We've got a running spreadsheet since 2019. The big story this year was Kit Kat's dramatic fall, after 6 years of dominance, to a lowly 4th place finish.

Stretch goal met! Backers $20 and up will receive "Biting At the Ankles of Giants" by thy dungeon gal. Next up: @opensketchbook.bsky.social and Alexandra Altringham demonstrate that subtext is for quitters in "The Empire Express".

The full quote: "I think the sublime confusion is from nineteen to twenty-nine. You think you are late for everything, you're a has been, nothing is happening, there's no opportunity for you, the world is closed, everything is a disaster, you wanna die. And then you're thirty. " "You young people are in the exact age of desperation. I never felt more done and old than in my twenties. I'd say 'life has passed me and I did nothing.' But I'm here to tell you that's not true: you have a lot of fucking time."

I love Guillermo del Toro calling ages 19 to 29 "sublime confusion"

Drunkk doodle.
“HELP MY SON IS A BUG” lol. Lmao.

Thinking about my favorite zine.
Swallow Your Pride (NY, 1990s)

Genuinely blown away by the quality of these designs. This has gotta be a contender for some the coolest collab/limited run merch I've ever seen. Needless to say, that preorder is LOCKED IN!!! 😤

I genuinely haven't seen a single thing you've had a hand in that I haven't loved so I have no doubts they'll be a hit ☺

I genuinely thought I'd lost it for a second when I saw this lol. This is so ridiculously sick though, I can't wait to see the designs 😤💕

Augur of deceit

Still wishing someone partnered up with me in turning this bad boy into a statuette of some kind

Of course! And yeah that's kind of what I've seen too lol. Though it feels like there's been a slow shift towards older forms of outreach in art like newsletters and blogs and zines recently so hopefully other creative follow suit. Anyways, thanks so much for the response and for your work!!! ☺

Awesome! I've always loved your stuff so you absolutely have earned a subscription from me lol. Any other artists/creatives that do newsletters that you'd recommend??
