After watching this, I've decided it's all I'm going to do in retirement.

I want to go on a pub crawl with this guy. I hate pub crawls and barely drink, but he looks like he'd be a blast to hang with.

Progress on my gallery app for cataloging your art and source files. It auto-generates previews of everything (including Procreate, PSD, Affinity, and CLIP), has search, tagging, organization into projects, and doesn't touch or need to duplicate your source files. Runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Max Novem@maxnovem.art · 5mo ago

Getting really close to a test release of my app. It creates a catalog of your source files (even across multiple folders & cloud drives) so that you can see them all in one place, organize them, quickly open them in your art app, export preview images, and more.

Get ready with me comic

4 panel comic titled “get ready with me”
Panel 1 - a guy is bringing a bowl of food to his cat - the caption says “this is my cute little morning routine”
Panel 2 - he watches as his cat eats the food, behind them is an ominous black portal bordered with skulls and with tentacles coming out of it
Panel 3 - he sits in a recliner with a cup of coffee and his cat at his feet. He says “ahh so nice” - the portal is still lurking behind them
Panel 4 - he’s now reading a book. The cat is sleeping in his lap. The portal still looms. He says “the trick is to ignore the void of infinite horrors “

The cybermermaids return for #mermay 2026 - sneaking in just before the finish line again #mermaid #cyborg

Digital illustration of a cybernetic mermaid mother and daughter swimming together in the ocean. They both have long, pale, green-blonde hair and pale human-like upper faces with small metal horns. The rest of their bodies from the jaw-down consist of a skeletal arrangement of greenish-grey metal plates. The mother has long sharp teeth and flexible segmented arms with hands tipped in sharp claws. Her abdomen appears to be exposed sickly green organs and her fins are sharp blades. The daughter is similar in appearance but much smaller with teeth like a piranha. The daughter is playfully observing an ocean sunfish (mola mola) that is much smaller than her, while the mother watches.

Cat and Girl vs. the Audience

'There is a difference between a phone and a radio' says Girl. 'There is a difference between a video cassette recorder and a video cassette player!' says Cat. 'One allows you to talk WITH people,' says Girl. 'All the tru artist needs' says Cat, holding a VHS tape. 'One allows you to talk AT people,' continues Girl. 'Is the tool that lets YOU record - CONTROL' Cat continues. They go back and forth. 'Or be talked at.' 'And sometimes a little piece of tape.' 'But my every mode of communication does both! And I can't tell who is talking at me and who is talking with me - and when I respond - I'm not sure which one I'M doing!' 'What are we watching?' 'And sometimes' 'The rending of the wall between public and private - friend and audience - friend and customer - everyone creating MLMs - not works - not worlds.' 'I can't remember what the difference is.' 'You haven't looked until you've seen -' 'What are we watching?' 'Us,' Cat replies.

I will be signing at The ARC festival this Sunday from 1-2pm at the @goshcomics.bsky.social table. @arcfestivallondon.bsky.social is an exciting, new, free comics festival in London on the 11th and 12th of July. Come along! www.arc-london.uk

We see a stick figure running through a ravaged desert pursued by a mechanical claw. The text begins "2050ad: Society has collapsed and the book festivals have gone rogue. Their terrifying motorized venues patrol the wastelands, hunting for audience members" We can now see that the claw is on the front of an enormous, mad-max-style battle-rig, adorned with spikes, skulls and armour. The text continues "Programmer-Warlords brutally preside over a relentless series of interviews, discussions and poetry readings.” In the trailer of the truck, a poetry reading is taking place, in a tower above it, the huge, muscular, horned programmer raises his fists and yells orders to his minions. The monstrous vehicle thunders on leaving one lone stick figure behind The text concludes "Occasionally, dazed survivors are found wandering with a signed hardback book in a cotton tote bag."
