Get ready to get the gang back together this April.

I need you to understand that you only get to make good art by making A LOT of bad art first. I promise you. The good art will come.

THIS ONE

Seconding this pick

🍁🧣Happy Canada anniversary🍁🧣

I’m not sure we’ve properly addressed how profoundly disturbing it is that America can largely shrug at the stashing of human beings in giant warehouses.

This should set off alarm bells. ONE IN FOUR Canadians experienced food insecurity while TWO OUT OF THREE of those did so while full time employed. And these numbers are rising sharply. There's an upcoming one time tax relief indexed by need but what then?

If they can continue this for 3 days the local economy will grind to a halt, I hope they can manage it, general strikes might be the only real weapon the people have left

Can @dropout.tv bring this back please I beg

also NYCC is coming up and i am begging u PLEASE wear a MASK!!!!!!! do it for georg

Free Piano (Not Haunted) @heywhitney.bsky.social takes a new note to cleverness, spookiness & coming of age story. I enjoyed the way this #graphicnovel is written/crafted! PLUS a great read for spooky season but also being true to yourself! Here is a little fan animation I made based off the cvr!

This is amazing!!! Thank you!!

I just don’t want “film a video and hope it goes viral” to be a “reasonable” expectation of authors!! I hate being on video! I am too awkward for video!

I miss when AI meant adobe illustrator

Btw I also hate adobe illustrator

Beautiful sample image of the vibrant art in “Free Piano (Not Haunted)”

I just finished my copy of the new graphic novel “Free Piano (Not Haunted)” by @heywhitney.bsky.social and it is an absolute joy. Beautiful art, sweet and fun story with a moral that everyone who spends too much of our days online needs, and even a history lesson about the Prophet-5! Wonderful book.

Tony! Thank you so much for all your support! I'm so glad you liked it!

Major thanks to @stevenraymorris.bsky.social who has been a huge cheerleader for me and this project! 🩷👻🎹

I would happily go back to an iPod. Is there a way to load it up without iTunes?

So what are we using instead of Spotify? I'm on android/PC. Or am I just going to have to go back to burning mix CDs?
