Yeah, IT should never _see_ your password.

But I get it. Corporate IT has its practicalities at times too.

Nice job! I looked through my art and found out I'm a pretty cheerful fellow ;)

Did H. P. Lovecraft write fantasy horror? Or did he write horrific SCIENCE FICTION?

In the new Bayt al Azif issue 6, astrophysicist Dr. Erik Rosolowsky looks at the hard astronomical science of the 1920s and 30s that fascinated and inspired Lovecraft, and how that has changed in the century since.

To add to this, follow people with an audience your size or smaller. Boost people where and when you can. Be honest and sincere in your feedback. If possible, make the effort to monetarily support marginalized creators.

Refer fellow artists to gigs you cannot take on, review grant applications, read layouts, give the direct email address of the printer you go to, share information, all the time, always. Buy self-published zines! It's an ecosystem and being helpful and kind is as important as being talented!

It's now obvious that the regime was comically unprepared for the possibility that Iran would fight back. In fairness, they're used to dealing with the Democrats.

They steal your work, they dumb you down, they make your electricity more expensive, they take your water and your livelihood.

But at least you’ll get opportunity of a lifetime: information that according to one BBC study is likely to be wrong 51% of the time!

The Anakin Padme four panel meme.

First panel Anakin head and shoulders against a field of tall grass. The caption reads: The IT guy complimented my password.

Next panel Padme close up face smiling over similar background. The caption reads: Based on length and complexity score, right?

Third panel, below the first. Anakin close up of head on same background. No caption.

Last panel, below the second. More of Padme's head no longer smiling. Same background. The caption reads: Based on length and complexity score, right?

Collage art on an interior page of SPINE, incuding flowers and the words "the pit of your voice." Pen and collage art on an interior page of SPINE. A concentric circle is labeled "the pit." Other text includes "watching" and "the falling of."

Since SPINE came out, I occasionally get emails with pictures of bound books and questions about the plot. My favorite is when I get photos of someone's modified book.

I received these on Tuesday, and I love that this person brought collage into their prompts.

There is a grad student who was figuring out how to document the final board states of legacy games (at the time they were focused on Pandemic IIRC)

I would love to see a similar kind of documentation for games like SPINE.

"What legacy will you leave?"
Image of an oak seedling

Bonsai can live hundreds of years. Who will inherit this living being? What will its world be like?
•	A unique blend of creative writing prompts, meditative drawing, and imaginative worldbuilding
•	Grow your own bonsai by tracing from page to page, adding a single new brushstroke or pen line each time
•	No skill or prior experience with games, art, or journaling necessary
•	Requires only a pen or brush and a quiet moment in your day
“A beautifully contemplative game”
– Mint-Rabbit,
There’s a TTRPG for That!

Screenshot of The Bonsai Diary at IPR with the message, "2026-03-12 We sold out but more are on the way, check back next week." Below that is the announcement "2026 Origins Award FINALIST!"

What a boost the Origins Award Finalist announcement gave to to the Bonsai Diary! @ipr.bsky.social is now sold out. But good news: a new shipment arrives in the warehouse today. More good news for retailers: I've upgraded the back cover to help you better sell in store (see next post)

Preliminary concept for ROBOTS AND EMPIRE featuring a robot hand reaching out a shaking a humanoid hand with a stary field and planet in the background. Loose color study for ROBOTS AND EMPIRE with notes scribbled by the artist, reading “Rich black → dull bl[ue]” and “Flares off his reflections.”

Again Giskard is pivotal, so he stands right of center, with the center point of the circular window (the future) being his "heart," or where his heart would be were he human. The planet's fate hangs over him like a Damoclean sword. 2/4

A robot stands in front of a large circular viewport as it shakes the hand of a humanoid. The crescent shape of a planet hovers among a starry field as seen tthrough the glass behind them. The wall is structured with metal supports and curves up to the ceiling where conduit runs. Grated deck plates run the length of the floor seen in the immediate foreground.

ROBOTS AND EMPIRE (1986)
Acrylic - 20” x 32”

My favorite scene in the book, save the ending, was the handshake. Reading the manuscript, I was struck by the understated beauty of that scene and became determined to use it for the cover art. 1/4
