I'm Evan, and I letter manga for a living! 350 vol so far. 2025 American Manga Awards Lettering winner. (Thank you!) I try to make art & music in my rare free time. I like cats, cars, cameras, & karaoke. linktr.ee/evanhayden
😥 Rest in peace to an absolute MASTER of manga art. It's been such a special pleasure to work with Chiba's art on Ashita no Joe... to be able to examine his linework, tones, angles, & visual "mood" up close & in great detail. His art is truly beautiful & has a real depth. A real inspiration.

When I bought studio monitors, an audio interface, and some cables from Sweetwater a couple years back, I was surprised to receive a phone call from a real human after each order, checking to see if I was satisfied...
I wish Michael Brooks were here to see this 💔
My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.
The internet would improve by 95% overnight if the possibility to monetize via ads or engagement was banned worldwide. You don't need to regulate content when the monetary incentive to create incendiary content is gone.
It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.
I'm trying not to push my own opinions on my young son *too* much yet, but I'm absolutely a hardliner about AI & screen time. I've told him that if he grows up relying on AI, he's not going to learn how to problem-solve. How to THINK. Wild that this idea feels almost out-of-step with today's world.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoAOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"
One of the most dangerous people in the world now owns a huge chunk of CBS News and CNN...not to mention all of the other Skydance media companies. Don't forget that Musk is also the largest single donor to Trump's Republican party. Oligarchs should not have this much control of our media.

A long time ago I convinced myself that I wasn't into cottage cheese, and then this past year, I've fallen in love with it. I guess the thing is that I'd never tried it with pineapple, or any other fruit before. Holy heck was I missing out! It's divine. Can't get enough of it. 🍍
Variations of "CRUNK", and related SFX that I made last night. I'm feeling very 💎Dirty South💎 right now.
Sometimes I think that if modern social media existed when I was in my teens/20s, I might have flourished on it (or had a breakdown.) I see so many artists on here posting stylish, pretty manga-style ladies, & that's like 80% of what I drew from my mid-teens to mid-20s. (Kinda miss it, actually!)
Listening to music while I work helps me to focus - to a point. The problem is, it also inspires me to want to MAKE music. That desire has been 🔥overwhelming🔥 this past couple years. I sated it a little when I finished "Psychic Battle" back in January, but I have 6 or so more albums' worth of ideas.
Art demands a blood price out of you- time, energy, focus, a piece of the inner self you hide, if needs a piece of your flesh to live. Ai generation tries to skip that
I think it’s very dumb and bad that the Suica Penguin is going away. The world needs more cute penguin mascots, not less! 🐧 (I may be biased, as penguins are my favorite non-cat animal) japantoday.com/category/pic...

Can you imagine how respectful and polite all the rap battles and diss tracks would be if everyone just got a decent amount of shut-eye every night?

It’s really sad that RJ Mitte passed away. Way too young to go. 😢
