This graphic novel by @maassive.bsky.social and @plutarian2.bsky.social, based on a chamber opera written in a concentration camp, is terrific: a surreal story of defiance in the face of totalitarianism, told with wit and heart.

@plutarian2.bsky.social and I are supremely grateful to Andy Konopak, Hannah Benson and Alice Del Simone for lending their voices and passion to our panel.
27.07.2025 16:12 β π 2 π 1 π¬ 1 π 0I'm waiting to board for #sdcc and here's the thing: Godzilla in Minus One is not a metaphor for survivors guilt. That's the straight up text of the movie. The metaphor is self-annihilation, particularly militarized self-annihilation. I'm tired.
24.07.2025 09:59 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0One of the things no one tells you in undergrad is eventually "research" becomes reading a thousand things you already know on the chance there's something in there you don't.
23.07.2025 00:39 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0First of all: that is wild as hell.
Some of us just aren't built for a single thing all the time and more people drop out chasing this impossible standard, because it's all "I need a unified voice" until you need something NOW and then a competent voice will do, you know?
Universal is the wrong word, but like......widespread.
19.07.2025 17:51 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0This frustration is so universal: I saw an art director saying that a portfolio with more then 2 styles is "underdeveloped" and that is so at odds with everyone I know who has the capacity to be a lifelong artist. That desire to unfold yourself in different ways keeps you going over a lifetime!!
