I will say the thing that AI does really well is emulate that precise feeling of meeting someone new, and they seem amiable and pretty verbose, but over the course of the conversation you start to realize that they’re very stupid.

Excited to table 8/23 at #InsertNameZineFest! I have some new stuff including a 6-page mini zine preview of my upcoming comic Ninja Penguin!

We have an amazing episode tonight with the most horrific and terrifying guests - @jadelowder and NEW GUEST @doodlehoff! Come support our creators and check out Jade's new campaign!

Fun read and characters 🧛‍♀️

Very excited to be finished sketching all my pages for my first comic, Ninja Penguin! #WIP #WorkinProgress #Comic

So extremely excited about this. I’ve done some smaller events since last year and had a blast at every single one, but I’m so very pumped about tackling an event this big. Let’s go!

So excited to table at #Fallcon2025 for the first time! Gonna have my nose to the grindstone there’s next few months to make sure I have some cool stuff to share with y’all

Apparently we had sirens in N Minneapolis but we slept right through them 😅 but we did wake up from the storm at 12:50… and promptly fell back to sleep

More fan art - this time of the mysterious woman and creature from @bdepillis.bsky.social’s comic “The Early Bird”. I love his sense of humor and dynamic paneling and perspectives!

Fan art of Cin from @jad-art.bsky.social comic Finding Kismet. I really enjoyed his first ashcan issue and really can’t wait to see what comes next! #findingkismetcomic

Working on my first comic about a penguin with super powers. Still just sketching but I love these goofy faces. He just a silly little guy 🐧

Changed the font cuz I want that serif I so it reads more clearly.

Good grief

Just thinking about AI becoming more and more prevalent in our places of work. I know why (because then they DON’T have to pay us). But it still feels so backwards. Anyway. Not sure if this idea has been done before but it popped in my head over my lunch break. Kind of want it on a shirt.

Guess there’s always time for making a comic when it can be terrible. #makeaterriblecomicday2025

a comic. a possum is rummaging around inside a trash can. It erupts from the can holding something in its paws. “hey!” she says. She holds out the desktop calendar. “Today is June 24th! Look!” She leans on the edge of the trash can. “that means today is make a terrible comic day!” She produces a ballpoint pen from the trash and clicks it. “the idea is to just make something! no rules, just enjoy the act of creation! (Or don’t and just do it anyway)” she is drawing on the cardboard back of the calendar. “tell a story, tell a joke, make something silly or sublime or totally abstract! make something and don’t stop making it until it’s made!” She holds up her little comic with pride. “tell your inner critic to ‘fuck off!’ make a terrible comic!”

Happy #makeaterriblecomicday2025! It’s mandatory that you create some piece of sequential art — what it is and how you make it is up to you! Have fun! You might as well!

Won’t have much time to make a freshly terrible comic for #makeaterriblecomicday2025 So here’s a half-baked one I made a few weeks ago, but never shared 🎂

Made some upgrades to my Kawai-Ivy League collectible cards with The Game Crafter. Very pleased overall! Planning on selling them at some upcoming events I’ll be tabling at.
