+ All the people who are anti-Al or want to slow Al progress, I have one question:
If Al disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through an entire workday without ChatGPT, Claude, or any other
Al tool?
Imagine Al was suddenly banned.
Would you actually be willing to give it up?

I don't use much SFX in my comics since I rarely have images and SFX in my head when creating stuff (aphantasia-leaning). When I do, it tends to be more onomatopoeic! Read online 👉🏻 https://hwa.dirchansky.com 🪓🪵 #HWAcomic #webcomic #comic #queer [...]

There's a lot of choice w/r/t what to put in a comic panel. My default is to take a literal approach (draw what's happening as seen with eyes), but with this story, I wanted to incorporate a few more visual metaphors. Read online 👉🏻 https://hwa.dirchansky.com ⌛ #HWAcomic #webcomic

I started Here We Are ~2017/2018 (free to read https://hwa.dirchansky.com) 1st arc is 🌈loggersports jock romance❤️. I printed and bound the comic myself. A 60+ yo man bought the origin comic because of LOGGING...?! Sir do you know what Fujo means😱?! #HWAcomic #queer #romance #webcomic

photo of the front and back cover of Here We Are by Dirchansky. The front cover is b/w printed on cream stock and features a portrait of Jake wearing glasses looking towards the left at an outreached hand (Austin's).

The back cover is printed on sand stock and features a portrait of Austin, wearing a tuque, looking towards the right/front cover, reaching out towards Jake.

The autobio comic is about an old man who approaches our table at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival, already knowing about our latest comic anthology title, because someone "downstairs" told him about it. We are shocked.

He knows that there are "logging" comic inside and is looking inside for them...

digital collage of comic pages for my comic, Here We Are, which is described as: interconnected, character-focused slice-of-life stories, mostly "soft" and "feel good" vibes, available at hwa.dirchansky.com.

Arc 1 is about loggersports jocks trying to fall in love. It's free to read online and complete! A few examples of panels are placed next to commentary "check out those longing gazes" and "unsmart anxious gay (endearing?)."

Arc 2 is about a countergrain lone wolf-ish gal who tries to carve her own path. This arc is Ongoing. A few examples of panels are placed next to commentary "don't be nice to her or she'll judge!" and "glasses 4ever!"

a digital collage of cover and comic pages for my Like a Dragon Gaiden fancomic, My knight in shining armour, featuring Shishido/Tsuruno.

Other annotations on the image include: 'join my rare pair fandom brainrot...?', 'Tsuruno: I can fix him', and 'angst, trauma, violence, blood, abusive past...'

a digitally written and drawn smattering of concept art for my upcoming coming, Stuck in the Middle. There is commentary "everyone wear glasses!!" written near the top.

A sample cover is visible; underneath the cover is the comic description : Mesha, a millennial service designer, is newly promoted to a manger role. Withou formal training, will she sink or swim?!

Coming to sitm.dirchansky.com in 2026-2027.

Next to the cover are four character portraits for Mesha, Mason, Ladi, and Cardigan. Some character facts and relationship dynamic arrows are placed around them.

The top-right portion of the drawing includes some strange anthropomorphized figures of various office-related tasks.
