but it was for antifascist publication whose goal is to “denounce political, social, environmental, and human injustices.” Love it.

Listen, I've been the slowest reader in the world lately, so I'm still reading Moonflow by @bitterkarella.bsky.social (and thoroughly digging it!) Nothing can prepare you for how much "Orinoco Flow" is in this novel.

Funny thing is, this is DAMN CLOSE to the background of one of my characters from the story that @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social accepted. That background story is not yet written in prose though. Maybe it should be.

I finally wrote up my experiences about migrating to a Blacksky server. Hope it's helpful! And big high fives to @rude1.blacksky.team @sharpiepls.com @aliafonzy.blacksky.app @bisprout.writes.fyi and @bradwenner.photo, whose resources & info helped me so much! gregpak.net/2025/11/13/h...

A bunch of my original drawings are up at the Ledding Library, here in Milwaukie, as part of a community themed art show featuring members of the Milwaukie Arts Committee. They’re all for sale too! If you’re around town I hope you’ll check it out.

10 years of study and 4 years of work. May the Spirits be merciful to me. I have attempted to climb their starry ladder and unveil the secrets of their game! The story of many sinners and many saints, the tale of pilgrims and courtesans will serve you as a guide. It is done.

This country is so damn broken.

lol a friend of mine was just told that they're required to use A*I tools at least once a day, 4 days every week, even if you're taking time off, and that this metric will impact their performance reviews. Because "not enough people are using it" AhhhhhhhhhhhRGGHGHhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

i love writing short stories. feels like doing a painting. it's rewarding also, feeling you're improving.

this was SO fun to write 🍽🥩

I did a couple of illustrations in this!

As a kid, some of my earliest memories of getting into reading fiction involved poring over old maps and player’s guides for fantasy games… excited to revisit that thrill with a horror twist in @neonrot.bsky.social‘s “Dreadfarer,” as illustrated by the prolific @valdevia.art ! 🗺️💀

@slipperyjack.bsky.social's TALES ACCURSED: A FOLK HORROR ANTHOLOGY is a resplendent tome of weird & horror tales by the old masters. His woodcut-style lino art evokes a simpler, scarier time. Best of all, this edition is "professionally defaced" with a gorgeous remarque of the Mari Lwyd!

One of the best things to happen in my art this year!

Big thanks to everyone who has already submitted for our upcoming fantasy anthology TALES OF STEEL AND SORCERY! We're roughly halfway through the submission period, which ends on December 31st 2025, so there's still plenty of time to work on a story if you're interested!

okay my grumpy ass has finally settled on a 2025 year in review/eligibility graphic. I have been a furious little literary badger this year desperately clawing at art from all angles. Any interest/support/awards consideration for this work (mine + Cold Signal contributors) is so appreciated
