In the meantime though it's just more fun to be a fujo and work with things more in the abstract and entertainment side of things...idk I want to be more anonymous and mysterious but also more raw and honest.... Who knows who knows ....

I'd like to make more art about myself, and my experiences etc, since while my life is boring I think I've seen and done various interesting things...but I feel like I don't have the maturity or reflectiveness/bravery to do it well...idk

Hamnet (2025) – Only two tears, flowing in quick succession There’s a common historical misconception that because of the high child mortality in the premodern era, parents were not as emotionally attached to their children as they are now. This myth has be…

The what??????? Oh nooo …

It remains insane to me that DOGE was treated at the time as an impressive shock and awe accomplishment - “you can’t deny he’s getting stuff done!” - and then instantly memory holed by the press once if became clear it was a total failure by every possible standard including Musk’s own

timelapse. i did the coloring almost entirely with the airbrush this time. it’s not my favorite way to color but i wanted that contrast between harsh lines and soft body. also couldn’t decide on the background at all, i guess it really doesn’t need much.

Going to make a thread of free software that's useful for making zines (writing, illustrating, image processing, laying out, publishing...)
Different operating systems. Let's go...

An earthy colorful graphic announcing the Cartoonist Cooperative's art challenge called Cartoonber. The illustration shows the Coop's mascots Nibford and Inkling as bugs sitting on top of round red text bubbles. The Co-op logo is justified left at the top with centered text. The text reads, "Cartoonist Cooperative presents Cartoonber 2025! Join your fellow comic makers to create a four-page mini comic (or four single pages) together this fall!" Underneath this are four prompts: Round one: rise. Round two: fall. Round three: persistence. Round four: revival. Text at the bottom reads, "Join the fun on social media October fifteenth to December fifteenth!"

I've always been a cartoonist...but I used to draw my actual self and not this birdsona

I've said before. AI isn't a program. It isn't an app on your phone. It isn't an idea. It's a very real physical building that can barely keep running by consuming multiple cities worth of resources. When the money runs out, and the utilities are cut, AI will cease to function.

Cover of my comic "Fried Zine Tomato' - three little red tomatoes are dangling at the top of the cover and then the rest of the cover is covered by tomato vines and the words "Fried Zine Tomato' and my name

A forest of mushrooms and a little frog, a winding stream, a butterfly and a bird

A day in the life of Frogby, Frogby wakes up in the morning, says good morning, reads with a cup of tea, takes a trip around the lake, goes for a swim, stops for a picnic with a friend 'Would you like any of the brie?' says the friend, a rat, 'No, thank you! I fancy a bit of ched' says Frogby. Frogby goes for another swim, he takes the long way home, he watches the stars before bed and he says goodnight before starting again.

Just a few more of my favorite things I've made over the past couple of years

Five things zine fairs do that I love - sheer spite press Hello! I’ve been thinking about zine fairs (and book fairs, small press fairs, and other places where people stand behind a table and sell you little booklets). I’ve tabled...

Every zine fest is a miracle and a labour of love, but here are some things that I have experienced that make for a zine fair that is especially nice to table at:
sheerspite.ca/five-things-...

this is a great write-up of actionable tips for organizing zinefests, and also captures some of what I've enjoyed about the zinefests I've been part of. zine-centric fairs have absolutely been my best experiences as an author & creator.
