This is the key takeaway: Haley Stevens got everything she could have asked for. AIPAC spent the most it ever has. The party pulled out all the stops. Millions were even spent to spread the false idea that the most popular president in modern US history endorsed her. And it still wasn’t enough.

Abdul El-Sayed’s win represents a big blow to the politics of bygone days. Because if one campaign can show that *that* much money and *that* much old guard support doesn’t guarantee victory, it cracks open what can be imagined. It widens the aperture of what’s possible.

artists don’t become less valuble because their productivity dips or even disappears entirely unless you’re me. i’m different

i went to a renaissance faire for the first time since I was a teenager this past summer, and I didn't get to dress up since. well i didn't have any gear, but i saw an armor shop that had these shoulder and chest that remind me of football pads, and my concept for next year is Knight Jock

happy Yaoi Day to my entire body of work

Please sign and share this petition today. Management has been using a nasty union busting tactic and are giving senior editors an ultimatum and demanding they answer by August 3rd. Stand with the people who make the books you love happen NOW! actionnetwork.org/petitions/dh...

UNION UPDATE: tl;dr Dark Horse leadership is attempting to reduce union membership by claiming supervisory status for Senior Editors, who have never been allowed management roles. 🧵

been sort of off social media because ive had CLUTCH pages to lock into. still have a ways to go, but i’m happy with the progress. i hope people like the pitch and pay me to make the book :^)

did i tell you guys that CLUTCH is out in the world? i might have. i just post and then forget instantly i've been very busy with work but I've been hearing updates about CLUTCH getting onto various peoples' desks. i love my gay guy race car drivers

josh mckenzie@amonns.bsky.social · 3mo ago

these have been burning a hole in my pocket and i really want to show them off. these are my favorite pages I've yet done for CLUTCH

you never hear about people just chilling in cedar rapids anymore. sad

something about getting really into Interview with the Vampire/The Vampire Lestat is making me want to get way back into Kingdom Hearts again. much to consider here

about once every few years, i remember that breakfast cereal exists and i want to eat nothing but breakfast cereal for like a week. then i forget about cereal again

just finished The Mermaid Mask, and it was so damn cool. Loved every second. I was a huge Tangle Tower fan and I’d play a thousand more of these. incredibly well done @sfbtom.bsky.social @sfbdim.bsky.social @catherineunger.bsky.social and the whole team, and thanks for making it!

might i recommend, “eating carrots while standing in your kitchen, staring into the middle distance for an indeterminate time”

one thing to know about me is that Batou texts me regularly. we're in contact. you could say that we flirt.

the best kind of scene to board for an animated production is Some Guy Going Through It

if i were in Interview With the Vampire, i simply wouldn’t collapse under the the crushing weight of time and regret and just enjoy the Dark Gift

i guess i'm just yapping today or whatever but drawing is so hard lol. if you don't love your own bullshit, then it's gonna be a long, sad walk. There are no rewards or glory for you at the end of it all for hating your work and your journey. It won't make you a better artist.

I think they should make more vampires that look like Tony Soprano. there are so many beautiful ones and now i want some blunt-ass trucker-lookin vampires for normal reasons

no… NO!!!!

last night I dreamt that we were staying at @ginkgocrown.bsky.social's friend's house, a person i made up in my head, who was married to a guy named Gary Lucky Terry-Fierce. I assume Fierce was hyphenated but it could've been Gary Lucky Terry Frc. I've been thinking about my own dream all day

Javi knew my main interests include hot guys who are kind of bloody, so he set aside a primo shot for me to do clean up for. congrats on the movie launch!

A cartoonist named Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada was tried as a terrorist and sentenced to 30 years in prison for having anti-Trump comics in his car. Prosecutors connected him to a 2025 anti-ICE protest he didn't even attend because he was in the same book club as others who were.

sometimes i rewatch the Kitty Bobo pilot and i think, we really could've had it all

'death of the audience' is probably the most salient non-craft-focused advice i could give to an artist unsure of what to do with what they want to make you'll never seo your way to artistic fulfillment but you will burn out and crash trying

this is so for real but: cartoon friends. come with me to annecy next year

shoutout to A24, the movie studio who no longer wishes to indulge in part of the filmmaking process because they simply don't want to anymore

Mathew Buck@filmbrainbmb.bsky.social · last mo.

A24 announces that they want to put storyboard artists out of work. That's what the headline should be written as. Becuase we should be honest about what these AI "tools" are trying to do, and who it is trying to circumvent. variety.com/2026/film/ne...
