Was on a friends podcast about the hustle working for yourself & what it’s like to live without a steady paycheck for years.
Kinda proud of:
“Well, I really started to enjoy finding cool stones. It’s free, interesting, & should I ever hit rock bottom at least I’ll have a hobby already started.”

Yes Nice GIF ALT: Yes Nice GIF

We are a lying species.

We at one point had to have that talk and be like… “fuck dude, we need to just have someone we all agree on isn’t going to pull anything sketchy and we trust…
Oh, and give them a cool seal to press into things…”

Poster for "Charles Darwin's Christmas Carol" showing an elaborate engraving-style image

In my continuing attempt to tackle new challenges in middle age, I am starring in a play later this month!

"Charles Darwin's Christmas Carol" is a delightful one-act by my brilliant friend Matt, with a cast that also includes @lisafybush.bsky.social as my wife/cousin.

We're at MuCCC the 18-21st.

The Many-Eyed Potato inside a egg fortune machine. A sign on the bottom reads "Gaze upon the potato."

Here are the fortunes I wrote for the @anomalyfilmfest.com Many-Eyed Potato fortune machine this year.

It's the Malkavian in me. 🌕🔮

I can't stress enough, as a man that still uses underscores on filenames for print files, how every fiber of my graphic designer being is bothered by this...

There is an art director in my brain that is shaking his head and screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOO"...

Thanks!

I can hear that without hitting play. Haha.

I didn’t mention the lion as that is what follows in my mind when I do that and didn’t want to see tooo weird and programmed from commercials. Haha.

I still go “buc-buc-buc” when I see certain looking rabbits chewing from that Cadbury ad.

“Misty Forest”, an 18”x24” oil painting of a dark, closed-in forest with breaks of sunlight and fog.

“Bay Waves”, an 18”x24” oil painting of a bright, open seascape. A large wave crashes onto the shore, as cliffs and clouds sit in the background.

18”x24” oil painting of a nebula in red and orange, above a dark forest in shades of purple, blue and black. A cozy campfire brightly lights a clearing next to an old log, and reflects on the surrounding trees. A rushing stream cuts through the forest.

“Autumn Stream”, an 18”x24” oil painting of a forest in autumn. A dramatic sunset and gathering clouds fill the sky, with rolling hills of colorful trees. A slightly rushing stream cuts through the clearing towards the viewer.

Hey, thanks for sharing! I make oil paintings of natural & fantasy landscapes #art #tradart #oilpainting

I can never wear a red hat again thanks to the MAGA idiots. I already am “Patriot Passing” being a big white guy with a shaved head and beard…

being ruled by tiny men bereft of both curiosity and the ability to feel wonder is a terrible fate

PANEL 1: DANTE, a ten year old boy in a baseball hat, thrust his fits in the air while SHELDON, a ten year old boy with large glasses, swings his arms out to the side in a dance. DANTE: WOOO! It’s December! SHELDON: [music notes] Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat! Put another penny in the old man’s hat! [music notes] PANEL 2: A white goose faces the viewer, squinting his eyes angrily. GOOSE: hey. HEY. I don’t need your judgement, Pal. I’ve had a stressful time at work. —— Want 5,000 more comics like this? Join us at Patreon.com/sheldoncomics for the *FULL* Sheldon archives, art giveaways, fun community, and more!

COMIC: Christmas is coming!

The older I get I understand tradition more and more. Or maybe just get a truer appreciation for traditions.

But that was exactly it for me. I saw the ad and was like “well the holidays are here!”

The Gil-Monster presents: "Hallmark Christmas Romance BINGO" B: A person or place who makes “the best hot chocolate”, A character says “It’s not Christmas without [noun]!”, Four Xmas trees in the same shot (in any location other than a Xmas tree lot), Female lead still lives with parent or parents, Christmas cookie baking sequence/competition I: Female and male leads were former high school sweethearts, Immaculately groomed Hollywood face stubble on male lead, Big career opportunity that means leaving town before Christmas Eve, A date at a Christmas tree lot, A parent who passed away at a previous Christmas N: Child obviously in their teens who still stans for Santa Claus, Santa Claus arrives to adult applause (whether Real Santa or an impersonator), FREE SQUARE: With spits in the eyes of chemistry, our two mains kiss, A character objects with “You can never have TOO much [Xmas thing]”, “I can explain!” G: Cock block after our leads both realize they stand under mistletoe, One of the leads has never done a staple winter/Christmas tradition, No literary conflict in the story whatsoever, A person or place who makes “the best gingerbread”, A POC whose raison d’etre is the female lead finally bagging herself a man O: Christmas tree decorating sequence, Ugly Christmas sweater competition/party, One of the leads sits on Santa’s lap to tell him what they want, Male lead is a prince from a fictional but otherwise very British country, Lacey Chabert

It's that time of year again when @miserelovesco.bsky.social and I plumb the depths of these awful holiday movies. Feel free to play along with us!

Omg. Is it the palm tree Xmas lights?! I was literally just saying this to people today. Haha.

I liked the punk vibe it existed in. You couldn’t officially use it. It wasn’t really the real logo… I fully get it.

I worry it’s going to be merchandised so much it loses its unique punk vibe by being just so ubiquitous on every thing possible it gets lost…

We will always have the alien IRBIR.

I handled it well, I think at least, they are a talented person, but there is something that bothers me when photographers lurk at events and photograph members at their most tired or in a moment not in character. He asked for the reason why, & I told him that I saw him completely ruin memories.

I told him that imagine having an amazing night on a project that completely drained you and so happy to see a success… only to see the next day images of you at your worst & struggling. They were so upset.
That’s why I said no.
Gritty editorial pics have their place, but my teams deserve to shine.

Chatted w/ a photog asking to work together. wasn’t interested.
He tried to show me his work, but I pointed out I & an old team was already in there.
Years back, he came to this amazing event that we took months to do. The only pics he shared was the team exhausted from a hard day. Looking weary.

I have had more than a fair share of stalkers in my life. Tbh this was the first one that just thought we were just two close friends… the others I’ve had were women and there was a romantic component to it that seemed somehow normal for stalking. I never experienced bro-stalking. Just to hangout.

It was such a weird thing. I actually took time to email him telling him about how it was tough with the cancer and what the family was going through. I took a day to write up an email in response to him saying all they. And his response back was so amazingly entitled and creepy it bothered me.

Cyclops pumpkin and a large pumpkin with a toothy maw.

From our spooky little corner of the world to yours, @thegilmonster.bsky.social and I wish you a Happy 'Thanksgiving'. And thank you @magnusapollo.bsky.social for your amazing pumpkins and even more amazing friendship!

🎵 “I came in like a Butter Ball…” 🎶

Happy Thanksgiving!

I’m thankful for so many things and people in this crazy world.
