I caught the women's speedskating final today and please tell me I'm not the only one who thought this.

I just got a look at the menu UI in the upcoming Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls and it's making Comics Production Me VERY happy right now. youtu.be/5tly0EEAsaY?...

I'm retouching a manga where the author decided to hand-letter something. Later in the chapter, the author changed their mind and switched to live type. Should I stay true (do what the author did), or stay consistent (make everything either hand-drawn or live type)?

There's no right answer.

Feels really stupid to have to point out that invading a country is wrong, but we are living in a U.S. culture that doesn't value evidence, trust, and humility.

Gee, I skip one Game Awards and miss out on the live announcements for a new Mega Man, a new Ace Combat...

I like interviews with creators where they admit that there are minor nits with some of their works that they'd love to change.

Bringing this up because someone asked if I was proud of a logo and I keep thinking "if only I'd rotated that letter 'N' another 3 degrees, I'd be happy."

I'm getting real tired of this thin-skinned, self-serving, no-evidence-having excuse of a human.

Trump orders deployment of troops to Portland, ICE facilities - www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

I finally got around to watching K-Pop Demon Hunters, and I kinda liked it! On Twitter years ago I admitted to wanting a Dazzler movie directed by the Wachowskis, but I think I might not need that anymore, because this is pretty much it.

(I would've done Dazzler as a sung-through, but close enough)

Just reading about Dumb Old Trump's vow to "protect prayer in schools." Same old "sell something you already own" tactic.

Here's the thing: students have ALWAYS had the right to pray in public schools. No gov't employee may lead a prayer, but the students can pray all they want.

The weather here in New York was really nice this morning.

Everyone should be able to say that about their home more frequently.

Titanic Scion demo on PC is a great help. I'm still in the exosuit parts though, haven't gotten into any giant mechs.

Me after working AnimeNYC: "Damn, how do people keep attending so many cons? This is a lot of work!"

Also me after working AnimeNYC: "Hey, SPX is coming up!"

I found out about the super-local Geek Out At Staten Island con just yesterday; very pleased to have gone today!

They were blaring anime opening themes over the PA, and "Answer" (March Comes In Like a Lion) happened to come on as I was getting my wristband. IT'S A SIGN

Word of the Day: manga

Of course I can. I manga, you mango, he/she/they mangle... Easy.

I got my copy of Scholastic's print version of Mecha-Ude! I did the logo for the original web adaptation by @azuki.co, which was unused by Scholastic, but mm-mm, their hardcover's got all the print effects: matte base, spot gloss, gradient foil... and a full-color interior!

I'm watching a video tutorial on how to restore an *ahem* older, disused bicycle. The host is gushing over his own marvelous machine.

Host: Gosh, look at these! Don't you just love these vintage cantilever brakes? Wonderful!

Me: What's he mean by "vintage"? MY bike has cantilever-- oh no...

Saw Superman. Liked Superman. That is all.

Great article! As a manga production artist, I sometimes set up libraries for reoccurring logos and visuals.

Sometimes it clues me in to minor worldbuilding details: in one series, a character's delivery van changes model trims, because just like IRL, he doesn't drive the exact same van every day.

Gquuuuuux episode 11, man...

Today, on Juneteenth, we honor the strength and resilience of Black Americans and renew our commitment to Freedom without Favor and Equality without Exception—for everyone.

Mitsuru Adachi's work "Short Game" (a baseball anthology) was nominated for "Best New Edition of Classic Manga" at the 2025 American Manga Awards!

It was a great privilege being the letterer/retoucher/designer on that one.

Holy crap it's National Cartoonists Day? I'm going to enjoy this.

A federal website watered down the Underground Railroad. Harriet Tubman's descendant wants to know why. Rita Daniels, the great-great-great-grandniece of Harriet Tubman, said she was “devastated” when she saw the National Park Service had softened language on its website.

If you don't understand why this is wrong, you may need to read a history book or two (hundred).
