I’m sorry to keep doin the “back our kickstarter” dance in Times Such As These™️, but I’m truly so proud of the work Rusty & Jodie & Atla & the folks at Iron Circus & I put into this comic, it’s been an act of joyful creation in a sea of despair. Please support our work if you can, and thank you 🙏

It feels so hollow to be promoting a new comic alongside all these horrors happening in real time. I know we’re all out here doing the best we can—some of it will help improve things, and some of it won’t move the needle at all. Still, thank you to everyone who has ever supported small creators.

Almost at the end of the line for the latest Trekker story!

Year of the Fire Horse ! Comic for my mom and the new year !!

From the late Jesse Hamm. My personal mantra for the past decade.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

One week until the Kickstarter for this snappy little number goes live. Prelaunch sign-up page is live right now, and getting off to a strong start on Day One would be sweller than just about anything. Yep. "Sweller". Please do check in for lift-off notification at TrekkerKickstarter.com

another day volunteering at the artificial mouth research lab. everyone keeps asking me

Rav BOO!dram 🎃👻@rvbdrm.com · 10mo ago

This is an artificial mouth created by Japanese researchers. It uses artificial vocal cords, a trachea system, and a flexible silicone mouth that moves and shapes sound in real time. It sounds so human-like!

"concept artists can experiment with AI to make their lives easi-" wrong I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI get good

Just remembered this @stevelieberart.bsky.social I drew back when he first made the mistake of teaching me to draw digitally

Fun freelance tip- if you go your whole year without work just schedule a surgery and then a whole year’s worth of work will flood in the month before!! It’s that easy!!!!

Books with Pictures (@bkswpicspdx.bsky.social) in Portland, Oregon is a GREAT comic shop, and its owner in @omgkatiep.bsky.social is one of the best. The shop is going through a hard time right now, and if you want to help BwP out, they opened a GoFundMe to help do just that.
