thinking about this again... you just have to suck for a while... i'm sorry... try to focus on the fact that it's fun to make things even if the result kind of sucks...

Me, thinking I'm in a zone: ok, this is fine I can deal with this Me, realizing I'm in a realm: fuck

I get a lot of AI slop book marketing emails, but this is the first time I have ever been . . . mistaken for Jane Austen.

Cool stuff I got this weekend at the Chboro Zinefest! This is a mix of stuff I bought and traded my Flare art zines for.

i cant stop drawing... drawing is so hard....

Artists! Show your range!

Hey I heard you like mummy stories. ...you don't? Oh. 1 of 2 🧵 #comics illuminatedcomics.github.io/misc/#tomb2

look at least I’m self-aware

a baby

Can’t wait to unload all these zines on people at the Chboro Zinefest tomorrow. If you go you might get one that comes with a charm! The *final* version of the zine can be read digitally. I had reader requests to talk more about “the bush orb child” so I added some info. heyzine.com/flip-book/ba...

D&D shitposting: My paladin Talia is a little too excited about the Seafather (a very niche god only worshipped by superstitious sailors) and hastily made a pamphlet to help spread the word. One person took it to be polite.

She is very lonely

MCAS is such a stupid condition lmaooo “I’m gonna try this recipe I saw online!” “…Aw hell, my heart rate is through the roof, my face itches, I’m flushed, and now I have an sense of impending doom so severe I need to lay on the floor!” Literally have “my mast cells are drama queens” disease 🙄

I just wrote a long piece on how I did The Animorphs covers. Please check it out, and subscribe to my Substack, “My Adventures as an Illustrator.” myadventuresasanillustrator.substack.com/p/how-i-did-...

saw a post i liked on tumblr today.....didnt see that they'd posted it on their account here but i wish they would its a sentiment that resonated w me more than making "good" art it's just important to make art....thanks man

Normal texts to send your brother. (It was Colin Stetson and he went on to do the soundtrack for Hereditary, so my brother was absolutely right.)

I recently learned about websites that let you share zines in a cute online format with pages you turn. If you haven’t seen my self-indulgent art zine about Flare, here it is: heyzine.com/flip-book/78...

it’s me

Still working too hard on a D&D minicomic, but I was pleasantly surprised at my little establishing shot of a residential area in a city. I've been having entirely too much fun with monochrome lately. Makes me want to do linocut printing again.

I used to live in Birmingham, AL, and one of my favorite lesser-known Bible Belt archetypes was, “Southern Grandma whose grandchild just came out as non-binary and they are so embarrassingly, aggressively supportive it’s terrifying (positive).” This was a frequent occurrence. There wasn’t just one.

All I want for my birthday today is for you to download and read my 🎉FREE🎉 zines I made entirely for my own entertainment. Not quite as cool as getting one in person, but I figured I’d try this digital distribution method out. ko-fi.com/thekubliest/...

In these stunning chromolithographs from 1851, Jean Baptiste Vérany realizes his ambition — to accurately render “the suppleness of the flesh, the grace of the contours, the transparency and the coloring” of cephalopods: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/verany-cephalopods

I made a 24 quarter page sized zine to barter with at a zine fest next month. Hopefully people are down for an artbook. 😅 I can’t believe it needed this many pages. 😵 I made more art than I thought!

Genuinely one of my favorite 3 panels of all time

The simple joys of a sunlit couch.

How does anyone pick a font for anything. I understand academically that there’s design principals, but in practice my eyes just glaze over and I feel like the most uncreative person in the world with no style whatsoever

Here goes nothing. See you in July I guess? artfight.net/~Thekubliest

webcomics are probably our only hope as a people, as a society

Maybe I’ll do Artfight this year and draw someone else’s character for a change. …maybe.

Movements to shut down or ban data centers are amassing power and notching victories. Wikipedia has banned AI-generated content in articles. Publishers and entertainment studios are being pushed to reject AI-produced content outright. In other words: It's open season for refusing AI.

I suddenly just remembered the university only music streaming service Ruckus that shut down in 2009. Gone but not forgotten. o7 utdailybeacon.com/103826/news/...

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

I’ve tried converting some of my art into monochrome for that vintage zine/poster look. But I’ll never be as good as the old masters. 💔

No one is more tired than a dog.

Are you feeling down? Crushed under the weight of reality? Do I have a solution for you. Draw your D&D character(s) sad. Incredibly sad. Pathetically sad. Maybe a little angry but sad is the key here. Works every time.

EVERYBODY SHUT THE FUCK UP

Absolutely insane pull at a thrift store. Found some very nice Mother 3 fanart in the middle of Obama/Biden and Biden/Harris campaign posters 😭😭

I’ve lost days of my life trying to make a multi-page mini comic for the first time. Oh my god?? Comics are so hard?? I really thought I understood how hard it was but no, it’s so much worse than I ever imagined. 🤪 How do people do this for a living and not collapse/lose their mind??

Golden Boy is such a gem not only for its animation, designs, and extremely fun english dub, but for showing how being encouraging and helpful and enthusiastic can rlly help the people around you... even if you're a huge pervert lol

IM RIGHT - dashare.zone ADMIN

I think my life is just apologizing for ghosting people when I was overwhelmed over and over until I die

I am no better than a magpie and I love collecting random things at thrift stores that remind me of my D&D characters. I just kinda pile them around my desk. Really hit the jackpot with this “FATHERS ARE SPECIAL” plaque as my ex-sailor orc paladin worships a god called the Seafather.

So Nintendo isn't suing me for the Pokopia Font Generator but they've legally compelled me to make a generator for something called the Super Mario Bros. Super Show!??

I’ve been working on plans for DMing a new campaign so I haven’t drawn much… But I did make this character reference sheet for my disgustingly cheerful orc paladin Talia Ironwharf. She’s just so happy to be here and spread the Seafather’s message after He saved her from a shipwreck! 💕🐚🌊🪸

I got some fairy lights to decorate a part of my office, but they were too white and bright. I painstakingly painted every LED to change the color. They’re still not quite right so I might go in with a second coat lol
