if my decent neighborhood sushi place you can order online directly from without going through seamless or wherever shuts down i will kill myself
just know as i'm doodling cutesy shit i'm listening to True Horror Stories (tm)
i got a new set of colored pencils this weekend (after not touching them for literal years) just playing
i hate capitalist asian ams like who gives a fuck if you're the ceo of mercedes benz which is an immigrant status symbol. get a real job
if you want to learn to make YOUR art - apply! Wendy is a beast and a wonderful, practical teacher who's kept her feet on the ground (rare, in publishing). I'm not biased at all
do you want me to be your mentor (threatening, pai mei from kill bill voice) then look below & apply, app window open open through 9/30! if doing middle grade comics: apply with sample pages, portfolio & plot outline for me to consider

cannot unhear andrew cuomo every time i encounter godrick the grafted now
grem doesn't yell at me for dinner. instead she makes beeping or honking noises
I made a little template for use by cool small businesses! Enjoy!
say what you like about haruki murakami's fiction but NOVELIST AS A VOCATION is one of my foundational craft texts. and yes it's very buddhism coded
no way this painting —Der Krieg by Hans Thoma, 1907— wasnt on the moodboard when they designed Messmer
Some friends are teaching their baby ASL as an early bridge to speech and they made the mistake of teaching her “want” as a concept. Now she wanders around the house signing “want” all the time as an expression of unfocused desire. They fucked up and made the baby invent the opposite of Buddhism.
never forget i fucking cry laugh when i think about how stupid this build is
genuinely hate posting here now. can't say a fuckin thing without either unnecessary pedantry/ worst faith possible reading. "trust your gut" as a kind statement becomes about antivaxxers & conspiracy theorists. you will never be free if you insist on unnecessary suffering for yourself & others
this is from last year. once again to quote robert evans, "mark zuckerberg should be tried in the hague and hung by the neck till dead" www.thejournal.ie/meta-workers...
my editor just informed me tidesong has gone into *another* reprint (i didn't even realize it had gone through a first!!) so despite a bad brain day where i was crashing out about hashtag my career:
don callis family storyline is so fucking gay lmao "i take sTRAPPING, HARDY, MUSCULAR YOUNG MEN... and i BREED CHAMPIONS" HELLO????????
We just started a little local show in Cheshire called ConnectiComix and it was all free to table all local CT comics folk, most of us just having an excuse to get together and sell wares. There's some good comics folk here. And we're doing it again next year for CT cartoonists who'd like to show!
guys i grew up in ct & fucking hated it. if you're tri state area there are a million better shows you can drive to including but not limited to MICE in Boston & all of the NYC shows. if you must go to ct go to the peabody museum or the aquarium in mystic nobody goes for comics lmfao
Imagine the sound of me audibly blinking. aslkdjfh I hope more doujin, small press, and zine events get super active and successful and then the big cons have to look at each other, scratch their heads a little bit, and stop fleecing broke artists/only allowing space for ones that can take the hit.
DO NOT APPLY TO OR ATTEND THIS SHOW. I don't care if it's in your backyard. You can bet that every convention runner is watching this and the bad ones are salivating at this idea of $150 application fees, plus jacked up booth rates. If it works for this show, they WILL try it at theirs.
