a good guide for naming your band a weird phrase or word combination is to slip it into an internet post in another context, and if anyone says it's like a good band name, then it's awful and you shouldn't use it

I finished STARHENGE Book 2 'A Kiss For Atticus' yesterday!! WOOHOO! The plan is to release three issues - #1, 40pgs. #2 & 3, 30pgs each. So the next collected edition, which will also include 'ORE', will be 160 pages of story. Here's a page from #2. Have a great weekend all!

knowing how the story has progressed for Satoshi Kon (RIP) and Aronofsky (pro-AI, rich) , this is a very sad thing to reflect on

Watched more newest 'Always Sunny', and I don't like that the last two appearances by The Lawyer have just been them doing the Rickety Cricket 'he keeps getting horribly injured' thing. The character was good as he'd effortlessly beat the despicable main characters, which was cathartic!!!

I think that's a Nolan Bane, possibly with Sprang inks

going out drinking this afternoon so I fully expect to make some foolish ebay purchases when I get back in. Requiem: Vampire Knight omnibus? It's a possibility

After my sleeping https://www.wikiart.org/en/max-ernst/after-my-sleeping-1958

Huge outcomes from Kier’s big trip to China.

watching some 'Foundation' and I can't remember what happened in it previously and if I'm thinking about The Expanse by mistake, and why I should care about anything in it, so I'm just waiting patiently for any scenes of Jared Harris or Lee Pace as I like them

Catherine O'Hara is as much of a "good in absolutely everything, no matter how good the thing itself was" actor as Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Being pointlessly annoyed that in the comic 'Defoe' they still call zombies 'zombies' throughout, in amongst calling them 'stenches' and 'reeks'. Just use the latter two terms, leave 'zombies' out of it, ruins the "it's the 17th century" thing a bit. As I say, pointlessly annoyed

Shigeru Mizuki's cameo in Osamu Tezuka's I.L., pointing to an entirely different page at a drawing of the monster from the 1966 Hammer Productions film The Reptile.

Just watched a terrific film from last year on a streamer. I think I’d like to have it for my library. Cos it was smashing. Looked it up. It’s not available to buy. No way of supporting its maker at all. Fucking shambles.

I was thinking of putting this Blake on my website , but got worried the willy would get me downgraded or something. If you want a drawing I post, you can always message me

Tetsuo Hara drew these to commemorate his having filed his tax return using his smartphone. Notice how he drew both of these on the same day despite no longer really being able to see particularly well. Stuff like this makes me even more irate that the upcoming TV series will be in crap looking 3DCG

the piracy archive-liars have again neglected to include the ads in a comic so I won't be sharing a cool pic from 2001: A Space Odyssey #1 of The Human Torch screaming about how he mails comics flat

No CCA or 13th Note in Glasgow, am I supposed to just find new places to go when I visit now?!? Thanks for NOTHING, bad managers

Messy space marine guy. It’s so freeing just scribbling along not thinking about color

thinking about the Fable game (3, maybe?) where you can pretty much play on easy mode by becoming a landlord and jacking all the rents up to max. It makes your character 'evil' but that feature doesn't meaningfully affect the game in any way. Still feels bad though

Anus tiger (tiger saying Anus)

that new Ghost in the Shell, very strange to see a trailer for a modern anime that doesn't just slide off of my eyes, but what I'm really wanting to see is a cool angled shot of someone changing gears in a non-3D model car. I recognise not every cartoon can cater to me but maybe this one will

7 years since I made this incredible work

Last night's unhelpful dream featured a This Mortal Coil gig, but with Fred Schneider on vocals. Then I couldn't get my t-shirt on properly or find my bag and also I was sure I'd miss the bus. Dreams! They're zany and boring

Oh go on then, here's a McCoy/Aldred/Silver nemesis pic I did back in the day #mastermind #doctorwho

got nowhere near as much Art Stuff done as I hoped today, going to blame the irrestible lure of the 'doomscroll' and not myself. It is the modern world that is at fault. Hurm. Inked a decent picture of a pub toilet tonight though, so I'll take that as a victory I suppose.

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year! Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him. He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary. His health is declining. Public outrage might save his life. Say his name:

don't think I'll be watching this video, facebook. Sorry.

watched two films from 2025 this week where people are looking at bizarre murmurations of birds, perhaps that was 2025's version of the Deep Impact/Armageddon or Dante's Peak/Volcano thing

Found this silly record at goodwill. I for one would be honored to die in the coming "homosexual mass murders."

be interested to see if/how they try and make the Highlander 'lore' not ridiculous. I hope they go with the "they're from Zeist" version to cash in on Dune. I hope they don't have someone pointing out how weird the rules are. I hope Jared Leto doesn't somehow show up in it.

word is it's 'goblin week', so here's the Vinegar Goblins I drew for top RPG 'Wraithlands'. The file says I drew these in 2022 but that can't possibly be correct, time can't be moving that way

I've run out of Slaine apparently but tonight I'll start my reread of the Mills/Gallagher/Deville 'Defoe' comics. It feels like it flits between ideas too quickly from what I remember so never really settles into a 'coherent universe' but that's fine, not reading a Mills for that sort of thing

Thinking about that Aronofsky, I liked Pi from what I remember (last time I tried to watch it I accidentally drank a boiled spider, the horror of which cut my viewing short, so I can't reassess it), I liked The Wrestler at the cinema, I liked the ridiculousness of Noah

Seeing and hearing the word 'cack' more often than usual, need to surround myself with more things not by english people aged 40-50

Aronofsky one of those guys who just has a vibe comin' off him, not surprised by this at all

Social media rules bc an annoying person will see the moment that fills us with solidarity and pride and attempt to make them little social media slap fights for no good reason

the gigantic tv-screen-billboard on Leith Walk that I have issues with (we shouldn't have to see ads as big as buildings, especially not screens) was advertising the Melania film. Just hatefulness blasting all the way down the street.

went to the practice rooms as I continue my foolish mission to try and remember how to play the drums. While waiting outside I noticed how audible the sound from inside the rooms is, so now I'm considering not going back as I don't want anyone to hear my clattering

The UK government doing anything to do with 'tech' is that Armando Iannucci sketch where the computer guy at an insurance firm's given millions to update their website and just makes flash animations of the staff jumping or rotating

Suzanne-Raphaële Lagneau

Galvatron has been in a UK prison since 1987.

time for a rewatch of a film I remember as being very silly but quite enjoyable, a film that let everyone down by not being like the poster. In retrospect I'm glad it isn't, the film the poster suggest's probably a terrible 'Asylum'-level thing

A TTRPG character commission for @blarkblarkblark.bsky.social! Love to designs some one-off characters from time to time here and there 🙏☺️

Graham Linehan starts hanging around with Rob Schneider and his aura of divorce is so strong that next thing you know Rob Schneider's wife's filing the papers

Only good thing about this is that's too bleak to fully take in, though I assume my brain'll have a good time mulling it all over come bedtime

had a shit dream that there was a new Suicide Squad film, featuring new members such as a claustrophobic chimpanzee and a guy who was basically a 'black ops' Red Bee but had a bag of wasps and one crow

Finished 'the Omega Factor'. Enjoyably dull and televisony, but needed more shots of 70s Edinburgh. I liked when they all went clubbing, and I think it was supposed to be weird that this old guy was there but I'm not sure as everyone in the club looks 40+ anyway

Having a little lull so not very confident about these posts buuuuuut I think my art is good and maybe someone would like to buy it/support its continuation. There’s hopefully something good about that. www.chloecumming.com
