Soo fricken excited for this

This is insane to hear him admit to and advocate for on the public record. Ignore the headline, watch the video, because he is openly advocating for the Republican party to throw away the Constitution and ignore or "sidestep" checks and balances, "before it is too late" He is committing treason.

I hope y'all are feeling some sort of momentum in a positive direction. We gotta water hope whenever we find it, celebrate small victories. Because undoing all the damage of these tyrants is going to be slow, difficult work and even stopping them is looking like a task for Prometheus. We can do it.

I've really gotta thank all y'all out there who have had my back and recommended me to folks as an editor. The job market is dismal right now and these short gigs have been great. When the whole world has felt like it's crumbling some days, the indie comics and TTRPG communities have been there.

Don't ever believe anything this regime says.

Last bump of the night. Thank you all.

Well this looks fricken awesome

Workin' on some new Casket Land shit today

Boycott Krafton. One wretched decision after another and now this? We have to start sending clearer messages to companies like them. They deserve consequences.

Trying to shake myself out of my little social media hibernation so I can land some more work. I've been quietly screaming about the insanity of current events while writing more and editing a few handfuls of diverse projects for folks. Comics, TTRPGS, Prose So, hit me up if you need an editor!

What shows/movies are y'all watching this spooky harvest season? What do you got on? What are you getting into? Think I might do my first weapons rewatch and me and a crush are gonna binge-rewatch the various IT renditions before diving into Welcome to Derry at some point.

Oh the joy of finding a coffee shop that is open past 3-4pm in portland 😎

Played the first two chapters of this tonight and had a blast. Definitely worth checking out for your cape nerds and anyone who misses that good ol' telltale game vibe.

Absolute Wonder Woman Designs by Hayden Sherman -- Part 1 1979semifinalist.substack.com/p/absolute-w...

We want art with heart and sweat and blood put into it. We want to feel the love of every single story that inspired a piece in its DNA not through some rancid algorithms compressing them into a mock immitation of them. We are participating in a sacred call and response that stretches across time.

I don't know if you nerds like a little game called Magic The Gathering or not😉 but I know this team and I can tell you that with a story by the wonderful @michaelwconrad.bsky.social @caitlinyarsky.bsky.social and edits by the genius editor @brettaisrael.bsky.social you are gonna want to read this!

Being AMAB nonbinary has been a journey through rings of fire in which one has to navigate being "not man enough" and "too manly" simultaneously. Instead of getting to have any kind of nuanced conversation about gender we endure a circus of people either insulting us or apologizing. No discussion.

Internalized homophobia is probably one of the most quietly deadly things in our culture. The deadliest variation of course being the internalized homophobia that straight men metastasize into externalized violence which they either take out on queer people directly or their actual cis fem spouses.

I may not be with Dark Horse anymore but this book was a joy to Edit, as always @jordilafebre.bsky.social work is not just technically excellent and stunningly gorgeous but packed full of heart, humor, and mystery. Montana Kane's translation felt pitch-perfect. Please read this book!

Artists developing OGN pitches, go check out Konner’s editorial services! I sent the story outline for my latest pitch, and their feedback was thoughtful and motivating. After our conversation, I felt confident that I could make a stronger story by implementing their advice. Thank you, Konner! :)

at some point today we're going to be out among thousands of equally concerned citizens in the streets. At first you'll feel bolstered that American indifference is a myth, and a LOT of us care. Then you'll look more at the crowds and think "you know, this COULD be a national strike"

Swamp Thing preshow commission from NYCC!

Just had a really good interview and am trying not to be overly excited but in a year like this it's nice to just be considered ya know?!

Characters/story first and then the world they live in (most of the time)

What are y'all reading this week?

I just backed ZETA: A SPACE COsMIC OPERA on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/mrn... Couldn't find the creators on here but this looks fun.

We need to push for a federal ban on the use of tear gas on civilians and in civilian areas. It's unacceptable. Just think about this, they dropped so much tear gas near the ICE center that a school had to close because it had become toxified by the residue and was unsafe for the kids.

would you like a WEIRD SHIRT?

hi #PortfolioDay im Josh and I'm a board artist in LA. I worked at Nick and Titmouse, I've boarded on Lackadaisy and in games, and I did some BG design on Bee and Puppycat, and more. I am looking for my next board/revisions gig. 📩 [email protected] www.joshmckenzieart.com/storyboardin...

Hello I draw a lot of mechs and environments creatures. #PortfolioDay

Of Course, I am also quite excited for whatever Magic Spy Shenanigans my dear friend @therightram.bsky.social and the amazing @mikeperkinsart.bsky.social are cooking up in this awesome sounding book. Makes me want to go read Mind MGMT in preparation.

Athena for Athenaeum 🤍 A little something to celebrate the 4 year anniversary of @athenaeumcomicart.bsky.social

I'm actually pretty dang excited for this Vertigo relaunch and am rooting for the various teams involved. I don't mind saying outright that Rosemary has been one of my favorite cartoonists for years now and I enjoy Tamaki's work quite a bit too. So yeah, this is a vibe I adore!

Fellow creators who use Kickstarter, consider supporting the Kickstarter Workers Union in their strike. They're not asking you to boycott Kickstarter but there are other ways to show your support for meeting the workers demands. check out kickstarterunited.org

Kickstarter workers are on strike to protect their 32-hour, 4-day workweek and obtain a living wage for all workers. IGDN stands in solidarity with them. The union has not called for a boycott, but here is what you can do to help. kickstarterunited.org#what-you-can...

[3/5] Most storytelling we do in our daily lives is of this second kind, and I'd argue that most TTRPGs – certainly nearly all "trad" RPGs – are likewise oriented toward this kind of story. The rules are *weird shit generators*, and interpreting the outputs of the rules is what *produces the story*.

My hot take is that none of these are structure. These are all recipes that describe structure. Structure is the Salt, Fat, Acid Heat of writing. 3-Act/Hero's Journey etc are recipes. You can make great meals without using a recipe if you understand the principles of structure.

What you're getting from an LLM is a statistical approximation of what the answer would be to a statistical approximation of the question. This is why prompt engineering is fake. The prompt (and any input data) is just a suggestion - and helps fool you into thinking that your question was answered.

Eventually I will very likely write a book about or heavily related to these two shitheads (Ian Gallagher and Mickey Milkovich)

Slowly doing a Shameless (U.S.) rewatch and am becoming increasingly convinced of my theory that Frank Gallagher once met a demon/god of luck and somehow outwit them in a drinking game(not that he remembers) and so now he can't ever die but has circular/ironic bad luck so bad it hits his kids too.

Kept doodling and now it’s done! Let’s make it available at the Helioscope etsy shop. @helioscopepdx.bsky.social helioscopepdx.etsy.com/listing/4385...

#comicskycoverartists Day 12: Denys Cowan Hardware #1. I love this cover because it tells you so much. Curtis is so angry, so burning for revenge, that he goes into battle in unfinished armor with components duct taped to his chest plate.

he should be impeached for this alone fucking lies. forked tongue. evil.

AI freaks literally forcing their plagiarism slop machines down our throats. They know most people don't like their garbage machines so they have to force their slop onto us.

This is about what I say every time someone asks me about it. Creative people know this "tool" actually slows their process down and makes things worse. Consumers don't want it. The only people pushing it are the grifters selling it and the people who want acclaim/popularity without skill/effort.
