Cat Blackard 🌈🌴✨

It's such a privilege to ramble through life with @mothmother.com. Together, we make each other's magical worlds all the more magical. 💗

I was watching Star Wars and Indiana Jones at 4 (and my parents shielded me from stuff like the Rancor, the Ark, all of Temple of Doom.) I think it's chill.

My girlfriend, the incomparable @catblackard.bsky.social, cropped this down and I was like: "did you just make my kitten into a reaction image?!"

All this AND Stacy Keach as the guy who runs a magical hobby shoppe!? SOLD!

This is why I'm so proud to create packaging and design for modern physical media releases with artists like @marcwithac.bsky.social and labels like @needlejuice.bsky.social who understand the importance and dimensional beauty of art as objects. marcwithac.bandcamp.com

So valid. The experience of physical media is so tactile and delightful and the custom time capsule of cassette recording can't be beat. (In my experience, young people who encounter physical media now find it more relatable and engaging.)

Women Wearing Shoulder Pads is a wonderfully unhinged animated telenovela. The first two episodes involve a lesbian guinea pig matador and duck cunnilingus. I am hooked.

Valid. 🌹

ALT TEXT: God, gesturing to two humans he created, as if to say, "look at these weird things I made. They have a sense of independent consciousness, yet aren't remotely aware of the forces that guide and govern them or their own internal machinations. They're fun though."

Unwrap an all-beef cassette loaded with juicy tracks! 🍔 I'm so delighted by how the cassette packaging I designed for @marcwithac.bsky.social's Steamed Hams came out. 😭♥️
This video only shows half the story... 👀🥩

The main cover is made from abstract figure studies I did in college which were damaged by a basement flood and mid-century psychiatric materials given to be by a friend from his mom's former business. This is layered, textured human art. Every fragment of it tells a story.

Today's the day! Today's the day! Today's the day! Get yourself an unforgettable audio luncheon! 🍔I did the album art for this record (and the companion EP, Steamed Clams - shhh! 🤫) and if you buy it as physical media, you'll find this record is both visually and sonically revealing. 🐛🥩

Did you find the surprise early appetizer? We hope it tides you over until the Steamed Hams listening party at the MWAC Bandcamp tonight at 5:30 PM EST!

Essential reading.

YouTube video by People Make Games The Rockstar Workers Fired Before They Could Finish GTA 6

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.

That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

I'm at North Carolina Comicon this weekend! If you're in the area come by and say hi💕. I'm repping Lightning Dog, an all-ages action series born from my love of 80s and 90s sci-fi and animation, mutants and dope furry media 😼✌️

Thanks Tal! I'll do my best! 😤✊💗

It means so much to be able to share this experience with @creatingkennedy.bsky.social and the other wonderful folks who've reached out about K8 Was Here. Thank you for going on this journey with us and the incredible gift of this art. ♥️♾️ 🧵5/5

Surprise RPG Omniverse's Surprise RPGs are intense, embodied actual play experiences and cinematic audio storytelling. An experimental method of roleplaying devised by GM Doug Banks.

One of the wildest things is that since we released K8, it's proved as intense and affective to listen to as it was for us creating it. So much so that the Surprise RPG format is something we've continued to develop across multiple series- all on Patreon and YouTube. www.youtube.com/@SurpriseRPG 4/5

In K8 Was Here, I play a queer teen in 2016, who, unbeknownst to me, is living in the bad timeline from BttF2. What unfolds is 1) a brilliantly new and different story in the BttF universe that effortlessly weaves through and beyond the series' timeline for a sequel like no other and... 🧵2/5

(That said, there's more than a few straight folks in my crew. But they're so real, vulnerable, and antiestablishment I honestly forget they're straight. 😹)
