Why does this feel like something I'd see happening in Speed Racer?

The Academy of Sciences is celebrating the 30th birthday of their resident albino gator, so that could be worth checking out.

And while it's not a museum, Dolores Park is worth going to based on the view you get at the top of the hill alone.

“And here’s some awesome high concept world building with cool cinematics that’s going to be wasted on a big ol’ gatcha.”

……dangit…..

If you want to give her a shot, here's my OC Itami Saitou. Hope this is enough info to work with.

“Comics were the first ones to punch Nazis before movies. They are inherently political. One thing they want to do is erase the past, but that’s one thing that this museum celebrates.” Guillermo del Toro at San Diego Comi-con on the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art

Tweet from Sonny that says “don’t watch a 3 hour YouTube vid about colour theory just pick from this photo I’m not joking,” with the picture of Jim Henson and the muppets

This is a technique I’ve used for years because of this one tweet from @sonnyross.bsky.social. Thank you Sonny for changing my life

The book cover was designed by Talia Abramson at Penguin but they let me have a bit of a say over the colours. And I said boy do I have an idea….

Is it me or do these past Hunters seem to all have kind of a "correlation" to Huntrix, in the way that Sailor Moon villain groups of 5 usually correspond the Senshi?

Rumi's mom is of course the "Rumi", Celine resembles Mira, and Afro Hottie is Zoey (even to the point of potentially being biracial?)

Let’s see if any of those guys could survive the SyFy afternoon matinee where 70% of their catalog were Asylum films.

Most people I talk to who still insist on using Twitter keep saying it's still the most widely used social platform despite all the Nazis. A lot of indie and corpo VTubers seem to think that the raw numbers and engagement are worth the slop, but I keep questioning how true that is.

ENDLESS FANTASIA is my upcoming adventure-fantasy comic series, set in an amalgamated world of remixed fairytales and fables.

Those of you who like '90s Sonic, Kingdom Hearts, battle shōnen, and/or tokusatsu superheroes might enjoy it!

We're launching a Kickstarter this Summer!

Itami Saitou, a young Japanese girl with pink hair. She's a martial artist wearing a short red dress and always prioritizes looking cute while kicking butt.

The Westside Chinatown Crew, a gang of five wannabe gangsters based off the main characters from Journey to the West. From left to right you have Monkey Boy (the humanoid monkey and face of the crew), Hoggins (big pig guy who's the ultimate gym bro), Sandy (river demon/fishy gal who likes fishnets) , Trippy T (aspiring rapper who's always carrying a mic), and Chuck (horse guy who's usually their getaway car).

Ramen Rider! A ramen based tokusatsu hero that's a soupy based homage to Kamen Rider. Here he has 4 forms as is standard for Heisei/Reiwa era Riders: Shoyu form (base form with a soy sauce theme), Shio form (speedy form based off a salt broth), miso form (high attack form based off miso flavor), and tonkotsu form (high defense form that's based off pork bone broth).

The young lady in the leopard print jacket is Gina Gianelli, a spoiled rich girl who's been roped into learning martial arts from the older, pink haired woman on the right: Itami Saitou (Yes, my first character but much older!). Imagine Karate Kid but the student was a spoiled fashionista who insists on wearing impractically expensive outfits even when kung fu fighting, and you more or less understand who Gina is.

I've drawn a couple of characters that I'm proud of! Here's a sample of them from L to R:

Gal with the pink hair: Itami Saitou
Monkey and his pals: The Westside Chinatown Crew
Ramen Rider
Leopard print lady: Gina Gianelli, future student of an older Saitou.

Sometimes we got to remember what makes Superman such an endearing hero. Especially today of all days.

Seeing a lot of discussion today about number of followers and how much artists make, so just want to remind everyone, if you like an artist, try to support them however you can. Even if you can't spare any money, just reposting their stuff and promoting them when you can is great.

This is why I'm glad I subscribed to your channel. When you make vids, it's on your own terms and because you're passionate about it. We need more guys like you to cut through the slop.

infographic: "whoa there, pardner!" a fake bluesky DM i sent myself as an example says: "hi can u please not repost your own art so much. it's literally murder and oppression and hate crime that sometimes i have to scroll past things i've already seen". a displeased cowboy emoji is giving this message a thumbs down. infographic info continues: 'round these parts we curate our own timelines! if you don't want to see a post again, open the meatball menu and click "hide post for me." now you don't have to see it and no one has to feel bad!" (the cowboy emoji is now giving you a thumbs up. off to the side, there's a screenshot of the aforementioned menu with the relevant buttons circled in blue.)

this hasn't personally happened to me, but i've seen other artists here talking about it intermittently. so here's an infographic about a handy feature i think a lot of people are overlooking! #artsky #artistsonbsky

No Kings Day in San Francisco, June 14, 2025: The initial gathering at Dolores Park.

No Kings Day in San Francisco, June 14, 2025: Still waiting for the march to get moving. It took about an hour because the crowd was so huge.

Happy No Kings Day! Here are my march-and-sketch drawings from today's San Francisco gathering. Fellow Americans, I hope your local celebration was equally lively. First, the assembly at Dolores Park... (1/3)

If you do end up having that discussion, you should reach out to Native Hawaiian content creators for a round table discussion. It could make for a fascinating stream!

I often wonder how long you can keep using "The YouTube Game" to justify making slanderous, clickbait-y titles before you admit you're a terrible person who only cares about optics.
