My wife sent me to Lee Valley (for small brass screws) so really this is HER responsibility. I’m not gonna NOT buy German safety goggles

It was in 1986 using MacDraw on our family’s first Macintosh. I don’t still have it, or the software it was made with, or any sort of useful way to transfer it from what we used as disks in the late 1900s. It was probably rectangle-themed

I’ve had to think about sticker designs for work, so I figured I’d knock out an #artfight quickie for my buddy @tonakuma.bsky.social under the deadline! #sharemyattack2026
Just watched the new Masters of the Universe and was very surprised to really like it! That movie knew what it was doin
For my third (and possibly last? We’ll see) #artfight I did what I usually do: searched “gargoyle” and picked @ludicrouslimes.bsky.social ‘s Gwen! #sharemyattack2026
Did a revenge #artfight! Second of this year! I got cold attacked and this can not stand! From hell’s heart I drag nodes at thee #sharemyattack2026
Hoo, finally finished my first artfight this year at @monsterfucker.bsky.social who puts a lot of hair and scars and freckles on OCs because THEY sensibly do not work in vector #sharemyattack2026 gotta get faster at these i swear
Everyone is always hurt by the idea that they’re not very good graphic designers. I’m not a very good phlebotomist and it doesn’t bother me at all
NEW COMIC: Everything’s Going To Be Awful hawkstonedraws.com/comic/everyt... This page ends the fifth issue, and is the halfway point of the comic. It is also the end of the first graphic novel collection, which I'm fairly sure I will be doing as a Kickstarter. But first: an Artfight month
Startin Canada Day off right with the dog—who has dog covid—chewing through the cable that supplies Internet to the house. Not because he’s sick, just because he’s an asshole
We’re exhausted from the weekend but fortunately, thanks to Bark N’ Fly, so is the hellbeast

Here at @kelownacomicon.bsky.social hangin comics off the side of @artworkandcutethings.com like a weird husband troll. Grog do the heavy setup lifting! Grog put his work out there
Today Vancouver police captured a chupacabra with a falsified passport and gang affiliations, attached is the “photographic” “proof”
windward antifascist@windward-afa.bsky.social · last mo.So...VPD posted an AI slop photo of a drug bust, deleted the post, and reposted a 'corrected' version of the photo. Thankfully the Tums turned into coins and the bills look more like legal tender. Cops using AI to generate politically-motivated content seems like a pretty big deal.
Since my protagonist is such a wild child*, “judgmental” is a trait shared by all of the villains to various degrees of a lot to somewhat less of a lot. Probably Azrael is the worst with her belief that Veronica is an abomination (true) and gargoyles are subhuman (false) *woman in her mid thirties
LoS Draws 🔞@monsterfucker.bsky.social · 2mo agoGood morning, my monsterfuckers! Who is your most judgmental character? I don't talk about him much, probably because he is my least favorite character of my roster, but Davin. He's an in-universe version of a disaffected young man who radicalizes when he doesnt get his way
NEW COMIC: That's probably the greatest risk one faces as a time traveller: having movies spoilt for you. #webcomic hawkstonedraws.com/comic/avenge...
I would take it further: if your file is destined for print, start in CMYK and stay there. CMYK files can look just fine on the screen (unless you’re in your Purple Synthwave Neon period) but your tears will not make your RGB files print well. Source: me, your printshop digital prepress gargoyle
KikiDoodle & Purrmaids @ SDCC 4819@kikidoodle.bsky.social · 2mo agoI keep seeing posts by folk confused why their prints aren't screen accurate, and the common theme is that they seem to have ZERO idea that their computer screen is RGB (colors mixed using light) and that all printers are CMYK (colors mixed using ink). So, have some VERY generalized printing tips:
Well that’s nice. Carrd it is then
Úna-Minh's ✨ Open to Work ✨@unaminh.bsky.social · 2mo agoIMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.
“Please make a golfing magazine photo backdrop,” my boss told me. Then I was left unsupervised
Just had a client send me an AI mockup to answer the question “how big do you want the labels to be on your jars?” Lady, I’m gonna blow your mind with the discovery of the existence of a TAPE MEASURE
Little blighter specifically went out of his way to tear a hole in my favourite weekend lounge pants and is therefore consigned to the sin bin
I use DuckDuckGo as my daily driver for both my browser and search, and of course Safari is around for when it gets a bit squirrely—still using Duck to search. I don’t use Google for much, though I do have a gmail address as my signing-up-for-things email cumdumpster (the official technical term)
TechCrunch@techcrunch.com · 3mo agoGoogle is transforming Search from a list of links into an AI-powered experience filled with conversational answers, autonomous agents, and interactive interfaces — a shift that could further reduce traffic to publishers across the web.
Canadians, I’ve got three invites to @gandersocial.ca , hmu if you want one
NEW COMIC: I personally loved Jodie Whittaker's Doctor Who--the writing, less so--so I figured what the hell, lean into it, why not. #webcomic https://hawkstonedraws.com/comic/too-thirteenth-doctor/
