This saturday!

Freshly restocked my game EAT THE LICH, a fantasy rpg about seizing the means of magical production mightypeculiarpress.bigcartel.com/product/eat-...

Tiny details for a variant cover in progress

Sam watching helplessly as Frodo starts to identify with Gollum, a weird, transparently insane bald freak in a diaper who eats live birds and mutters about murdering Sam and Frodo all the time, was a mood without a strong modern parallel until people started falling for AI.

Even adventurers get existential crises. From my comic Wizard Weekend

I was already deeply in love with comics and TMNT, but buying this when I was in middle school was life changing. Somehow the lcs was selling it for very cheap just because the dust jacket was damaged (the book itself is in great condition to this day). One of my most prized possessions

Just put up a new sneak peek/process post on patreon of work for Zethia Space Witch issue 3. Its been too long since I've been able to work on this issue, but we're all in now. The next few months will have plenty of similar posts (for only $3/month)

this headline hums with ancient autumnal dread

Pyromancers against tyranny 🔥🔥🔥

artists, what's your favorite part to draw? quote this post! (one of) mine: hands

Frankly I don’t think there’s enough global strategy currently in place for the possibility of ‘what if the Mongols rise again?’

Last weekend at Lone Star Zine Fest, a teenager saw my book Pair of Knaves and said "oh I call me dad a knave all the time!" and I thought that was pretty great. Anyway, I'm making some new prints ⚔️

Looks like it's #portfolioday so here are a few comic pages and one commission piece. I am currently open for commissions btw 👀

Check out my little haul from Lone Star Zine Fest this year. I'm beyond exhausted, and as per default I failed to take photos during. I had a great time tabling though, so thanks to everyone who made it a wild success!

Happy Monday, friends! I wrote a big article talking about Lone Star Zine Fest, how cool it was, all the awesome people we met, and all the cool stuff we got. Please click here & read it! dungeonsandpossums.com/2025/10/lone... PS if youre @jvwest.bsky.social, youre allowed to skip to the end.

I now have a stamp of the wizard from Wizard Weekend, and I feel such an urge to be a menace with it

Another favorite panel from Pair of Knaves

You ever get stuck hyperfocusing a cover design concept for a comic you have planned but won't actually be making until next year, then three hours later you have a 75% done mockup of that cover? I definitely didn't just do that, I don't know what you're talking about.

If you're in the greater Austin area, but especially in Pflugerville, Round Rock, or any other part of the northside, come see me tomorrow at Library Con!

Like so many others, my publisher and I got screwed over by Diamond Distribution. The first issue of my series Zethia Space Witch, as well as the first issue of comix anthology magazine I edit Lion Cosmique, were both supposed to hit LCS stands through Diamond today. (1/2)

If you see this, post a robot

I don't have #1 (I think) but it was easy to jump right into Zethia Space Witch #2. Clever and cute and concludes the story nicely. Really like the mixed media art that's used in a few select panels

I will not be taking arguments to the contrary at this time.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

New album dropping soon

Its just about time! @smallpressexpo.bsky.social is here, come see me at table C3!

QRP with something watery 🌊

The weather is finally not atrocious, so I can read and have breakfast on the balcony again.

My boy!

Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction 🎶 is still the song on the campaign 29 hours and $549 to go!

A favorite panel of mine from my comic Pair of Knaves

Just in time for @smallpressexpo.bsky.social next weekend, my new book Wizard Weekend is here!

I just finished reading Knock issue 5, and though there were A LOT of stand out articles in this one, I really hope @riseupcomus.bsky.social gets to include more of the Naval Gazing section in future issues. That sort of self-analysis/critique of a scene feel so important

Hairbrained idea that I haven't fully thought through: running the Delta Green adventure Impossible Landscapes, but using Weird Heroes of Public Access instead.

Heeey, check out some of the work from the debut issue of comix magazine I edit!

RPG development journal sketches

it doesn't get mentioned all that much in books on drawing or comics, but i don't know any technique that's more useful than walking away for an hour

Not enough fantasy these days embrace the flashiness and otherworldliness of Yoshitaka Amano's armor/clothing. I love a grounded fantasy world, but it doesn't all have to look like GoT or LotR! Make it fantastical!

I've been comically bad about advertising my patreon on here. We got two new posts up there! A pdf of my latest mini comic Wizard Weekend for the comics tier, and the first in a series of TTRPG development logs on the rpg tier (or get both in the higher tiers!) www.patreon.com/c/AntonWBlake

Repeater screentone stamps aquired. I'm gonna be an art menace with these things

every single time

Dumb idea that is currently plaguing me: one of those replica sword shops in shopping malls having a cursed sword that end up possessing the "m'lady" guy that buys it, only for the sword to get upset because the guy they're bound to now definitely did NOT study the blade.

I got myself a new dot matrix notepad to start writing out and doodling the new ttrpg I'm planning. This thing is going to be a quintessential part of this, and I'll start sharing the pages of this on my patreon soon.

Rent seeking vampire capitalists want everyone to buy subscriptions to everything and become debt slaves and then ❓️❓️❓️❓️ something something tech bunker apocalypse eh who cares buy our shit you filthy peasant

I need to know what the origin of using "crunchy" to describe ttrpgs with lots and lots of rules. It does feel accurate for some reason, but how'd the term get coined? I need to find this answer.
