On its way to my house RIGHT NOW

"The Genesis Mission" sounds like the title of some golden age sci-fi story that was meant to be a warning.

My first-ever publishing credit, and I'm eternally grateful for it.

And hey! You agreed to publish some rando off the street.

I'm still gonna follow people and respond to posts. I'm just not going to post anything of my own. I only have so much "online energy" these days, ha ha ha

If I ever say something like this out loud, my friends have full permission to smother me with a pillow.

Pretty much just gonna post on my Insta now-- engagement there is just as shit as it is here, but if I must keep chatting into a void, I want to be able to share art while I do it. Follow if you will!

I give up on you, Bluesky.

SOLD.

Sometimes the whole joke is in the concept. Here's something I doodled 15 years ago or so that still gives me "the chortles" when I think about it.

This is fascinating.

Cutting and pasting like this is honestly LESS work for me, ha ha ha. I'm that dumb about design software.

Heart of the Sea. Wettest County in the World. Indifferent Stars Above. Public Enemies.

I should probably invest in a scanner and start inserting text on the computer, because this whole "typing/ printing/ cutting/ pasting" thing ain't it. Otherwise, I'm (somewhat) happy with how everything is coming together.

Friends, I've come down with a touch of "the morbs" today (woke up to two-- TWO!-- rejection letters in my inbox!), so I immediately rushed to the Internet Medicine Cabinet for a dose of Lesley Gore (as Catwoman's sidekick "Pink Pussycat on TV's "Batman") to soothe my troubled heart. Enjoy!

I like to refer to my morning hairstyle as "The Man-dusa."

I don't just read pervy comics and schlocky paperback monster tales. Sometimes I cozy up with a tasteful period piece to soothe my chattering brain.

Finally, some GOOD news!

Oh, thanks for the reminder, I was just looking for something to watch while drawing tonight.

I had this exact moment today.

I put off seeing this for a long time because it had a so-so rep and boyyyy was that a mistake, I ended up really fucking digging it. I should never have doubted Terence Hill.

I'm kind of like all of these rolled together into one complete toothpaste.

I started it! Sorted through several years' worth of folders and notes and got one entire sentence written!

The face of an old man who is absolutely, positively going to start working on his novel today.

Just saying, I know it's awards season and all, and not for nothing, but I'm real proud of my story "Cicada Summer," Chthonic Matter, Vol. 3, Issue 2, Summer 2025, hint hint hint.

Darkman at Screenland. That's all.

Thank you! I'm always kinda down on my old stuff, but there's occasionally a few gems in there.

Some blank greeting cards I painted a few years ago but never did anything with.

They won't even have to size him up, he's already a giant!

No love for...?
