Hey it's me, your favorite Social Media Cryptid! I'm running a flash fundraiser for our local anti-ICE community network in Ventura County. These postcards are going out for $5 a pop. I'm @Lucy-Bellwood on Venmo. DM me with how many you'd like and a good mailing address and we'll make it happen 💛

a collage of drawings of a late 80s early 90s computer programmer or engineer, wearing various business shirts and ties. He has a classic 90s haircut and big gold glasses. In some drawings he's holding up a corporate coffee mug, chewing on something while he concentrates, pouring coffee, staring intently at computer screens... an holding a cute chess piece up to his wife saying "look, honey, it's us! hehe" and she responds "...", it's kindof cringe.
he might resemble what Kinger from The Amazing Digital Circus would've looked like before he came there.... but maybe it doesn't... we may never know

@mplsmutualaid | Linktree Clearinghouse of mutual aid for our neighbors

For those who can, here are links to donate directly to local efforts on the ground resisting ICE's terrorizing of Minneapolis. Let me know what you donated to where, and I'll match it until I get a panicked call from my bank!

Memory is a fragile thing in this moment, so it is important to keep in mind that Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his caucus against ICE funding earlier this week.

Our culture has such a reliance on art, mixed with so much disdain for artists' lives. Someone throws soup at a painting in a gallery or whatever and everyone acts like it's a literal murder, but that level of sympathy is for the object, almost never for the living conditions of artists.

The indie Filipino short film "The Lovers" (Studio Heartbreak) is now complete, and will be released this summer on Youtube.
In the meantime, here's a nice official poster illustrated by Ami Thompson.

The spectacle of Darby Allin is singular in TV wrestling. Like watching one of those superheroes whose only power is that you can't kill them, but you can beat them up real bad. It still makes my jaw drop. 🤼

while i was drawing this, i did zone out and invent a whole plot to go along with the very loose narrative playing out in these sketches and if i had infinite time and no money problems, i would draw it all out as a fancomic. alas!! alas.....

Libertus Rubedo. Last Updated: Jan 10, 2026.

Libertus Rubedo. Last Updated: Jan 10, 2026.

“My name is Lesley Windham Chiaroscuro. I am, in fact, Second Summoner of the Cloud Spire, Keeper of the Spark, Walker of Rainbows, and First Clerk to the Lord of Dreams, and I will not be subject to the likes of some common hedge mage with a grudge!”

“Your name’s Libertus. You fight for whoever wants you.”

“My name is Lesley Windham Chiaroscuro. I am, in fact, Second Summoner of the Cloud Spire, Keeper of the Spark, Walker of Rainbows, and First Clerk to the Lord of Dreams, and I will not be subject to the likes of some common hedge mage with a grudge!” “Your name’s Libertus. You fight for whoever wants you.”

Premise


A unicorn bound to service in the Tower of Dreams, Lesley was once considered one of the purest and most powerful magical beings in the realm of light — that is, until he was found guilty of treason against the Lord of Dreams himself.

Of course, those lofty beings of light would never sentence one of their own to death. As a measure of mercy, Lesley faces a much more practical punishment: banished to the Greylands, his name added to the list of summons, the once dignified Lesley — now known as ‘Libertus’ — finds himself now at the beck and call of any magic user who might summon him into their world.

A shame he’s summoned into a brutal Witch’s War.

His only hope of surviving the war and clawing his way back up the ranks to the realm of light lies is in the most unlikely of allies: an ogre, by the name of ‘Rubedo.’

Audience Discretion Is Advised


LIBERTUS RUBEDO is a fantasy adventure online serial novel featuring complex characters in traumatic and abusive situations. It will explore graphic depictions involving scenarios of violence, death, abuse, power, and also contain sexual subject matter.

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.

sometimes it feels like the publishing industry wants to treat cartoonists like we're all hobbyists, like we don't need to get paid reasonably, or on time, like this is just a fancy we're pursuing in our spare time. meanwhile, they give us BRUTAL deadlines that necessitate a full time schedule
