A lot of the earliest issues of Nugget have textile / tactile - looking images for covers, with a small "badge" showing a woman.

You need to try Ship Shaper demo, man. Super fun to mess around and it lets you export the 3D model and even use it for printing, no copyright. Gotta love indie devs. . . . (on the left, my design, on the right, what the demo lets you make)
I love this thread from Seth- the deep capitalistic shift towards “content” does give the upcoming generations some rather hollow examples of what being an artist entails- but the attention economy is ruthless
"Art" these days means very different things to people. For many, it's something they can contribute to the TTRPG / video game / animation / tv industries - NOT something to express their humanity and POV. They don't want to talk about the human condition, they want to get paid to paint dragons.
Peter Bogdanovich on the brief period of time he was attached to direct Duck You Sucker! & Sergio Leone's interesting way of developing a project:
was gonna show a neat video of this dude firing a rocket barrage but bsky really doesn't like me posting videos lately so folks'll just hafta imagine

This is exciting! I got nominated as best pencilier at Ringo awards this year. I'm blown away, totally shocked and stoked at the same time. To be listed next to some of my favourite artists is such an honour.

Tryna give FF's "generic" assets a common design language suggesting even the combat vehicles aren't made for proper warfare (soft edges, exposed fragile-looking greebles). Figure they're all from the same manufacturer, either some alt-history spin on an existing defense company or just made up.
Met the most handsome alligator lizard today (pictured here moments before he released a mighty dump into my hand, as I deserved for disturbing him)
simon stuff (@simonroy.bsky.social) you're gonna get to see 1 of these posthuman freaks die, several even, but at what cost
I’ve got this original galaxy magazine issue that features “the dragon masters” as well as a few other editions of the book- still my fave Vance book, and maybe generally favorite book?
Name physical media you purchased more than once.
This one is architecturally notable for, among other things, a set of doors not made for this building (or even *a* building) at all.
Doors of the Lost SS Normandie are at a Brooklyn Church - Untapped New York
Residing unsuspectingly at the Our Lady of Lebanon Maronite Church are doors that were once part of the French ship the SS Normandie.

"Griz Grobus and the tale of Azkon's Heart" by @simonroy.bsky.social Jess Pollard & Sergey Nazarov was an interesting change of tune after "Habitat" & "A star called the Sun". Two intertwined stories, of which only one is set in the reality of the "Habitat"-universe. I liked it, would recommended.
From page one "A star called The Sun" by @simonroy.bsky.social with Sergei Nazarov and Drew Shields just bursts with creativity and enthusiasm for the universe it shows us glimpses into. I already read "Habitat" multiple times ... And will now have to re-read it again I guess. Absolutly recommended!
Estás hasta arriba de calmantes por un flechazo. Tu cabeza flota, mientras te llevan a rastras por un túnel de mantenimiento huyendo de unos caníbales. Y de repente... Te encuentras con una monja robot. Bienvenidos a HABITAT, de @simonroy.bsky.social. www.grafitoeditorial.com/comic/habitat/ #cómic
