A request from my World of Darkness Storyteller (DM for those more familiar with D&D) to do a sketch of the boss of the current story arc. I'm still learning Clip Studio Paint, so the veterans are going to spot the default brushes and textures - but needless to say, I had a BLAST.

Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.

The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.

I’ve had a really rough last like…month, and Dressmaker has given me such a sense of joy and calm, and an appreciation for both seamstresses and indie developers. It’s allowed me to flex some creative muscles without tapping into the same energetic well that making comics draws from.

At the writer’s fest, an author said the genesis of her new book was something she found in research from several books ago, but wasn’t relevant to that first book. Then it marinated until she saw a pony. But sure, get ChatGPT to tell you that one single fact you need. That won’t have consequences.

‘Wildwood’ director Travis Knight on AI: “A pencil is a tool. A paintbrush is a tool. A 3D printer is a tool. A digital capture is a tool. AI is not a tool. AI can go fuck itself.”

When the cold creeps in and the wind is howling, the only cure is to curl up with a feline friend. Ghosts and specters enjoy a good lap cat, after all, they were only human once too. 🍂🐈‍⬛
