This needs quite a bit of signatures and you can just be a comic reader to sign it. You ever read Hellboy and want to help the next generation of creators make their Hellboy, this is the kinda stuff we got to do to ensure that. Sick of seeing corp mindsets destroy creative life’s into nothingness

6. Snuffing the Fiend Candle by @hulkhoquinn.bsky.social A system-neutral module that is placed atop another module or prewritten adventure location- like pouring melted wax onto a lover's back lol Seriously easy to use, full of sick art, vibrant colors, useful tables, & optional IRL fire hazard!

A friend gifted me a pad of sugar cane watercolor paper, and I tried it out today. It works just fine and tastes better than Strathmore.

Sipping my coffee ☕️ and thinking about these marvellous Minoan cups! They look so modern it’s incredible to think they were made by Bronze Age potters some 3,800 years ago! Heraklion Archaeological Museum, Crete. 📷 by me #Archaeology

My photo collage shows five cylindrical Minoan cups each with a single handle and a slightly flaring rim. Each cup is decorated with a different geometric polychrome motif as follows:

Top left: on a black background, a central band delineated by an upper and lower white line contains evenly-spaced dark-orange circles. Each orange circle is outlined by a white line. Above and below the central band are swirling white vine-like lines.

Top right: on a black background, a large white spiral on the front of the cup and beside it a dark-orange oval with stylised white petals at each end which looks like a wrapped sweet!

Middle left: a central band of white and dark orange diagonal lines runs around the cup. Above and below the central band are alternating black and white diagonal shapes, the black ones look like shark fins

Bottom left: a central reddish-orange band delineated with a white line. Above the central band are swirling, spiralling white lines against a black background, and below the central band are alternating white and black diagonal lines.

Bottom right: A central band delineated with white lines contains white 's'-shaped diagonal white stripes. Above the central band a row of red dots outlined with white circles. Below the central band a single white line on the black background.

This type of Minoan pottery is known as Kamares Ware, named after the Kamares Cave on Mount Ida on the Greek island of Crete where this kind of pottery was first discovered. Kamares Ware vessels were luxury items produced by palace workshops at Phaistos and Knossos on Crete. These five cups were excavated at Phaistos and are dated 1800-1700 BC.

Day 2 of #RepostAGhost The original prompt for this piece was 'ornate'. I inked the bookmark with the ghost looking up at empty ornate frames then added some of my previous years AuGHOST illustrations on the PC after scanning it. It was great fun to do! 👻✒️ #AuGHOST #AuGHOST2026 #ink #B&Wart #ghost
