A couple days ago I started reading Tanith Lee s first published book, The Birthgrave . It is a pretty wild ride. A nameless narrator wakes up under a volcano that erupts shortly after she leaves; she wanders through a medieval world, trailing chaos and destruction in her wake, with dream-like detachment from all the strangeness and [ ]
I started playing Wanderstop and it is a cute and charming and cozy game about recovering from burnout and finding joy in a slower life and once I finished the initial tutorial I put down the Steam Deck and made a smoothie out of some greens, spices, oatmilk, and a dollop of local strawberry jam, [ ]
Trading card for Ethan s new book. The Problem has a family curse involving a giant angry mass of meat and teeth. Illustrator, 2.5h. I think it is very important that you know there is a graphic style in this named problemeat . Here s the hilariously crappy sketch I started with. Sometimes my roughs are better. [ ]
This morning, when I woke up, I felt like a very, very long time had passed since I went to sleep. Like years or more. I didn t recall anything more than maybe the vaguest wisps of dreams, so it s not as if there s years of experience here. Just a sense of time has seriously passed. This [ ]
Once a year, on Trans Day Of Visibility, cis people get a brief, furtive glimpse of the glories that lie outside of the gender binary. For them, it s just a flicker. A vision that fades quickly. For us, it s every minute of every day, if we want it to be. Sometimes we don t. Sometimes you [ ]
This Saturday, I went to the No Kings rally here in New Orleans. Kermit Ruffins got up on the stage with a trumpet and started playing The Star-Spangled Banner. Slowly, the crowd started singing along. I joined in too. And above it all, for a brief moment maybe I saw Columbia, but that was soon [ ]
So I have this file full of horny self-portraits. A while back I dropped a copy of Sandro Botticelli s famous painting The Birth Of Venus into it with the intent of doing a self-portrait version as part of a charisma/beauty/glamour sell what s gonna be more attractive than sticking yourself in the middle of the most [ ]
Carnival s over. Lent s starting. Excess before ritually giving something up. Which, really, it s the same energy as a New Year s resolution. What do you want to give up doing, what do you want to be doing more of? Not surprising now that I think about it, since Carnival is basically a Lunar New Year celebration. [ ]
A few years ago, I had an encounter. Walking home from the grocery store, I met a friendly orange cat. Outdoors, with a collar, and a tag that said something like don t worry I m an outdoors cat on one side, and bore a name on the other side: Wild Dave. Every time I d pass there, [ ]
Illustrator, 21.5 hours. Back in February, Sev asked me for a commission of their weaseltaur character. They wanted two pieces suitable for printing out at A4 or bigger and hanging in their office. Possibly to work as a dyptich. Possibly not. We kicked around a few ideas and ended at weaseltaurs in libraries, one working, [ ]
